Validate by file upload

I have been trying unsuccessfully to validate pages on my hard drive by file 
upload.  I keep getting the same message.  I have no idea how to configure 
my browser so it will allow my pages to be validated .  It won't even 
validate pages that I had previously validated using this service. I can 
validate by URL, but I prefer to validate before I upload the file.

I'm using WindowsXP Professional with  Service Pack2 and Internet Explorer 2 
(also with Service Pack 2).

Here is the beginning of the page code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">


<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="description" content="Alexander's Camper Sales in Bloomington, 
Indiana: dealer for CoverMaster truck caps, truck accessories, hitches and 
trailers.">

       <title>Alexander's Camper Sales: Truck Accessories and Hitches, 
CoverMaster Truck Caps and Tonneaus, and Trailers</title>


<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="acs.css">

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="acs.js"></script>

</head>

This is the message I get:

Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its content type is 
text/plain, which is not currently supported by this service.

The Content-Type field is sent by your web server (or web browser if you use 
the file upload interface) and depends on its configuration. Commonly, web 
servers will have a mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME 
Content-Type values (such as text/html).

I can't find any information about how to correct the problem.  Any help 
would be much appreciated.
