just make sure that Response.Buffer=True is the very first line in your ASP page, for example:
<% Response.Buffer=True Response.Write "processing..." Response.Flush 'connection string 'database stuff 'everything else 'close everything Response.Write "complete." Response.Flush %> ...are you POSTing to this page? It may work much better if you use the GET method.
