I'm having problems getting my executables to run in IIS 5.1.  I have moved
my website from a Windows 2K server platform(where everthing runs perfectly)
to a PC running XP Pro.  I have set up the website with the exact same
parameters as before and enabled scripts and executables for the scripts
directory.  Have unistalled everything and started from scratch and still get
the same error "Page cannot be displayed"   Any ideas?

Turn off friendly error messages in IE so we can get a better message ...
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced.

Done.  Now I get an "Internal Application Error"
Disc or Network Error
-----------------------------------------
/Login

This is the initial login page for an application written in C++ that reads
and writes to a database.  However, There is another app having a problem
that gets the following error:

Internal Application Error
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/Find

That indicates that you're not able to use the ODBC connection to the
database because the database provider you have set isn't configured.
Check the ODBC connection (Or OLEDB, though I've never had this error
using OLEDB) to the database
