Front Page 98 & Windows XP

I bought a new computer that has XP installed. I tried to install my Front
Page 98 but keep getting a message "32 bit TCP/IP networking" needs to be
installed. Can you tell me how to make this work with Windows XP. Thank you

Windows XP Home doesn't support a web server, so most likely when you
installed FP98 it install it's PWS by default, since it was designed to
always be used with a web server.

You will need to uninstall FP98 and the Web server, then use the custom
install option to just install FP without the web server and extensions,
etc.

FP98 then should work, but you may have problem since it wasn't design to
work with disk-based webs.

Alternatively, you could visit eBay and see you can find a copy of FP2000,
which is designed by default to work with disk-based webs.
