IIS and ASP

Can somebody help out. I have tried running my asp pages
on IIS here on my windows xp system

Just upgraded from window-98 where I was using Personal
Web Web Server. My asp pages were executing ok.

Now I understand you have to use IIS in windows XP.

When I type in : HTTP://localhost/index.html, this page
works okay

When I try a simple script like :
<% response.write "Hello Page" %>

which is in file test.asp, I run this:
HTTP://localhost/test.asp.

I get the following message from either IE 6.or Netscape:

Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an
application during the processing of your request. Please
refer to the event log for more detail information. Please
contact the server administrator for
assistance.


I look at the log file and it display this message:

13:07:15 66.185.85.76 GET /harry/test.asp 500
13:07:23 66.185.85.76 GET /test.asp 500

What have I done wrong? I have the following settings in
my default web site:

Give access for scripting and writing.
I have installed Frontpage2002 extensions:

I really need to do some asp scripting and I am at a lost.

I cannot install Personal Web Sever since Windows XP does
not support it


Any HELP would be appreciated
