Frontpage 2000 freezes...error msg when reinstalling re... - 10/16/2004 11:15:58   
A couple of days ago, my Frontpage 2000 program started to freeze after I tried to open html pages (in "mywebs" folder ) to edit.

I first tried the 'Repair' feature in the Add/Remove section of Control Panel. Then I reinstalled the program numerous times, both from the Control Panel's Add/Remove and then from the CDRom itself.

Nothing has worked.

All reinstallations gave me the following message: "Unable to access configuration for microsoft personal web server."

Does anyone know what the problem it, and how to correct it???

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Very strange... since MS Personal Web Server doesn't even run on XP...

Are you trying to edit ASP pages by chance?

No.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does "MS Personal Web Server" do?

MS-Personal Web Server (PWS) is a light weight server application that enabled Windows 98 and NT to serve up pages like a web server...

It was required to run ASP scripts locally (or perform other server tasks, without an actual server)

On XP - Pro you now would use IIS... for Home you would need to download a 3rd party application or hack something on to work.

I find it strange that it would be looking for it on an XP machine...

Have you checked for updates to FP and Windows..?

Try searching for them on the MS website...

If you have Office you should get them with any office updates you run...
