    Can not run Windows SharePoint Services on the Page

    There are different possible reasons for this error.

    1.

    • Open Central Administration -> Application Management -> Authentication Providers. Make sure you select the correct Web Application which is giving you the error.
    • Turn off Enable Client Integration (NO) then go back and Turn on Enable Client Integration (YES).
    • Then do an  IISRESET and try to upload multiple documents.

    It is normally not advisable to edit upload.aspx file in the layouts folder but there may be cases when you have to edit this file. One thing which you should keep in mind is updates like Service Pack will overwrite thee files so try the following.

    Steps

    1.     Backup upload.aspx and then Open upload.aspx and search for

      On top of the recommendation you listed, I also found that some special characters are not welcome when uploading multiple files. You can do them when you upload individual files but not multiple. I can not for the life of me remember what character was causing it for us.
