The hosting server has ASPUpload 3.0 installed. In Admin end, I picked Persits ASPUpload as upload components. When I tried to upload a file in the upload pop-up window, the next page showed "The page cannot be displayed". Am I missing some files?
Thanks for any tips!

It's more likely a 500 Internal server error. If you turn off friendly HTTP error messagesin IE you will get an accurate error message which should help locate the problem.
However, I can tell you that most upload issues are permissions related. Make sure that the upload folder has read, write, and modify permissions on it.

Thanks for the info, boRg! I have the "uploads" folder permission modified to web, read and write. When I tried to upload again, the error message is "The system cannot find the file specified. /forum/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 125". This points to ".SaveVirtual strFileUploadPath" in the code. Is there anything I can do or I should contact host server to do some change?
Thanks!

This is an AspUpload error, so the AspUpload documentation may give a clearer anwser, but looking at the issue it looks like your web host may have disabled the SaveVirtual method. You should contact your web host to find out.
The SaveVirtual method is required so that the upload can first be saved to the servers memory so that it can be checked for file type, file size, filtered for malicious code, chekc the file doesn't already exist, etc. before it is saved to disk. Without it uploads would be very insecure with no control over them.
