How to Fix an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error in Vista

An HTTP 500 error is a general error meaning your Internet browser cannot recover the needed information from the web server. While this problem is normally not a client-side issue, it becomes one when the internal server in Windows Vista generates the error. In the case, your only recourse is to reinstall the server files by repairing your operating system.
