Hi Sandi, Frank and Jan :)

Yes, I did all that you suggested. No go, still the same problems.

Sandi, the first link you gave helped a bit, but the others were not helpful
for my IE6 because they did not give any explanations as to how to preform
the tasks (it was for older versions only). As for the registry, some names
included DWORD in the entire name, but I didn't know if I was to delete it or
not. And I have no clue how to set it (value?) to "0".

After I tried this,....I installed a beta version of a MS spyware tool
(suggested from the MS Frontpage Message board) from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
-- I found a bunch more spyware with this software. I deleted the spyware
as it instructed. But it still did not resolve my Edit button or View Source
problem.

I also tried to install "HijackThis", as suggested by Frank here, but every
time I did a scan with this program, I got an error message saying that it
couldn't complete the scan.

After all this, I even tried reinstalling FrontPage 2000 and rebooting.
Still no go.

thanks for all your suggestions,

Noreen
