I think 'PWS' is what it was called in 'the good old days'.
Anyway....
ASP can be run on Windows XP Pro by installing IIS (Internet Information Services) from Add/Remove Programs -> Windows Components in the controlpanel.
After the installation is complete a new directory called "Inetpub" has been created on the harddisk where Windows is installed.
Place your asp files in the "\Inetpub\wwwroot\" directory, and view it in your IE by pointing it to url: "localhost/your-file-name.asp".
IIS CANNOT be installed on Windows XP Home Edition.
