Unable to preview webpages

[Michelle]

I have the 30 day evaluation version of MS Publisher 2003 installed less than
a week ago on Win XP. All was well, that is until I decided to remove
Mozilla Firefox browser today. It appeared to be my default browser when I
went to preview my Publisher website. Since I no longer use Mozilla, I
decided to uninstall it, and in the process, I also cleaned up my Temporary
Internet files.

When I went back to try and preview my Publisher project, I received an
error message about being “unable to open†a file located in: C:\Documents
and Settings\Michelle\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.MSO\PubWebPagePreview\pub3616.2\index.htm. Cannot open the
specified file.

Obviously, an index file located in the Temporary Internet files was
deleted.

Just to make sure, I’ve re-installing Publisher, still no change. With any
project, even a brand new one, a similar error message appears: “Unable to
open C:\Documents and Settings\Michelle\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.MSO\PubWebPreview\pub2704.0\index.htm. Cannot open the
specified file.â€

Any ideas?

Firefox evidently doesn't cleanup completely, I found this on a forum.
Firefox leaves all htm & html files associated with Firefox even though Firefox had
been removed.

Do you have the Content.MSO folder?
Look in the folder and see if there are temp files from Firefox still residing. (Do
not delete the folder)

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files


Note The Content.mso folder is created the first time Office 2003 has to cache
temporary files that are identified as being from the Internet security zone. The
Internet security zone relies on the Windows redirector and on the Web client path
that is used to access the document.

Thanks for your speedy response Mary. Unfortunately, the Content.MSO folder
was deleted. Do you how I can work around this, as it seems I can no longer
preview my website (or any new projects) on my PC?

You probably need to get this resolved by using an Internet Explorer newsgroup or
even inquiring at FireFox.
