Front Page freezes

[Yaz McBoo]

I am using Office 2000 on Windows XP. FrontPage opens fine, and when I choose
to open a web/file, the pull-down menu comes up fine. But when I click on the
web/file I want to open, the program freezes. I've been using this program for
a few years now, and this has never happened until this past week.

I did a sytem restore, that did not help.

Any suggestions on how to get FrontPage working again, without uninstalling and
Reinstalling Office 2000?

Thanks,

Rob

Have you tried the usual repairs in the sequence below:
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- in FP 2003 you need to look in the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
3) Run a Repair on IE
(see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
4) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, MS Office and your Video card
(Windows Update and Office Update sites, plus your video card supplier site)
5) Open FP and Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins,
6) Open your FP Web/Site and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
