I followed the instructions from these pages from the Dreamweaver Help

But my test for properly installed and working IIS fails after I installed IIS
XP component on my computer
Windows Internet explorer didn't showed the test page but this message:

"This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to
connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible
that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might
have changed or removed the webpage.
For more information about HTTP errors, see Help."

I lost my entire day today looking for help in windows XP and the internet
with no luck.

Some time ago before installing IIS I put to manual or disabled some services
that I didn't need referring to some internet sites about their functionality.
I wonder if I have turned something off that now IIS needs. What services and
and processes must be running for proper IIS functionality? I dind't turn off
anything after I installed IIS windows component this morning.

I hope someone can help me.

Have you checked to make sure the page you are attempting to
reach is where you've specified?

Thank you for your reply Katsuey.

Yes, I created a file with the name myTestFile.html in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
and the content of the file is <p>My web server is working.</p>
I'm sure I followed the instructions from the Help correctly.
When I double click the file there it opens in the browser and displays:
My web server is working.

I also tried the tutorial from this web page
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~deploypki/...nXP_Install.ht
m
Unfortunately I didn't get the same result
when I typed http://localhost in the address field of the browser, first I got
a dialog box asking for an user name and password. I'm using this computer at
home for years and I haven't set any password anywhere. So I just typed my user
name and after pressing OK the browser displayed the following error:
error '8002801c'
Error accessing the OLE registry.
/iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 17

I have no idea what to do and can't continue learning Dreamweaver.

What do you see when you enter the following in your browser's address
field -

http://localhost

?

Thank you for replying Murray.

As I said this is what happens:
