PHP files not loading- html loading fine from the same folder!?

[Prince Of Thieves]

I have IIS installed on a Win2000 Server SP4 platform. I have installed PHP
V4.3.3 and phpBB forum pages. All is running fine except for one slight
problem.

When I browse to the forum ([url]www.nhds.com/forums/index.php[/url]), I get a server
login dialog asking me for my username and password (which is my server
account details). I can not find a way to get rid of this dialog as it seems
to be php-related....

Another thing I've noticed. I have placed the file "index2.html" in the
folder:

[url]http://www.nhds.com/forums[/url]

And when loaded by a browser, it loads fine. I placed a test link on this
page (the string at the bottom of the page "Please e-mail questions and
comments to") to load the index.php file.

The HTML file loads fine but the PHP file says:

You are not authorized to view this page

Why is this happening????

I've seen this error before with CGI and IIS and it's down to insufficient
rights for the INET_USR(sp?) on the Windows platform. If you Google for the
CGI Misbehaved Errors problem you'll find the answer I imagine.
