Problem with Microsoft Frontpage

Lately when writing a webpage with Microsoft Frontpage I click the preview button to make sure all is well, like getting the script you expect but all I get is the top part of the page, the cursor frozen on 'timer symbol' and I can't scroll down. After about 10 seconds the page changes to one that says the program cannot load the webpage. None of the suggestions on it help.
Any ideas?

Have you double checked your settings? It might be a case of FP is trying to find a file in a different path than where your file is at.

I can't think why, but it's only happening with the FP file I'm working on now. Looking at other files I've saved from previous posts there's no issue!

spufi: I'm not sure how you mean, given the above, would that still be a possibility though?

I've never really used it so I'm just tossing out ideas. FP is old at this point so I'm not sure how many here would be familiar with it. FP is now called Web Expression and is in it's 4th edition as well. No, I don't use WE either.

To clarify that, it's not like FP was renamed to WE. FP was tossed out, and MS came out with WE - a totally different product.

Regarding the original question, I wouldn't be surprised if the FP page viewer was having trouble parsing some new code on the page that came out in the 21st century.
