Possible bug in FP2003

[chris_fieldhouse]

I have noticed that sometimes my systems completely locks up when using
FP2003.

It does not always happen, but the common denominator is when
moving/resizing a frontpage dialog box.

It happened today consistanty.
Opening the Edit->Find dialog box.
Enter a search string, select "Source code".
If the list of source files that the string was found in is larger than
the display box, resizing the dialog window causes my system to freeze
up.

Machine specifics.
WinXP (Home) SP2, up to date on fixes
Office 2000 Professional SP1
Frontpage 2003 (using office update, am at the most up to date code)
Machine Pentium Celeron 1.3GHz, 786MB RAM.

Anyone else seen this or heard of any bugs in Frontpage?

Close FrontPage.
Copy and paste this in Start Run:
%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State

Delete the file named CmdUI.PRF


Reopen FrontPage.

Hi Steve,

I tried out the recommendation.
but unfortunately I still get FP2003 freezing up my whole system when I
resize the search results window

Any other tips or suggestions?

Thanks

I running a Help Detect and Repair doesn't cure it
you probably need to check / upgrade your video drivers

Yep, the video drivers does appear to be the issue.

Thanks.
