After reading more on this forum, I saw that there was a hotfix for version 11 that might help me, but I needed to email adobe to get it. So I did. I received the hotfix and it did seem to solve that problem, but now I have another problem. IIS will not serve any .cfm pages. This server has been reconfigured too many times so I am going to start clean. I am currently uninstalling IIS and then I will reinstall it, CF11, and the hotfix and see what happens.
My installation is on a standalone server a VM running Windows Server 2008 R2. I downloaded the installation from Adobe (after paying for it ) and simply ran the install. I used most of the defaults and gave it a password. Then applied the hotfix. At this point still no joy. I'll update if I find a cure after reinstalling everything (again).
