Try unininstalling FP, and reinstalling. Before you install FP, make sure
your computer is clear of all malware and viruses.
Be sure to disable your anti-virus program (auto-protect) *before*
uninstalling and do not re-enable it until after you reinstall it.
If you had the anti-virus running, you may have corrupted the install.
If all else fails, contact MS directly for support.
I understand your frustration, but countless other people have successfully
installed and run FrontPage. Ranting will only make you more frustrated.

| Look I have Microsoft XP Professional Updates everyday and I got the
patches
| for FrontPage 2003 when I installed the program - I deleted the Temporary
| Files for FrontPage 2003 from Temp. Internet from IE 6.0. I haven't used
a
| Server yet I just got program and learning it. I am not at the point or
with
| a Hosting Site yet. There were no Add-in in the FrontPage 2003. I have
| Norton and McAfee that have live updates and two firewalls - so this
Computer
| is very protected - it is the program I am sure. I also have Dell Live
| Support that make sure my other software and hardware are compatible or
tell
| me when I have to make updates.
|
| I guess I have to try another forum if this one cannot help. I was warned
| about FrontPage 2003 and told other Website Design software programs were
| better and see that the warning was justified for Microsoft isn't
providing
| support through error message either. Microsoft is going to get a bad rep
| soon if they cannot fix their own problems or provide support - they are
not
| a monopoly in the field and getting lots competition everyday. It is bad
| business to not help there customers who bought their products.
|
| I appreciate his suggestion - it just didn't work. That is why I asked
if
| anyone else might have a different approach that could solve the problem.
|
| But if there isn't any - I try some other forums.
|
| Again If Microsoft cannot find ways to help their customers - they will
get
| a bad rep - rap and lose them to the growing competition.
