Author asp pages not running on xp pro localhost

I have a desktop with XP Pro that happily runs my ASP pages via localhost
and a laptop also with XP Pro that won't. A very simple web page without
any ASP in it will run as page.htm but not as page.asp; XP Pro is running
IIS 5; all windows updates are up to date. Pages simply displays Server
Application Error message

I don't even know where to go to find more diagnostics (friendly messages is
already switched off)

Any help appreciated

What does the system event log tell you?

Might this help? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/297519

There is nothing on the event logs when this happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks

XP 64 bit? (Set IIS to 64 bit as well) Firewall? Security software?
Site not set to execute scripts? And of course, your first stop:
