Its probably because your pages use external links to other servers
(which may take forever to open - if al all) as in
<img src="
http://www.marketingtips.com/images/emailebook.gif" border="0" width="124" height="174">
or
<img src="
http://assets.bravenet.com/cp/guestbook.gif" border="0" title="Free Guestbook from Bravenet.com" alt="Free Guestbook from
Bravenet.com" followed by a lot of "garbage"
Try turning your internet connection on (open IE to a web page), and then opening your local site in FP
or turning off your internet connection , and then opening your local site in FP
Or open the file in note pad and delete all the bravenet code and any external links
| Somehow I got FP to disable "open last web..", but I'm not sure how. I think
| between me and my host deleting things on the FTP and on the server, it said
| there was nothing there to load so it wouldn't. This way I was able to
| disable the open last web option. But now FP will still not open. When I
| click on file/open/... it just hangs there. Doesn't say it's loading or
| anything. It will still open up anything else in FP, just not my site. Last
| time someone had asked for my site, but it wasn't being displayed because of
| an error. I have that fixed so if it helps the URL is
|
http://www.momonabudget.com .
