Message:I had this error too. I'm working on a Windows XP SP 2 With all upgrades and
patches installed.
I have 4 GB internal memory. After I've disabled Virtual Memory everything
appears to work fine for me.
It makes sense that this has something to do with it, because if I connected
to the VS website from another workstation I never got the error message
mentioned.
Just after installation it worked though, so I'm not sure how you can
replicate this error.
Kind regards,

Message:
I had the same error "CGI Error ...".
I was accessing my XP box (on which virtual server is running) using Remote Deskop (RDP).
I found that after booting my XP box up if I access the page from the XP box locally (not use RDP) then it loads fine and subsequent accesses (including over RDP) then work fine.

I can get to the Admin page if I run IE as Administrator. Just opening IE as a user that's in the admin group gives the CGI error. This is XP Pro not on a domain.

Changing from integrated authentication to basic also worked for me. Thanks to whoever came up with this solution.
