IIS Won't open ASP files

I have IIS installed on a 2003 server. I Did pick the ASP
components to install yet when I try to open any page that
has an ASP extension it won't work.

I have tried to open up pages from within Internet
Explorer and it says "This page can not be displayed"

Any hints as to why IIS can't read an ASP file?

Thanks.

a) Check in the IIS MMC Snapin on the server (Web Extensions node) that the
ASP extension is allowed

b) Page cannot be displayed is a generic error message. Please scroll down
further - the real error message is below. If the server cannot be contacted
you will see "Server cannot be found or DNS error". If the server can be
contacted, but is running into a problem, you will see the HTTP status code
returned by the server, eg "404 File Not Found", or "500 Internel Server
Error". If you are getting a 500 error, please turn off "Show Friendly
Errors" in IE's Advanced options tab, and reload the page. Post the complete
error message to the list.

Cheers
Ken
