i am calling a COM object function from an aspx page.
the COM has a simple function which calls the shellexecute winapi function to start a application on the server.

everything works fine on the machine i developed the COM and the aspx(except perhaps the fact that the called application does not display correctly .. but this is another question)

i tried to move the application to another machine, not on the one i developed the COM and the aspx pages and the aspnet process gets the CPU to 100% usage and nothing happens.

the problem is NOT the shellexecute function, because i put another function in the COM which simply returns a integer. the same thing happens.

the COM functions run perfectly when called form a .NET application (not aspx), also on the second machine.

COM is written in VC6.
IIS 5.1
WINXP Proffesional

thanks in advance,
