Web Server Not Running

I am 100% new to this and have had no schooling...

I am trying to open the ASP.Net Web Application in Visual Studio .NET and when I do I am getting the error message that states "Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services.

What does that mean & how do I fix it. I would like to attempt to program some websites using ASP.NET, but can't get past this point...

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide

Do you have IIS5 or above, and did you install the .NET framework on the
web server (better yet, the Web Applications options)? If not, VS.NET
is saying you can't run ASP.NET.

The latter problem should be an installation option in your VS.NET
setup. Go into the custom setup options (in the installer) and make
sure the web applications is checked to be installed.
