Just as a reply to myself in case anybody is interested. I installed
D2005 Personal on my office machine just to see if I would have the same
problem with ASP .NET. This time, I carefully read the message
displayed in the installation package and uninstalled .NET completely,
installed the IIS package, reinstalled .NET and the SDK, updated
everything via Windows update, and installed D2005 Personal. This time,
when I started up an ASP .NET project, there was no blue screen. I
still need to figure out what caused this on my home PC but apparently
it was something about my Windows configuration. I will do the
uninstall/reinstall .NET/IIS and see if that fixes things.

I suspect that a significant proportion (not all, of course) of the
problems observed by various people with D2005 are related to something
particular to their Windows setup. Otherwise, why would there be so
many "...dunno, it works great for me" responses. That is the still the
biggest problem with the whole MS Windows thing - there are probably no
two PC's on this planet (I don't know about the versions of Windows they
sell on other planets) that are completely identical in configuration,
what with all of the different hardware, drivers, bioses, etc, even if
you don't install anything but the O/S. Makes the job of tech support
people really fun and poor Borland gets the entire blame for putting out
'shoddy' software.
