Installed PHP, now other pages on localhost do not work

I installed PHP manually on my windows XP SP3 machine running IIS 5.1. I went through all the documented installation steps and finally got a simple PHP page working.

I then checked some of my other web pages on localhost using a browser, and they do not display properly. For some reason the HTML is showing, but any ASP or includes or linked style sheets are not being read. I checked the permissions on these files and noticed that all permissions on all files in my directory had been reset to not allow read permissions for IUSR. I reset all these permissions to allow full permission, but still did not work.

I fixed this by uninstalling PHP, and IIS, and then reinstalling IIS. But now I don't have PHP.

I would like to be able to develop both PHP and other types of pages on my localhost. What could be the problem here? Why did all the permissions reset? Can you not run PHP concurrently with other types of pages?
Thanks.
