I have an ASP 3.0 application that runs on IIS 5.0 / Windows 2000 Server SP4 with all critical updates installed. Recently during a peak usage time the application became unavailable and the server displayed the following message: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '8007000e' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Memory allocation failure /main.asp line 117 In the Event log I found the following being logged repeatedly for at least 36 prior to the incident: Unable to query the W3SVC (HTTP) service performance data. The error code returned by the service is data DWORD 0. (Data is 0x00000426) How can I determine the cause of this problem?
