Hyperlinks don't function

[JP]

My computer suddenly quit following hyperlinks on the
websites that are on my C drive. I bring up the index
file, set it to preview, click the buttons and nothing. I
burned the websites onto a CD and tried them on another
computer and the hyperlinks function fine. I upload the
website to the internet provider server and the
hyperlinks function fine. Is there a switch on my PC
that is in the wrong position. We reformatted both
drives and reloaded everything and that did not fix the
problem. Is there hardware on the system that recognizes
the hyperlinks that could be defective? I'm at my wits
end. Other than that problem, everything functions well.

Thanks for any suggestions! I am on a standalone Windows
XP home PC.

A recent IE patch (813489) broke FrontPage Preview Mode functionality. It did so on purpose for security reasons and there is now a workaround for this behavior.

The reason the patch broke FrontPage preview is because IE implemented a function in their code to prohibit browsing across zones.

There's a registry key that will instruct IE to allow listed applications to browse across zones. FrontPage is not part of that registry key.

You can enter it manually and get the Preview Mode to work again.

Add the DWORD value FrontPG.exe to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility.

Set the value to 1.

There will be a KB article posted shortly.
