[dba-VB] Getting Visual Studio 3.0 running a web page

I am getting a variety of errors when trying to create a new web page
project in VS 2003.  I had a bunch of different things installed, including
VS 2001, the various 2005 betas and VS 2003, pretty much all at the same
time.

I uninstalled everything including IIS, purchased Registry Mechanic to clean
up the registry, reinstalled IIS and then VS 2003.  I am now able to serve a
basic web page IF I place my old web site's Index.HTML etc.  I see the
basics of the old ColbyConsulting.com.  So IIS appears to run.  What I am
getting ATM is a server error 500 when I try to build a new project.  From
everything I am reading is a general "it doesn't fit in any of my other
errors" error.

I have spent probably the last 8 hours messing around, then uninstalling,
then re-installing, and still no closer to success.  

My machine boots noticeably faster though.  ;-)

So, can anyone help me get VS 2003 building and running an ASP.Net web
project?
