Windows XP Sp3 & IE8 -- Error Opening .asp page on a local machine

Hi,

I have Windows XP SP3 with IE8. I have an application which saves .asp pages from the server to a local machine. These local files are then utilized to open the application in a cached mode when the network is down.

With IE8, I found that .asp local page doesn't render the web page and displays the code instead.

I tried with a very simple "hello world" html content but saving it as a .asp file and I could replicate the issue.

This used to work fine with IE6.

Anyone has an idea if there is an issue with IE8?

Thanks,
