IIS 7 error when browsing asp.net website

when browsing ASP.net from IIS 7, I am getting the following error. How can I change:

mylen = Len(NTuser) -8
NTuser = Mid(NTuser, 9, myLen)

so that it wont give me an error.

you need to check if Len(NTuser) is at least 9 (or mylen is at least 1) before you use the mid function
