Error Message -- What is Causing it?

M

Mike

I am frequently having the following error message come up when I try to open
a file. This is after I open the web when I begin to open the file:

"Microsoft FrontPage has encountered a problem and needs to close...."
You can see this error message at:
http://www.knot2worry.us/FrontPage Error Message

Then FrontPage closes and restarts and I am never able to open the file.

What causes this?

That's a very strange URL. If I were to guess, I would say you are infected
with some sort of virus or malware.

Have you tried the usual repairs

1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files or
Tools>Site Settings> Advanced (tab) Delete Files (Button)
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
3) In Windows Explorer Find and delete the file CMDUI.PRF
4) Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins
5) Run a Repair / Reinstall on FP & IE

(especially #5)

Try one at a time and see how it goes...

Click to expand...

In the same folder, try opening a different file by double-clicking on it,
then doing a "Save As".

Does FP still crash?

If yes, then you might have a corrupted header in one of your files in that
folder. (What "corruption" means in this case is what makes FrontPage
choke, not just a damaged file.)

FrontPage reads the header (between the <head> tags) of all the files in the
folder when you open the browse box, which includes the "open" box and the
"save as" box. To fix the problem, you have to find out what file is
causing the problem and then remove/rebuild the header information. How you
go about that depends on your skills and knowledge of HTML.

Good luck.

(ps, try the stuff the other posters suggested first)
