This article was previously published under Q294833



SYMPTOMS
If your Active Server Pages (ASP) script sets its codepage to UTF8 and references a type library by its globally unique identifier (GUID), it returns an E_OUTOFMEMORY error. The client receives a 500 server internal error. This is the sample script: <%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript CODEPAGE=65001%>



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 uses the incorrect codepage for file names that are read from the registry.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
