coldfusion page display

Hello

My IIS 5.0 server is displaying the contents of index.cfm (using Coldfusion 5.0) twice (one over the other) between some undefined time after midnight until some time after 11:20 AM local time. It looks like I have the website loaded in two seperate frames.

So far:
I have checked the Coldfusion 5.0 server settings and noticed that the "Missing Template Handler" and "Site-wide Error Handler" are pointing to index.cfm, so this could explain why there are two index.cfm pages displaying BUT ... if I edit index.cfm during this "double display" time (from early morning until 11:20 AM) only the bottom page is updated and the top page remains unaltered.

Furthermore, if I click on any link that exists on the "top" page, the web browser will load the link in the "bottom" page. After ~11:20 AM the page displays correctly until the next day.


Never handled something like this before, and I don't know exactly where to begin. This was not a problem until recently. The application.cfm file looks like:

Code: 
clientmanagement="Yes"
sessionmanagement="Yes"
sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,2,0,0)#"
applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#
 
Quick update:
Server acts normal again if IIS and CF servers are restarted manually. The problem occurs again after 12 hours, and the IIS/CF server needs to be restarted. It's a temporary solution but I want to get to the bottom of this. Starting to suspect that it's the problem is somewhere along the lines of the IIS/CF server and the way the site handles client variables.
 
Sounds like a resource issue. I could be wrong but earlier versions of CF have a ton of memory leak issues. You might want to look into upgrading. Do you have any other sites using this CF server? Bring the applicationtimeout variables down to 8 hours on the sites. Doing this shouldn't effect your applications and should free up resources.
 
Looking forward to upgrade ASAP - starting in January, I don't have to deal with this old software anymore - going to utilize open source technology a lot more for various reasons.
