Being smart enough to know better, I have installed Vista on my main computer. First as an upgrade then, when I was unable to get IIS to run an ASP 2.0 application, as a fresh install. Things have been better with the fresh install HOWEVER I was unable to see any of the graphic images in my locally run web pages.

I searched IIS interface, read the help files locally and on line, and searched the web, all to no avail. Then I thought to look again at the various windows features (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Turn Windows features on or off) and there it was (Internet information Services\World Wide Web Services\Common Http Features\Static Content). Turning that on gave me the missing graphics!

I hope that this note helps others avoid the few hours I spent trying to solve this problem. Now on to install VS 2005.
