So what this means essentually is that they are server side pages. This means they need to be proccessed on the server. So you have 2 options really. If you are running Windows XP Professional you can install IIS. Just google how to install IIS on windows xp. Your other option is to ftp or upload that file to a remote server that has iis on it. If you rent server space you will need to ask your host about this. ASPX is the newer ASP.NET version of active server pages. I think this also requires that the user has .net framework installed for non web apps like .exe files. this is a whole other story however. Hope that helps, if not email me back. Before you try anything you should think about doing a free scan for .asp related registry errors. This will ensure your computer is ready to precede. |
