Greg,
1. You have tried restarting httpd and the asp engine, right??

2. You could also check your httpd.conf file to see if asp is enabled in the global section.
Globally would mean all directives that are outside of the <VirtualHost> directive. Is asp working on other sites it is not supposed to??
