FIX: ASP.NET Worker Process Does Not Start on Computers with the /3GB Boot Switch
This article was previously published under Q320353
If you have the /3GB boot switch enabled, the ASP.NET
worker process (Aspnet_wp.exe) does not start. If you request an ASP.NET page, you receive one of the following error messages in the browser:
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
-or-
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine
failed
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft .NET Framework. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

After applying the fix, add an environment variable named
ASPNETENABLE3GB and set the value to
1 to start the ASP.NET worker process. Otherwise, the problem that
is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section still occurs. Although the ASP.NET
Worker Process will now run on a computer with the 3GB switch enabled, ASP.NET
does not utilize the extra memory.
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
This problem was first corrected in the Microsoft .NET Framework Service Pack 2.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're

edits), please consult a professional.
