Problems with FileSystemObject

Hi,

I'm really new to ASP and was following along with a tutorial in a book.
When dealing with the FileSystemObject component, I found that attempting to
use the fso.GetFile(path) method (where fso was set using the CreateObject
method, and path is set to the physical path of the file) was completely
hanging IIS, that I had to restart it to get anything going. PLacing traces
and breakpoints up to that point showed that this is the method causing the
hand. The folder in which this file resides has only about 10 files in it.

I'm running on Windows 2000 SP4 with IIS 5.0. I also have Norton AV 2002
installed and I tried disabling it in case it is the culprit. Same result.
All services that should be running appear to be in the correct (started)
state. I also have Zone Alarm Pro running, but both IIS and the browser are
running on the same machine, and the local host (127.0.0.1) is in the
Trusted Zone.

Any ideas on what mya be causing my problem?

Thanks

This sounds like Norton is still the issue. See www.aspfaq.com/2180

Thanks Aaron & Ray,

Unchecking NAV Enable Script Blocking worked just fine.
