I need help and don't know where to go to find it.
I have tried searching the Microsoft knowledge base and haven't found
anything.
I have tried asking this group and the Windows newsgroup and am still in the
dark.
I have FrontPage 2002 installed on a Win 98 Dell P4 system and it WAS
working well.
I had been designing and authoring my web on a partition of my hard disk as
device G:/ which included a web and subwebs. Well . . that is until just
recently!
This arrangement allowed me to test and debug a big web based upon being
able to navigate using the XFX DHTML Menuing system and using the construct
of "/hdr/mainhdr.jpg" to be able to find that component from anywhere in any
subdirectory. The alternative was 1. to have a different navigation system
for each level away from the root( root="hdr/mainhdr.jpg", one level away
being="../hdr/mainhdr.jpg", two levels away being="../../hdr/mainhdr/jpg",
etc).
The use of full fixed URLS (http://www.wgtn/net/hdr/mainhdr.jpg") was not an
option that would allow me to test and develop locally on my hard disk. SO
it was used.
And I did want the technical complicating of installing and maintaining my
own personal server, so it was not an option.
After asking here about a problem with FP 2002 Component Include Page, I was
led to install the service packs for Office XP. That did fix the problem
that I HAD been having. BUT . . it created one that was far worse!
After the installation of the Office XP service packs, I could not longer
open the web I had at the Root of drive G:/ . This meant I cannot update my
home page nor the menuing system for the entire web that resides there!
I tried rebooting. I tried uninstalling FP 2002 and reinstalling it. I
searched the Registry for stuff to no avail.
Although FP 2002 will let me have access to the Roots of drive D:/, E:/, and
F:/ . . and gives me the option of changing it to a web . . it will not even
let me pne drives G:/, H:/, and I:/ since I installed the service packs. why
keep me out of just those drives?
So, I figured I would creat a partition at J:/ and copy my material from G:
to J: and it might let me open J:/ like it was willing to do with D:/, E:/
and F:/ . . HA! No such luck! After creating the partition and copying
stuff there FP 2002 tell me there is no web at devie J:? and won't let me
open it with FP. .nor does it give me the option of creating a web there
like it will from drvies D, E, & F?
I cannot update my home page nor the navigation menu without getting to the
web at the Root of drive G:.
Does anyone have ANY insight or guidance?
