Can't Open FrontPage 2000

[Tom Brown]

Just overnight my wife can't open her FrontPage 2000 (running on XP).
Her other programs all open fine. FrontPage initial blank page
appears, her hard drive grinds for a few minutes, then this error
message appears:

"Ran out of memory while trying to allocate 0 bytes."

Any idea what's suddenly causing this?

Thanks,
Tom

Probably a corrupt .web file, or cmdui.prf

Find and delete all *.web files, usually in
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
(type or paste this into the Address bar in Windows Explorer)
These files will be recreated as and when FP requires them.

If FrontPage fails to open, then find and delete cmdui.prf, usually in
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State

Deleting this file will remove all toolbar and menu customisations, it will
be recreated when FP opens, with the default toolbars and menu options.

Also delete all FP temporary files, usually in
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\FrontPagetempDir

FYI
You can also use the environment variable
%APPDATA%
for
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\
