I can't start FrontPage 2002 ... keeps generating the dreaded pro.

[parnote]

I just had to re-install FrontPage 2002 ... after the new feature in XP SP2
caused my entire computer to lock up, forcing me to completely reinstall
WinXP from CD. Now, when I try to start FrontPage 2002, it says it's
"installing a FrontPage feature" and consistently displays the "program
encountered an error" dialog box near the end of the "installation" of the
"FrontPage feature." It then tries to do it's "thing" in FrontPage
"safe-mode," when the exact same thing happens. It THEN tries to go into some
"diagnosis & repair" mode to correct the problem, but then the exact same
thing keeps happening over and over and over and over ... Does anyone have
any insight into this problem? Before the SP2 "feature" forced me to
re-install XP, FrontPage 2002 was up and running beautifully. Please respond
to (e-mail address removed), and preface the subject line with FrontPage so your
response doesn't get lost in the mountains of spam.

Thanks in advance!

Do a Repair or reinstall of FP from Control panel
- make sure all AV software is disabled when you do
Then go to office updates and get all the SP for FP2002
