I have started IIS on PC with Windows 7 Professional, including ASP, Request Filtering, and ISAPI exxtensions.

However, when I try to open an .asp file i get a download request and the page never opens in the browser.

What am I doing wrong - or what is it that I have not done yet.

Note: It has been 8 years since I successfully programming courses in HTML, ASP and ColdFusion

No I have not.

I am trying to run only ASP Classic web pages.

I have attached a word document that shows the script that was used as indicated from "
I have also included this sample classic .asp page that produces the download request as shown in my earlier response:

<%@ LANGUAGE = "VBSCRIPT" %>
<% OPTION EXPLICIT %>

<html>
<title></title>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyles.css">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#008080">

<div align="center">
<table width="600">
<tr>
<!-- #Include virtual="nwind/common/header.asp" -->
</tr>

<tr>
<td valign="middle">
<!-- #Include virtual="nwind/common/navigate.asp" -->
</td>
<td width="450" valign="top">
INSERT HERE
<!-- #Include virtual="nwind/common/footer.asp" -->


</td>
</tr>



</table>
</div>

</body>
</html>
