ok, the readme said to configure my script like this, so i did:
'#################################################################################
on error resume next
Session.LCID = 1033 '## Do Not Edit
Response.Buffer = true
dim strDBType, strConnString, strTablePrefix, strMemberTablePrefix '## Do Not Edit
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\forum.snitz.com\snitz_forum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
'#################################################################################
'## Do Not Edit Below This Line - It could destroy your forums and lose data
'#################################################################################
but then after its configured, what do i do??? i'm stuck (like the newbie i am!) where do i set it up? where do i change the color scheme?

ah think i know how to answer this one
umm setting looks Ok using acess umm if you can see your forum and everything is ok then go to yourpage.com/forum/admin_home.asp
and your default login is user name is admin and password is Admin
there u can change everything
*note* you might need to change the name of your database and admin password even though you can not delete the admin but change the default password

not a browser problem
think you did not set up your forum properly
think you might need expert or someone who know about asp

ummm check the hosting forum and umm there's lot of hosting services there and people to help you choose a better one

No, ANgelfire doesn't support ASP files. You can go here to find a few free hosting providers that support ASP.

You know, if you pay a few dollars you can get a real ISP that provides support for ASP and also has an email component on the Server so you can configure that also.
I'm quite amused by all the people that want something free and something good all at the same time.
