FP98 and WinXP

[julia somer]

Hi, are there any problems using FP98 on WinXP home?? I
have upgraded to WinXP home and installed FP98 and cannot
create a web .. where it asks for name it has in greyed
out area below box

'http://julia/myweb'

and I get error message
The server "julia" timed out .....

I cannot seem to create a new web at all, a one page,
using the wizard and templates or whatever, as it always
gives the http:// etc and wont let me choose

Cant I use FP98 on WinXP??

Thanks

FP98 was designed to be used with a web server on the local machine, and Windows XP Home doesn't
support any MS web server or FP extensions. If you want to continue to use FP98, you will need to
upgrade to Windows XP Pro. Otherwise you need to upgrade to FP2003 or if you can find used copies of
FP2000 or FP2002.

FP98 requires the Personal Web Server, which Windows XP does not support. Therefore you can not
make local server based webs with it, but only disk based webs. C:\myweb

You may need to uninstall FP98 and then reinstall doing a custom install and do *not* let it install
PWS.
