What does not work?
Which version of Windows 7?
How much RAM in the PC?
What error messages?
FrontPage 2003 works for many users in Windows 7 without problems.

Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate allow for a Windows XP compatibily
mode, which basically runs an XP virtual machine inside Windows 7. If
you are runnning Win 7 Home Premium, which you are if you bought the
computer at retail, this is not avaialble to you, you would need to
upgrade to Pro. XP Compatibility is probably not TOO hard to set up,
depending on your skill level. I can't imagine any version of Office
prior to 2003 will be supported on Win 7, so if your FP is 2002 or
2000 you will be out of luck.
Expression Web is not too difficult to switch to, although if you are
used to working with Shared Borders and Themes, you site will need to
be redone using a Dynamic Web Template.
No easy answers here. You could keep your old computer and just use
it for web design...

Well, start imagining a different scenario:
I recently did a clean install of Win 7 Home Premium (upgrade) onto a
new drive on my 8 mo old Vista machine.
In Vista, my ancient version of FP (2000) would run "locally", but it
would not connect to a live web, kept getting error messages about
"invalid location..." only wanted to look on my hard disk for a "web".
I could edit locally and publish "up", but not open off the server. I
tried all of the compatibility modes with no love...
In Win7 it runs just fine, well, at least as good as it did on XP/Win
2000/Win 98. <G>
In addition, some of my older software that Vista didn't run so well
now runs fine on Win7. Most notably another ancient, registered
version of Forte's Agent Newsreader (1.93/32.576). In Vista I had to
choose "run as administrator" every time I opened it, no matter what
"compatibility" mode I had set for it. Now it opens normally.

It happens that wyzguy formulated :
You have to be careful here - XP Compatibility and XP Mode are two
distinct things. You can run any application using XP Compatibility
mode, but that only tries to "trick" the app into thinking it's running
on XP. The actual XP Mode is what you're thinking about, though, which
is in essence an updated version of Virtual PC.
And you're right that it really isn't very difficult to setup and use.
It's how I've had to install FrontPage 2003 on my x64 Windows 7 system,
because it didn't handle SaveAs properly when installed directly into
the host. Also, Windows 7 version of IIS doesn't support FrontPage
Server Extensions so you need to have an XP machine to host your
staging webs. Again, I used the same VM for that.
It's very slick, although your head will spin a bit as you contemplate
it all. One of those weird cases of "easier done than said."
Nah, Virtualization is to the 2010s what Plastics was to the 1960s!
(Think Dustin Hoffman, /The Graduate/.) Where it's at, man. Heh...
A not so easy answer is to convert the old physical machine to a
virtual machine, and just run that within the new one!

Hey I use frontpage 2003 on all my sites but since buying a new system with window 7 home premium I can't even access the server to upload or download. What is stopping it and why do I continue to get the log in window repeatedly? Help...
