Ok, I'm stuck.  Yes, I'm fairly new to this but I thought I had a better
understand of how things work.  So I need some help, please!

I'm setting up a test box to use while modifying a dll that runs our home
page.  It's a XP Pro box, IIS 5, with ASP.Net 1.1 installed.  Same setup I
used when originally creating the site and dll.  The drive has been
reformatted since then, however, as I mentioned all the necessary pieces
seem to be installed.

When I try to browse to the home page I get the following error....

 The XML page cannot be displayed
 Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource
'http://libsys-test/'. Line 1, Position 2

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1"
%>
-^

The first few lines of my page follows....

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1"
%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="LibCTRL" TagName="NewsFeed"
Src="_includes/newsfeed.ascx" %>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I remove my first two lines and the registered custom control located in the
middle of the page.  When I try browsing again I get the following error...

 The XML page cannot be displayed
 Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'link'. Error processing
resource 'http://localhost/'. Line 12, Position 3

</head>
--^

So I remove my third line....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

And now I can actually browse to my page.  However, it appears that none of
my #include instructions are working (<!--#include
file="_includes/footer.htm" -->).  No footer appears on my page.

Yes, this page and directory structure works correctly on our main server.
It's like any kind of ASP.Net or server processing isn't happening.

Any ideas?  Am I overlooking something simple.  I have reinstlled the 1.1
update.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!
