OK here goes: this message is from the System Error Log:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20
-00805F2CD064} to the user <mycomputerName>\IWAM_<mycomputerName> SID
(S-1-5-21-1149945337-3613276661-2828900630-1016). This security permission
can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
The above is in the log: System Event 10016 (DCOM) This all looks very fierce and I have no idea what to do to fix it!
The next one is that issued by IE7 after I try to logon.
"You are not authorized to view this page" After LOGON: panel from IE7
IISAdmin: Authentication Methods Tab
Anonymous access "Checked"
Allow IIS to control password "Checked"
Integrated Windows authentication "Checked"
ASP.NET Tab
Virtual Path: Default Web Site
File location: c:\inetpub\web.config
Home Directory Tab

I had not read your note before typing this reply so I will check your suggestions and get back to you, but I think I have both boxes checked. I have Process Monitor so will run that up. Thanks again.
