FP2003 error message: "can't open file" while editing in localhost

[Kerry]

Lately, with FrontPage2003, while editing our localhost,
I've been getting an error message reading:

"Couldn't open file C:\Documents and Settings\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\FrontPageTempDir\761d414a.htm."

I close the error window and another similar
filenamenumber.htm takes its place. This dance continues
for 6 or more file names. I shut down FP and reopen and
everything is fine for a while.

When I look in Temporary Internet Files there is no
\FrontPageTempDir\.
However there is a folder named FrontPageTempDir in
C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Temp but it has
nothing in it.

It seems to have something to do with the number of pages
I have open. Sometimes it's only after I've edited about 6
pages.

It appears also that it's related to FP2003 in combination
with my new clean install of XP Pro (on a RAID-1). I just
switched from XP Home to XP Pro. I've used FP for several
years (versions) and never had this problem.

Today I did a clean install of FrontPage 2003 which puts
FP in C:\Program Files\microsoft office -and within about
six pages it brought up the same "can't open... " error
message.

I've looked in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local
Settings\Temp\FrontPageTempDir (which as I mention is
always empty)
and,
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache (After this
morning's error message I looked in \Cache and it only had
6 files, which I deleted)

I have also deleted, via IE's Tools>Internet
Options>Temporary Internet Files>, both "Delete files"
and "Delete cookies."


A search for 761d414a.htm (to include hidden files) brings
up nothing

I have 1.00 GB of RAM.

I have My Webs (the folder that contains all 15 of our
local webs/subwebs)located at C:\My Webs\webnames. I like
it this way because it allows me to quickly read the name
of the web more easily in the Folder List.

Need new trick.

Thanks,

Kerry
XP Pro, FrontPage 2003

This has happened to a few people - we've reported it to Microsoft - but so
far they have not been able to reproduce the error.

What resolves it for me is to click OK at each error message until it's
through, then switch to Code view, then back to Design view, and then do a
View | Refresh on the page.

Close FrontPage.
Paste the following into Start > Run and click OK
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir

In the window that opens Delete everything that shows on the right hand side. ( yes I said
everything )
Close the window.
Reopen FrontPage
