Another FrontPage problem

[Tim Cole]

When I try to open a website created with this same version of FrontPage
(2003) I get this error message:

"There was an error when trying to run FrontPage (Open as HTML). The
command: failed."

All my sites that were fully editable and accessible and were created as FP
websites now give me this error when I try to edit any html pages. I fully
reinstalled FP2003, but I am still unable to open any pages. These were all
working just days ago.
Any ideas?


Thanks to Mary and Tom -- I was able to find my "98" full install disk.

Howdy,

1- This question would be best asked in newsgroup at:
microsoft.public.frontpage.client

2- Download Steve Easton's FPClean:
http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and run it.

If it doesn't work follow up on the other newsgroup, with the same question.

hth,

hmmm... after reading your earlier post I see you upgraded from 98.
Where you working with disc-based webs with 98 or PWS based webs?

Still better to ask about this entire scenario over at the FP newgroup.

No, Steve's FP Repair didn't do anything for me. And neither did the
repair/reinstall.
None of my previously compiled websites can be edited. A month ago all of
them could be. I even copied the files back from an Internet server using
WS/FTP and put them into a new folder. I tried importing them using
FP2003 -- no change.
I installed FP2003 on my laptop and had no problem with any of the sites'
html files -- I could edit them to my heart's content. So, the site files
are not corrupt. FP2003 has no problems on the install disk. There were no
problems indicated during the install or the reinstall.
My environment on the PC where the problem exists: AMD 1800; WinXP, Office
2003 (also just reinstalled and may not have all the patches and service
packs yet), 1 gb ram, 10 gb free on the hd.
On my laptop: Intel 400; WinXP; Office 2000; 256mb ram; 1 gb free on the
hd.
I am really getting desperate, here!
