Cannot edit text boxes

[mark g]

I have just recently upgraded to Windows XP and
transfered all the files i use for my website from a
computer running windows 98 to new one running xp.
Frontpage 2002 is on both computers. The problem is i
cannot edit any text boxes as the computer thinks they
are pictures and comes up with the following
message "This picture was automaticaly generated from
vector markup language stored elsewhere in the page.
Changes to this picture may be lost...". Also when i try
to edit pages my linkbars disappear. Can anyone please
shed light as to what is wrong. Thanks..

Text boxes are VML (vector markup language), not Text
If you have downlevel images selected under VML Graphics (Tools Page Options Compatibility), FP creates the downlevel .gif images in
a hidden thicket folder managed from the xml code

How did you transfer from 1 machine to another?
- did you copy all files/ folders including hidden system folders?
If from a CD did you remove all read only attributes from all files/folder at all levels?

You may have to recreate the shape art

IMHO
Don't use them as they are not cross browser compatible
