hijacked FP

r a i n d r u m · Sep 18, 2004

FP 2003 won't run on backup computer (and something seems,
spookily, to forbid download of ftp software to this
backup machine (Win98).

A complication is that the hijacked module (if that's even
the right word) of FrontPage somehow deployed itself in
such a way as to make what had been showing in MSBA as a
standalone into a subordinate network member of who knows
what nest of Nazis.

In short, I'm hoping for a solution for the short run,
maybe some way to download an FP that will run on Win98.
Or do I have to go and buy ANOTHER one??

How to work on the website other than through the sloooow-
as-molasses web interface at bcentralhost. (We -- but not,
it seems, the stalking entity -- are on a dialup, in ISDN
AND land-line-looted Mendocino County.)

I figure I don't dare run any product that ISN'T
Microsoft, for the moment, or for the duration of Election
Fever. (http://DeepEndNews.com; we manifestly have no
privacy, and would welcome benevolent e-assistance, so
there seems to be no reason not to be specific.)

You need to have Windows 2000 OS or above to install FP03.

Guest · Sep 18, 2004

Yes, I realize that the FP03 won't go on this machine; if
you re-read original post, you will see that this is WHY,
not WHAT. That's why I'm asking -- about FP 98, or
whatever. (Until IBM/Microsoft resolves the XP hijacking
issue, which we have a feeling is a lot bigger than it
looks. And that .jpg business; sheesh!)

Do I have to get ANOTHER computer, after just having
gotten the IBM? THAT seems silly, not to mention
expensive. And a new computer wouldn't solve the hijacked
FP id/module, would it?

Thomas A. Rowe · Sep 18, 2004

What do you mean by "XP hijacking issue".

You DO NOT have FP, unless you have purchased FP, even if you see a FP folder under the Program
Folder, which is used by the OS and is not an application to be used by you, the users.

Hijacked FrontPage module???

That's a new one on me. FrontPage installed on a client computer ( desktop ) has no security
issues.

If he's trying to run FP 2003 on a Win 98 machine, that's a problem.
You can't.

Mr. Rowe, you might think about reading more carefully,
before contradicting somebody about a matter of fact. :^)
I certainly DO have FP03; paid a couple of hundred dollars
for it at Staples. I just can't USE it.

My query here is how to ... find a download of FP 98, or
something, while Microsoft/IBM figures out that XP
hijacking deal, which might have been accomplished in some
Group Policy maneuver which is over my head. (Because in
the meantime the XP computer -- the same kind the FBI and
those guys use -- is unusable. It's a long story; and a
big drag. What I'm hoping to find here, if not benevolent
hacker to search out the stalking entity or whatever it
is, is a short-term fix so I can take care of the website.

Nobody is trying to run FP 2003 on Win98. Can you guys not
READ, or what? :^\

Guest · Sep 18, 2004

"Has no security issues"? It does, now! Alas. Maybe it's
the XP factor. Whatever it is, it's a fact. Ask FrontPage
support; ask IBM. This is all too true.

Guess it's just hard to decipher your comments. It's quite apparent you
aren't being clear in your questions/problems.

And, slinging attitutude won't get you much help.

The problem is that no one really is understand what the issues are that you are having with trying
to install FP2003, etc. Just provide clear facts and details that enable someone to try and help
you.

I did not contradict you, I made the statement regard the FP folder under Program files because
there have been folks that have Win XP, etc. and think that they also have FP because of the folder.

There are no legal versions of any MS Office applications, available for downloading

You can search eBay for FP2000 or FP2002, which will both work on Windows 98 and up

How clear does it get? I'm looking for a download source
for FP98. Thanks for your help.

Steve Easton · Sep 18, 2004

Ask FrontPage support.???

Well..................... this is about as close to FrontPage support as it gets.

I personally don't understand what you mean by "Hijacked FP." You can't hijack FrontPage.
An OS or a browser yes, but not FP.

If you could interpret this:
A complication is that the hijacked module (if that's even
the right word) of FrontPage somehow deployed itself in
such a way as to make what had been showing in MSBA as a
standalone into a subordinate network

and this:
(Until IBM/Microsoft resolves the XP hijacking
issue

Maybe someone could help you.
Also obtw, IBM has nothing to do with Windows XP.

It certainly does. XP on IBM machines is packaged by IBM.

Is it? Many of the relevant files, including the Security

Microsoft. :^)

-----
Thank you; this -- and the info that there really ISN'T
any way to download it -- is just what I was hoping to
find out.

I don't think I'll venture onto eBay, which I don't know
anything about, given the situation. But maybe I will get
the software, since it's sure to be a blue moon before the
other one gets straightened out, if it ever does.

One more question, if you can stand it: if I do get FP02,
will IT run on XP, as well as on Win98? (In case the IBM
XP computer ever runs again ...)

Also obtw, IBM has nothing to do with Windows XP.
And XP on Dell machines is packaged by Dell.
They're both done under license from Microsoft, which means they 1 image the system to the hard
drive and 2 burn a recovery copy to a CD.

this is about as close to FrontPage support as it gets

And what does IBM have to do with FrontPage support??

Sounds to me like your machine got whacked by a virus or trojan and you need to run a virus scan.

Oh oh, better make sure I don't have any drinks near the keyboard.
Windows gets really goofy when the keyboard gets wet.
