fso.GetFolder() holds IIS from responding

[Ajak]

Hi,

I'm developing an ASP page on Win XP (IIS 5.1) which uses the the GetFolder
method as below:-

Set f = fso.GetFolder(fsDir)

But everytime this line executes (when stepping in debugging mode), it stays
there forever. Restarting the browser/IIS webserver does not terminate the
process. Subsequent access to the webserver (other working page!) does not
get any reply/response from the webserver. Have to restart the PC to get the
webserver working again.

Other object returning FSO method such as GetFile also produce this kind of
behavior. But ordinary methods such as FolderExists works OK. Haven't tried
the OpenTextFile method which returns a TextStream object cos I'm tired of
restarting my PC.

Has any of you experienced this kind of behavior? Please help...
