problem with opening ASPX files

it's been a while that i'm encountering a problem while surfing the web. Opera tries to download ASPX files instead of opening them.

i searched the MIME list in Preferences > Advanced > Downloads but there's nothing for this file type. changing the [File Types] section in "opera6.ini" file to [~File Types] didn't help also.
uninstalling Opera, deleting the profile directory and reinstalling it didn't change anything. faint

TIA,

I have the same problem in 9.62

As i understood it does not affect all .aspx pages for example http://www.24hgold.com/english/gold_silver_prices_charts.aspx opens perfectly. The problem seemes to be when you leave a reply on a forum and the posting script looks like ....&post.aspx

I was able to access http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/default.aspx on Opera 9.62 and if you want Opera to open up a file, just hit the Open button on the Download dialog box.

It is no problem to open such pages. The problem take place while posting in forums.
