You need to run Personal Web Server on your machine (http://www.vpasp.com/virtprog/info/faq_pws.htm).

as shmoove said but if this is to be on an intranet site I would use another O/S. WindowsME does not handle memory management very well and will run out of memory and crash way too often.

angst,

mex wants to run asp pages, that requires a "server" to be set up. That is what mex was after....

I think you'll find that's pretty much what you want/need.
