In my case, this issue was fixed by

• Right click on the application pool
  
• Click Identity Tab
  
• Choose "Configurable"
  
• Set to a domain account & enter password / or any user with administrator rights (you can even use the same user with which you are currently logged in)
  
• Restart IIS
  

 

Usually this error occurs when my domain account password has expired and I don't change it and keep on using the virtual machine (i.e. if my account password expires on 14^th November, and I do not shut down my virtual machine or save its state on 12^th November, then I run the virtual machine from the saved state on 15^th November, so it creates a conflict between the logged in password and the actual password which has been changed on the active directory)

Vista Slow Internet

I resolved mine by reinstalling drivers which were for XP (2006 version) instead of using those which were installed by Vista

“The compiler failed with error code 128”

I received the same error  last week which was resolved after running a disk cleanup on the server, and logging off and logging in.

 

However, today this error would not go with the above mentioned steps, so I performed another search over how to resolve the issue and following are the main findings which I concluded and tried:

 

• run the the aspnet_regiis.exe and it solved my problem. 
  C:\(your windows directory)\Microsoft.NET\Framework\(your version of .net framework)\aspnet_regiis.exe -i 
  
• Go to C:\(your windows directory)\Microsoft.NET\Framework\(your version of .net framework)\Temporary ASP.NET Files and remove your virtual directory from here
  
• Repair .NET framework
  

 

The above two solutions did not work; but finally I was able to resolve the error by:

• Changing the IDENTITY of the Application Pool in which our virtual directory resides from "Network Service" to "Local System"
  

 

I have explained all the possible solutions of removing the error from the system just for your information. In our case the solution was changing identity of the application pool.

 

Here is a link from where I found out this solution:
