try giving "Execute" access to your <Home> / Root Folder!

Don't just open the file in your browser! ASP is processed on the server (IIS).

Listen to Umair. Make sure you have execute and/or script privilages set for the directory you want to run the page from.

1. Open Personal Web Manager, either from the task bar
OR
From "Start" Menu > Programs > Accessories > Internet Tools > Personal Web Server >> Personal Web Manager.

2. In the left-bar, click Advanced button.

3. In tree-view listing the "Virtual Directories",
double click "<Home>"

4. Enter the name of directory, and put a tick against "Execute".

5. Click OK!

6. Make sure you tick "Enable Default Document"

7. type: "Default.htm, Default.asp" in the Default Document(s) textfield.

8. You're done!

thank you! but I dont have personal web manager,
I can only open PWS from front page, and I have the server administrator, but I dont have the personal webmanager, and there is nothing even relevant to PWS in my task bar :(

PWS can be found in the Windows 98 Installation CD:
d:\add-ons\pws\

OR

You can get it from Microsoft's site.

I have personal web server,
I just cant access personal web manager, I go under startmenu|programfiles|acesories|internet| and there is no personal web server folder..
I can use personal webserver, but I have to start it by opening a new web folder in frontpage...

Dennis, are you sure that you have Personal Webserver installed? You may just be running the Frontpage webserver.

C:\windows\option

maybe try to look at this directory

C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\PWS\Setup.exe
Hope u can get it.

:o Mac :)

that could be it, I may be just running front page web server.
I'll try setting up the personal web server when I have time.

I had to reformat my computer due to a totaly unrelated problem, but I went to c:\windows\options\cabs\pws\setup.exe and it worked :)
thank you all for all the help you gave me :D
