I have determined that some of the problems I have been having are a result
of run Windows 2000 Beta3 with only 64m of RAM. I now have shutdown several
of my processes which has resulted in a temporary fix. I have made the
changes to my registry, and entered the appropriate setting in IIS. My HTML
form ACTION call continues to only display the .r script and not run it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have received email from at least one
other person stating that he had the same trouble.
Thanks to Scott, Andrew, and the rest of you,
Mike
