Hi, Stephen. I've already taken the steps outlined in your good advice, and in fact that is how I resolved the issue. For the archives, the resolution in my particular case was to change both the Norton AV Alert service and the Web Publishing service from auto to manual start. The event logs revealed timeout errors, and that Web Publishing hung whle starting, and Services showed the IIS-related services status as "Starting;" I also noted that the NAV Alert service was taking a very long time to start. After making the changes and restarting I was able to manually start the Web Publishing service, enter the IS Manager, etc., and complete the ASP tutorial successfully.
I had figured that the installation had gone alright, since I had the Inetpub folder and subfolders, etc. Anyway, now I just boot up, start IIS if I'm going to use it, then start the Norton Alert service. Everything's working fine. Thanks for your reply. BTW, the reason I thought I would see an icon in the systray is that the Dreamweaver tutorial said so, even describing the appearance of the icon.
