From: John on 30 Dec 2009 06:58 Hey I use frontpage 2003 on all my sites but since buying a new system with window 7 home premium I can't even access the server to upload or download. What is stopping it and why do I continue to get the log in window repeatedly? Help...

In Vista, my ancient version of FP (2000) would run "locally", but it would not connect to a live web, kept getting error messages about "invalid location..." only wanted to look on my hard disk for a "web". I could edit locally and publish "up", but not open off the server. I tried all of the compatibility modes with no love... In Win7 it runs just fine, well, at least as good as it did on XP/Win 2000/Win 98. <G> In addition, some of my older software that Vista did not run so well now runs fine on Win7. Most notably another ancient, registered version of Forte's Agent Newsreader (1.93/32.576). In Vista I had to choose "run as administrator" every time I opened it, no matter what "compatibility" mode I had set for it. Now it opens normally. DJ On Monday, December 07, 2009 8:36 PM Karl E.

You can run any application using XP Compatibility mode, but that only tries to "trick" the app into thinking it is running on XP. The actual XP Mode is what you are thinking about, though, which is in essence an updated version of Virtual PC. And you are right that it really is not very difficult to setup and use. it is how I have had to install FrontPage 2003 on my x64 Windows 7 system, because it did not handle SaveAs properly when installed directly into the host. Also, Windows 7 version of IIS does not support FrontPage Server Extensions so you need to have an XP machine to host your staging webs. Again, I used the same VM for that. it is very slick, although your head will spin a bit as you contemplate it all. One of those weird cases of "easier done than said." :-) Nah, Virtualization is to the 2010s what Plastics was to the 1960s! (Think Dustin Hoffman, /The Graduate/.) Where it is at, man. Heh... A not so easy answer is to convert the old physical machine to a virtual machine, and just run that within the new one! -- [.NET: it is About Trust!] On Tuesday, December 08, 2009 3:49 AM wyzguy wrote: .. =A0Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate allow for a Windows XP .. =A0 Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate allow for a Windows XP compatibily mode, which basically runs an XP virtual machine inside Windows 7. If you are runnning Win 7 Home Premium, which you are if you bought the computer at retail, this is not avaialble to you, you would need to upgrade to Pro. XP Compatibility is probably not TOO hard to set up, depending on your skill level. I cannot imagine any version of Office prior to 2003 will be supported on Win 7, so if your FP is 2002 or 2000 you will be out of luck. Expression Web is not too difficult to switch to, although if you are used to working with Shared Borders and Themes, you site will need to be redone using a Dynamic Web Template. No easy answers here. You could keep your old computer and just use it for web design...
