Is it possible to change the default publisher (IE), in FrontPage? My IE7 abruptly stopped working. Each time I try to use IE7, a HTTP 404 Error occurs. IE7 doesn't seem to connect to the web. FireFox, an old Mozilla and NetScape all work fine. IE7 isn't in Off Line Mode. I noticed the IE7 problem when trying to publish from FrontPage, and the program couldn't connect. Only time IE7 works is when I test a url in the browser, which doesn't require a web connection. I un- and re-installed IE7, did a clean boot, talked with Microsoft and my host. Nada in all instances. Any ideas about what's what? Any way to switch FrontPage from IE to FireFox or another browser? Need help, asap, as site is languishing for lack of new content. Thanks, in advance. sclick

Mmmmmmm Microsoft allowing somebody else's browser to tie in to their software...... Mmmmmmmm Not a cat in hell's chance. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

Fingers, toes and eyes now crossed. BTW: no, I didn't expect MS would allow a change in the FP publishing browser, but gotta ask to know for sure. Thanks, again. Seasonal Tidings.

Somehow, proxy was enabled and there was an address in the box. In IE7: tools>connections>lan>proxy -- disable. There's is a gawd. Seasonal Tidings. (in reply to sclick)
