Problem With ActiveX MSXML2 Transformations

I am using a FreeThreadedDOMDocument as the xsl
object, DOM Document as the XML object, and
XSLTemplate to transform, in ASP.

Although I get the HTML returned I get the following
characters before hand 
ÿþ
and when i view source the returned HTML has a space
betwen each letter, e.g.
< t a b l e   w i d t h = " 1 0 0 % "   c e l l p a d
d i n g = " 0 "   c e l l s p a c i n g = " 1 "   h e
i g h t = " 1 6 " >
....

Does anyone know why, and how I can stop it?
