A few days ago, I installed the most current Windows 2000 updates and they 
appear to have disabled Internet Information Server. 
 
When I go to the Start menu and select Internet Information Server, 
nothing fires up. 
 
I have been advised to delete IIS and allow it to be reinstalled so I 
go to “Add/Remove Windows Components” and see that Internet 
Information Server is ticked; I clear the box to remove it so it can 
be reinstalled and it goes onto a dialogue box that says “configuring 
Internet Information Server” and then does nothing more. 
 
I check the processes underway in Task Manager and nothing appears to 
be working, so I cancel the setup. 
 
Am I right in trying to reinstall Information Server?  If so, how can
I overcome this problem of the removal hanging?

Hello there,

Do you have any anti-virus software, or any firewall software running
on the machine?
