Web sites cannot be started unless the World Wide Web Publishing Service is running

When you try to start IIS and you receive the following message:













The error message makes no sense and the problem may not be what you think.

The reason I received this message is because I am using Skype and Skype is keeping W3SVC from running.

The solution: Close Skype; start IIS and restart Skype.
