Teamsite asking for authentication at "new form entry" menu

Hi everyone,
When ever i created a new DCR and previewd it, i was getting an error saying:
"You are not authorized to view this page You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.".

-->So i went to IIS manager, then to "Directory Security" in properties of "iw-mount" under default website, edited "authentication and access control", checked "enable anonymous access" and set username to HostName\TSIMP_whatever and checked "Basic authentication(password is sent in clear text)". But now when i open the Teamsite and go to "new form entry" in file menu, Teamsite asks for authentication, in IE as well as Mozilla. (attached the screenshot as Authentication.jpg)..
I referred to the post by nipper:-
http://devnet.interwoven.com/forums_vb/showthread.php?t=21506&forumid=13&highlight=password+request and i have configured my IIS as suggested. (both for default website and iw-mount plus checking "Basic authentication).

-->How can i prevent user from this authentication window being displayed and get the preview functionality working at the same time. Please help me out.. Thanks in advance..

Teamsite 7.1 Windows server 2003

Have you deleted/recreated the TSIMP user and/or reset it's password and then updated IIS with the new password?

Yes i have recreated the TSIMP user and password as well. But that is because, by default the user name was only "TSIMP_whatever" and not "HostName\TSIMP_whatever", so i changed it to "HostName\TSIMP_whatever" and recreated the password..

Also at the time of installation i had set "configure IIS automatically", so if i run the configuration script, tspostreboot.pl now, will it cause any problems/issues with the current Teamsite/Iw-store, or is it safe to run this configuration script now?. Thanks for the help.

I have faced the preview issues, when i was carrying out the fresh installation to my dev and QA servers (TS 6.5 SP3 on windows). I ended up running tspostreboot.pl to fix the issues.

I don't think it should affect to your iw-store in anyway, but not sure if running this script would help you. Resetting the password for the TSIMP user "should" resolve the issue.
