Personal web server will not start and the above error message is in the
event log.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling personal web server to no avail.

I have tried searching the MSDN and Microsoft's web site and found nothing
usefull. Has anyone any clues on what I can do to fix this short of wiping
and reinstalling from scratch.

I just had the same error -- anybody found a way around this?

Okay, so you won't want to do this if you're on the open internet, but, if
you're on an intranet, behind a safe firewall, try this:

set your IWAM and IUSR accounts to administrator privelages.
