Hi Dudes,

Installed Win 2008 server and IIS7. Enabled ASP Classic and ASP.NET on it. Can't get any ASP scripts to run

e.g. desperate.asp containing following line:

<% Response.Write "Hello Love, Fancy a Date?" %>

It just comes up with a "FILE DOWNLOAD - SECURITY WARNING" panel asking em to download. When I select anything it keeps looping. Found lots fo stuff on internet but nothing working.

Also same for other ASP scripts

HTML works no problem e.g. a file called reply.html containing:

Get lost little boy. We only serve French Fries in Macdonalds

Any ideas?
