There's a few causes of this, including a corrupt IIS metabase (which basically means you need to remove the \inetsrv folder from your PC and reinstall IIS).

Most likely is that you have more than 10 connections open to your local IIS at one time. To support more you'll need to use a server operating system such as Windows Server 2003.
