Can I run ASP.VBSCRIPT on Apache 2.2.8?

I'm a beginner learning web design using Dreamweaver MX and start dealing with database and recordset. I was told that I need a web server in order for me to test my work, so I've downloaded and installed Apache HTTP Server for Windows 2.2.8 because my WinXP Home doesn't have IIS. It seems alright at first but when I try to preview my work (with some simple recordset made) on the browser, it asks me to download the .asp file and re-open it on Dreamweaver instead of showing it on the browser. So does this mean that my Apache server cannot run ASP.VBSCRIPT? What should I do then? Someone told me to install an asp mode into Apache but I really don't know how to do it? Please help..
