Frontpage client (FP2002) lists files twice?

On computer "A", when we hook up to the site, the following happens:

Some or all files are listed twice in the file listing. For example,
index.html will follow index.html in the list. Also, the checkin/checkout
indicator is missing or wrong on some files.

On another computer "B", when we hook up to the site also using SP2002,
everything looks fine.

What's happening? This looks like a client problem on computer "A" but
I have no idea how to resolve it.

Thanks for any help.
 
Dear Julie,
if you could include a link, then we can all take a look at the that
page and the code and see what happens. I suspect, however, that you
might want to try and dump the browser cache of the computer with the
problem. After clearing the cache, I mean completely emptying the
folder at the location C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files (except for index.dat), return to the
page fresh. If the problem is still occurring, please send a link for
us to look at the code, or if that is not possible, right click the
page from the offending computer, and select view source. Copy it, and
pasted into notepad. Do the same from computer number two, and post
both versions here. I bet one of the Microsoft MVP's here will be able
to figure it out if one of us simple developers cannot. Good luck.
 
Delete the web cache files for the web.
With FrontPage closed, use Windows Explorer to go to
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
(copy the above into the Windows Explorer address bar)
then delete all *.web files there. These will be recreated as and
when they are required.
Then open the web in FrontPage.
A tool for this (FP Cleaner) can be downloaded from
www.95isalive.com/fixes
Use this to also delete your temporary files.
