Frontpage automation error

[JacquieCC]

Hi there,
I do hope someone can help me- I have been having problems with Frontpage -
I use two add ins from Jimco - Spawn and anotheer one which I have not yet
used - for hotspots. I use the Sapwn add in a lot but after a while it
dissapears from the right click menu and then when I try to use it I get a
message saying there is an automation error and Jimco Spawn just won't work.
I have to turn the computer off - scan it with Mcaffe, Spybot, Adware then it
seems to work. I don't trawl the internet except for news/weather so don't
think I pick up anything from there. My frontpage also keeps loading up a
previous version of the website I am constructing which does not even exist
in my web site folder in documents - it is ages old and I don't know where it
is picking this up from. However the automation error for Jimco spawn, the
loading of an old website are all connected in some way. I have tried
repairing Frontpage from my 2003 disc but this does not resolve the problem.
I close the site and open it again by browsing to the documentts folder - the
older version still comes up. Please help me to sort this problem out,
with advance thanks,
JacquieCC

1. Clear your browser temporary internet and history files.

2. Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and download FP
Cleaner.
Download links are at the bottom of the page.
Run the functions that clear:
The FrontPage Temporary files.
The Cache (*.web) files.

See if it helps.

Thanks Steve - this has helped quite a lot - however occasionally the Spawn
ad in just won't go still - it must be connected to some action I perform -
an error box pops up saying that spawn has not loaded - I then turn the
computere off - turn it on again and hey presto it is there. should I
uninstall all the Jimco addins and reinstall them - when I look in programmes
I have a jimco folder with 1 file in it then all the addins then have their
own folder - would this be right?

thanks for the below help though - it worked a treat,
