MOSS 2007 "File Not Found" error

Hi - -

When I hit any page under _layouts, I get a page which reads "File Not
Found".  In the Event Log, I have the following:

Load control template file /_controltemplates/UserFieldEditor.ascx
failed: Could not load the assembly
'Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages'. Make sure that it is compiled
before accessing the page.

There a a bunch like that.  Then I have this:

Error: Failure in loading assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal,
Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c

Which seems odd given that I'm using 2007.  Can anyone shed some light
on this?  Thanks.

we have the same problem, do you have the fix

Did you use the ASP.NET "Edit Configuration" tool in inetmgr?

Did you use the ASP.NET "Edit Configuration" tool in inetmgr?  I did
and got this same problem.  I think it is trashing the web.config,
because when I copy a "clean" web.config from another site (inetpub\wss
\someothersite) then it works again

It seems that when you modify the web.config with the IIS tool, it
adds an attribute (xmlns) to the <configuration> tag like so:
v2.0">.
