woking with windows xp - downloaded FP98 and trying to get started but it
keeps telling me that the server has timed out? Please help me figure this
one out, not too bright when it comes to programming? thats why I choose
FP98, it looked easy to use?

Thanks.
 
you downloaded a 7+ year old program?
FP98 needs a local server to run on your machine...like PWS.
You'd find FP a lot easier to use if you use a more recent addition...like 2000/2002/2003.

.....and, if it's WinXP Home, it won't support a web server.
And, if it's WinXP Pro, you must custom install the FP 98 so that it does
not install the FP PWS, and instead use the IIS 5.1 for the web server.
