FrontPage 2003 Remote website

I must have installed my website foco.org using frontpage 2003 incorrectly on
my new computer, because I cannot create new pages. I can just correct
existing ones and I have to click the "Remote Web site" tab on the bottom
before I can make these changes.

I used to be able to start Frontpage from the "Folders" view, create
whatever I want then save it. It would then make the changes or additions to
my site.

Looking at my "Folder list in the upper left corner it has http://foco.org
which is supposed to be my Remote site not Local, is this my problem?

When I go to create a page using my "Attach Dynamic Web template" the folder
options poo up on the screen for a second and disappears.

I tried to publish from my website to my computer, but it tells me it
cannot, because the local and the remote cannot be the same.

I tried renaming the local, but the option is grey so I can't select it. I
also tried to remove Frontpage totally, but that is not working either.
 
Open FrontPage
If a website opens, use File->Close Site to close it.
Now use File->New
In the task pane choose More web site templates
Choose Empty web site and type in where you want the site - say
c:\mywebs\foco
Click OK and the website will be created.

Click the Remote Web site tab at the bottom of the main panel
Click Remote Web Site Properties
Select FrontPage or SharePoint Services (if foco.org has FrontPage
extensions)
In the remote web site location box type http://foco.org
Click OK
Enter credentials for the web site (username and password) - click OK
At bottom right , select Remote to Local
Click Publish Web Site

You now have a copy of your website on your PC.
When you open this copy, make sure you open the site located at
c:\mywebs\foco (or wherever you created the site).

This indicates that you have opened the remote site

You cannot publish from one site to the SAME site - remember you have opened
the remote site already and have edited it.

I tried renaming the local, but the option is grey so I can't select it. I
also tried to remove Frontpage totally, but that is not working either.

FrontPage extensions? or uninstall the program? Neither will help in this
case.
