Turn off 500.100 Errors on IIS

[waiterm]

I'm running IIS on my laptop which is Windows XP Pro SP2.

However, rather than getting useful error messages within my page, like I get from MS Server 2003, my laptop throws up 'The page cannot be displayed, HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error blah blah'

This isn't useful, because I usually debug by putting a debug line where the error is and outputting to the browser. Obviously this 500.100 error doesn't allow me to do this.

Any ideas how I can turn the 500.100 errors off and debug in the same way to when running sites from my server?

I've tried unchecking the 'Show friendly HTTP error messages' in internet options, but the problem is common in IE and Firefox which points to IIS on my laptop. Likewise when I view sites driven by my server on my laptop I don't get 500.100 errors.

Any pointers will be gratefully appreciated.

Typical, fixed it just afte rposting!

The custom error message in IIS is the 'The page cannot be displayed' blah blah rubbish! If you click the 'Set to default' button for it then it displays the error messages in the browser as normal.

Daft!
