the problem seems to be only on that computer. I use the computer to run all
sorts of other programs, mainly graphic design programs. They all work fine.
I receive and send email just fine through outlook.

I have installed and re-installed FrontPage. From FP2000 to FP 2003!

I realize that this is not as much a problem with FP itself, but I was
hoping that someone else here may have seen this happen before and had any
information or inkling as to why this would happen.

When you look at the remote website through an FTP program, there are all
these files - I mean, it just looks like duplicates upon duplicates. I try to
delete some, but again, no permissions.

I also noticed that there are two index files. Two different extensions. htm
and html
It has been my experience that the index page needs to be html

(I'll delete the htm one, but I doubt that is going to solve anything)

I also noticed that there two complete copies of the htm files/pages.

One is under a file labeled htdocs the other is under the htdocs/_vti_cnf
folder

Since one of the error messages says ":Cannot open "we80.cnf": no such file
or folder. " I am really tempted to just delete that entire folder....

I guess what I am asking, is, if this were your website, what would you do?

I am guessing I should have the provider temporarily host the site on
another domain name (use a redirect from the main domain name) then delete
the entire site, remove FP, re-install it, then start over and see what
happens?

If that doesn't work: I just can't imagine what would be so different about
the computer and how it is configured that it makes FP behave as it has been.

Again, any help, at all, appreciated.
