I'm in the Admin Options and when I click Email Server Configuration I am prompted agin for the Admin username and password. When I enter the Admin username and password I am prompted again for the username and password each time. Any idea why.

Can you post your admin_config_email.asp as a text file or replace it with an unmodified one from the Snitz zip ?

I copied the admin_config_email.asp file from the Snitz zip to overwrite the original. I restarted the web site in IIS then logged on to the forum as Admin. I clicked on the email configuration. It then prompts me for the username and password then logs me in successfully which brings me back to the root of the Admin section. I click email configuration again only to be prompted again for username and password at this address: http://forum/admin_login.asp?target=admin_config_email.asp.
I see a system warning in the Windows logs for each event.
A process serving application pool 'Forum' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '1748'. The data field contains the error number.

Do you get a list of installed email components when you finally get to view the page?
Do you get the problem if you comment out these lines of code from lines 188-194?
Code:
	for i=0 to UBound(theComponent)
if IsObjInstalled(theComponent(i)) then
Response.Write " <option value=""" & theComponentValue(i) & """" & chkSelect(strMailMode,theComponentValue(i)) & ">" & theComponentName(i) & "</option>" & vbNewline
else
j = j + 1
end if
next

Well I did comment out those lines then I was able to get into the email config page. Not sure what this code actually does. Can you elaborate?

The Select E-Mail Component: dropdown list is empty. How can I add the type of email server in the asp file?

Its the only code that I could think of in that page that did something "different" than the other pages. It checks to see if email components are installed on the server. There is obviously an issue with your installation of Windows 2008R2 server / IIS 7.5. I'm actually on the same setup and don't have your problem.
Is email working on your forum?

I have CDO installed on that server but forum email is not working. What email components do you have installed on your Windows 2008R2 server?

I have aspemail (paid version). Do you have an smtp server installed or does your host handle email?

Actually i am pointing to the SMPTP server in my company. The E-mail Server Address: pints to the FQDN of the SMTP server.
There is nothing in the list under "Select Email Component:"
