asp.net "invalid file name for monitoring"

I am trying to run asp.net pages. The server is accessed
via http://sitename/username

I have verified it is using port 80 and aspx extensions
are configured. But when I run and asp.net page I get the
following error:

Invalid file name for monitoring: 'E:'. File names for
monitoring must have absolute paths, and no wildcards.

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.
