I think it is probably the result of an update.

You did these, I assume.

If you've also downloaded the latest scripting engine and it still doesn't
work, try changing the default language to another one (say JScript), stop
and start service, then change it back again. (see
http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?joel.3.220484.2) Also try
setting the NTFS permissions on the virtual directory again - very
carefully with reference to the MS article on IIS permissions, which I don't
have handy. But see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q271071. Don't let
FP server extns mess with your permissions.

Also check
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\ASP\LanguageEngines\LanguageNam
e for any weirdness. (see also
http://www.dacor.net/ASPDocs/guide/asgreg.htm)

You might have to give IUSR read permissions to HKCR\classes. You can run
regmon and filemon from sysinternals to see what key or file it is failing
on.
