Server Application Unavailable - after a change to a COM+ Component

Hi,

I have an .asp page that submits to an .aspx page, which has a COM+ component call to a .dll created with VS .NET. I made a change in code to the .dll, changing the connection string for what server the database is on, and the SQL user it uses. So I re-created all the COM+ stuff (server component on the middle-tier server and client proxy on the web server), with steps I'd been through before that worked before.

This time, I'm getting the following error on the web page:

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.

So when I go into Application Log its the following error:

aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80004005. This error can be caused when the worker process account has insufficient rights to read the .NET Framework files. Please ensure that the .NET Framework is correctly installed and that the ACLs on the installation directory allow access to the configured account.

aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.

What could be causing this?

(Another potential change that might affect these pages in .NET was the changing of the IP address for the web server earlier in the week. Would that affect .NET regarding these errors?)

I've seen the FAQ related to this faq855-2702, and it didn't help; the account I'm using for my ASPNET account (in the process model tag in machine.config) is a local account that has administrator privledges on the machine. I explicitly gave it permissions on the latest framework folder anyway just in case. We tried everything we could as far as file permissions, and are confident this isn't the problem. I've searched many other pages on the web, and

We were using this local account earlier with no problems; the only thing I'm aware of that has changed is the COM+ Component, and the server that's now being called for the database call, but it's not even getting that far, apparently, we're getting this error on the web server.

Thanks so much for any help!!
