I granted read and write access to C:\Windows\Temp for the IIS_WPG group. This worked for me. I'm on Server 2003 R2 and IIS 6 and the group name is different. I fount it from http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/140/understanding-built-in-user-and-group-accounts-in-iis/ where it says:

•The IIS_IUSRS built-in group replaces the IIS_WPG group.
