Well I like to say If it will stay broken I can fix it.  This problem is certainly not intermittant :)  If I uncomment the belowmentioned line(s) it generates the problem every time.

I tried commenting out some other code in web.config then uncommenting again, no problem there.  And I know I modified the web.config once before to input my sql server name and credentials and that was not a problem.

The instructions say to find the commented out section that starts with <indentity impersonate="true" and uncomment that line only.  I dont mean to be a dunce but does that mean this entire section?  Or really only that line of the code?

Anyway I've tried it both ways and the problem occurs.

Perhaps I miskeyed while typing in the credentials and the code is not good anymore.  Wish I had simply made a copy of web.config before I modified it.  Will do that in the future.  Could someone advise me exactly what this section in your web.config looks like?

<!-- <identity impersonate="true" userName="mydomain\myuser" password=”mypassword” />

<authentication mode="Windows">

</authentication>  -->

 Thank you.  Do I uncomment at the end of that section?

Yes, I have closely studied that post and the documentation to which it points.

1. I installed the iis 6 compatibility

2. Impersonation is where I'm having the trouble.  When I uncomment that line I get the error.

3. I made the impersonation user a member of the admin group on the server.
