FRONTPAGE 2000 -- CANNOT OPEN FILES OR PUBLISH WEB

W

Webmaster

OUR FRONTPAGE 2000 RECENTLY FAILS TO OPEN ANY FILES IN THE
PC SIDE WEB FOLDER (CPU CYCLES AT 100% INTERMINABLY AND
FRONT PAGE IS "NOT RESPONDING" IN THE TASK MANAGER).

ALSO, WHEN OPENING THE WEB FOLDER, THE "PUBLISH" ICON IS
UNAVAILABLE FOR PUBLISHING THE WEB.

USING FRONTPAGE TO EDIT/SAVE THE WEBSITE PAGES WORKS FINE,
AS DID "PUBLISH" TO PC SIDE WEB FOLDER. HOWEVER, FRONTPAGE
STILL FAILS TO OPEN THESE PC SIDE FILES (AS ABOVE).

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

Also Have you tried the usual repairs
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
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
6) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, and MS Office

Thank you for your reply.

The problem appears to be in the website directory name
(which has been in use for several years). When the
directory name is changed from the original, the website
opens fine, files are accessible and the publish icon is
active in Frontpage 2000.

Any idea where the website names (and connections) are
stored? Perhaps deleting possibly corrupted
names/connections can solve the issue?

Meanwhile, just using a new website name is working.

Thank you for any feedback.

In the FP meta files (updated by running Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks) and in web cache file (*.web)
