From: anna on 21 Mar 2010 12:22 As per my previous question, I am in addition NOW have problems when I start Front Page from the Quick Launch Icon. It immediately wants to install something. I cancel that and it opens. Annoying but doesn't prevent it from opening. But it has been installed and uninstalled so much, I have it crossed up somewhere. I am removing it again. I have checked Reg Edit and see Front Page keys are clearly marked. Is it safe to remove any and all keys that say Front Page? -- @nna

I installed it from my DVD drive, I selected a complete install. The only thing I did that I think could be a problem is to check to remove installation files from the Front Page setup as the install was completed. That has never happed in the past when cleaning the install files, so not sure that would do it. Also, my Front Page 2003 has Service Pac 3 installed for Front Page and MS Office 2003. I also have installed the file conversion package for FP 2003. I cannot find any other updates. -- @nna

I would of course prefer to have a list of registry entries from Front Page 2003, but a backup, and a lot of respect for the registry and what it can do, makes me very careful. Unfortunately Misrosoft [and Norton] have made it very necessary to fix some situations by registry editing. I hate it. But I do it. I have killed a computer by using a third party registry editor, but not by editing the registry myself. Live and learn since Windows 95a. And before that, a DOS machine [8088 maybe]. I appreciate your concern. The registry is NOT for everyone. And I am sure you hardly every recommend it in here or help anyone do it. But onto the problem. I do and I have allowed that Windows Installer to complete. I have allowed it to complete with the disc in the DVD drive and without it in the DVD drive. I wish I knew what it wanted. It doesn't care that I let it complete. So when I am working, I don't waste time letting it finish. -- @nna
