We have a pair of computers (supplied by the installers of the software) which deliver content to TV's in our facility. &nbsp;It has been working for 5 years. The Software (Axis TV by Visix) was updated two years ago. &nbsp;As of two days ago we could no longer the content being displayed. To edit the content you have to either open the desktop software on the XP &quot;Server&quot; or use a web GUI. Both of these require the use of IIS. The program uses SQL 2005 in its operation.<br />
<br />
The IIS Admin service is off and when I try to start the service it gives the error:<br />
<br />
Could not start the IIS Admin service on Local Computer.<br />
Error 38: Reached the end of the file.<br />
<br />
Now the version of the software is no longer supported by the company and we will be updating to a newer version of their software or another brand but in the meantime it would be nice to bypass this error and continue editing content.<br />
<br />
I did some research and saw a few suggestions about restoring the database from a backup. I found no backups on the computer.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
