'My Web' files won't open into FrontPage

Mysteriously my FrontPage program opens fine, but when I go to 'File' and
'Open' and try to work on a saved page from 'My Webs' nothing happens, the
program just freezes and I have to reboot the computer. I can't edit anything
at all.

I ran Registry Mechanic, which fixes any errors (allegedly), the other day
for the first time; could this be the cause? I really could do with
reinstalling the whole program, but I don't know where to get it from - for
free at least.

I need to work on my site desperately but can't, so I would apreciate it
greatly if someone could help out.

Kind regards
 
1. With FrontPage open, click Help and then detect and Repair.

If, still no luck go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm
and download FP Cleaner.

Run all of the functions except "Change the Open last web setting"

Yes, Registry Mechanic and other apps that change the registry can cause problems.

FANTASTIC!!Thanks very much indeed. I can now start work again! The program
moved three files, inc two cache files to the recycle bin and hey presto,
working again. Can't thank you enough.

Thanks very much
 
Glad to help.

I am not sure how to classify this problem. When I try to make changes, edit
I get a "four pronged symbol" with arrows on the end of each prong. How can I
get rid of this and back to the normal edit functions to change text, insert
files etc?
 
Nope, anyplace I put the cursor, it gives me the odd looking 4 pointed
symbol. I can't do any functions in frontpage any more.

Odd, huh?
 
Can you just open FP and use File New page to create a new page and edit it
- if not try running a Help Detect & Repair from FP

Good Morning,

I did the repair function. I can open a new page and add items t it. But,
the same problem exists. no matter where I put the cursor, the "four pronged
star" appears and I cannot edit anything.
 
Are you trying to edit a page that has a DWT (Dynamic Web Template) attached
to it?
