How do you know this? Prove it.
Have you done the following?
- Run: NET START W3SVC -- and it should report that IIS is running
- Run NETSTAT -ANO -- and see if anything is listening on 0.0.0.0:80
- If you are using an ISP for internet access, make sure they are not
blocking port 80 access (some ISPs change your browser to go through their
proxy servers, which block port 80, and so even though you give "localhost",
it still fails).
- If you are running Security/Anti-virus software, make sure they are not
blocking port 80.
- Finally, make a request to port 80 for a request and see if it is logged
in %SYSTEMROOT%\LogFiles\W3SVC1\*.log -- if the request is not in the log
file, then IIS never got the request, so something external to IIS is
blocking access, and you'll need to figure it out.
There are MANY, MANY ways to prevent access to port 80, not all of them
obvious. And reformatting may not fix them all -- for example, if your ISP
blocks port 80 and forces you to go through their proxy for internet access,
you still can't access port 80 even after you reformat and reinstall their
software.

That is correct. I have found this issue on two other web forums but no
solution. I think in both cases they were forced to reformat their hard
drive. Here is one:

I have even repaired the operating system and still IIS does not work.
It seems my only option is to reformat my hard drive. :(
