IIS should run straight out-of-the-box, so unless you've played arround with something, then there's probably a conflict between it and another program. Try closing down all applications (and killing what you don't need in the task manager), then start it again. If that now works, start each one up individually. If that still doesn't fix it, you might want to run a virus checker over your computer in case you've picked up a trojan or some other nasties....

The article is applicable to IIS 3 and 4. I should've mentioned: I'm on IIS 5.

That is the error message I'm getting but, unfortunately, it seems like a different cause. As per instructions, I tried to locate whatever program was bound to port 25, but found none. I even tried disabling SMTP, but still nothing.

The only thing that I could find on MS site was this article. Hope it helps.
