I'm just in Chap2 of the book, and try to check my configuration with the 

file "testsailor.asp".

This will not work either with PWS or when I just click on the file name.

IE then display the same window as the one it displays to download a file, 

offering the choice between displaying the file or saving it on disks. I 

choose to display the file, but then IE5 shuts down.

I made the same test with different .asp files, and IE5 behavior is the 

same.

I also checked, as advised onn page 55, that IE5 is actually assigned to 

.asp file, and this is the case.



I'm running a DELL Latitude XPi, under Win95.



Did anybody get in the same trouble?

What could be a solution?



Thank's in advance for your help.



Philippe.

How are you accessing the file? Like this:



file://c:/somefolder/somepage.asp or like this

http://localhost/somepage.asp?



The latter method will work - the former method will not.



Also, open your PWS Manager and check to make sure that the directory that

you have put the files in (within your webroot) has scripting permissions

enabled.

Ken,



Thank's for your answer.

In fact I found the solution by making so that no application is assigned 

to .asp file.(by comparing using the same config. than a pc that works).

And it works.
