You need to switch to the non-thread safe version of PHP.  See:

I did that, but nothing changed.
I can't find the php5isapi.dll file in the PHP distribution ZIP, also the installation did not installed that file.

Use this link to install php. remove previous versions installed

http://php.iis.net/
You PHP process is crashing you have to revere to earlier version (if you have backup restore it) or reinstall it again.

The PHP is installed in Program Files\PHP and in C:\PHP I have two DLL files ISAPI_FCGI.DLL and NSAPI_FCGI.DLL and PHP.ini
I hope this is not a problem
add read and write permission on php folder

I don't have any file called php-v
It is not a php file it will show the php version and display the error if any with php

ASKER

ok, I did that and the php never returns, and the file is 0 bytes
Which file with 0 bytes you refering?

I assuming that your php path is c:\program files\php

I will suggest you to Install PHp from the begining

delete PHP folder from C:\PHp and c:\program files\php
delete any php.ini from windows\system32

Configure the php using any one URL as per your choice.
http://www.visualwin.com/PHP
or

ok, I did that (also re-installed the FastCGI) but now I get page not found when I try to access the php site.
The problem is not in the PHP installation, but in FastCGI settings,I don't have php5isapi.dll file !

Here is a list of server modules shipped with PHP 5:

     * sapi/php5apache2_2.dll - Apache 2.2.x module.
     * sapi/php5apache.dll (php5apache.dll) - Apache 1.x module
     * sapi/php5apache2.dll (php5apache2.dll) -  - Apache 2.0.x module.
     * sapi/php5isapi.dll - ISAPI Module for ISAPI compliant web servers
       like IIS 5.0 or newer. However the FCGI SAPI is recommended with
       IIS

I can't find any of these files in the PHP installation !
