Aspimage.dll is a com component written by a company called serverobjects.  As best I can tell they are selling a product but not offering any support for it whatsoever.  As such their support email even bounces.  It just so happens I have several sites under my responsibility that use this component.  What is the issue you ask?  Aspimage has a severe bug that causes it to randomly crash w3wp.exe in windows 2003 (not 2000).  This does nice things like destroying session states and timing out pages among other things.

Currently I am writing a simple wrapper class in ASP classic that uses a much much better component called imageglue.  The end result will be that anyone relying on ASPimage can change one line of code and instantly use imageglue instead.  I have this working pretty well on a test site, but I want to clean it up a bit before I post the code.  I would like to share it though seeing how my hate for aspimage runs deep.  Look for the code in the next week or so hopefully.

Update: Wrapper class is posted here
