>There's GOT to be a way to tell IIS that we're using the 2.0 framework, but I can't find it anywhere. I *know* there's an easy answer for this somewhere out here in UT-land -- anybody got one handy?????

Under IIS, in your Web site properties, there is a tab to select the ASP. I changed them to ASP.NET. I then uninstalled .NET Framework 1.1. Everything was smooth after that. You might also want to adjust that ASP.NET version in your default Web site.
