FP2003 - Preview not working correctly

[Tim]

An odd one I think
Have two computers networked at home.
Both have FP2003 recently installed ( per EULA )
both run win XP pro. SP 1
Both run In. EXP 6 ( 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633)
Office XP on both machines

On my desk top, when I preview my ( simple) FP2003 web, I get no response to
clicking a LOCAL link ( to another page in my disk based web) but can link
if I click a hyperlink to the web.

On my laptop - networked to share the SAME files/diskweb ( not
simultaneously!) the preview will follow the "local
" links without a problem.
I did install on the desk top first by about 24 hours.
I have done a Detect and repair on the desktop and reset all to default.

I did have FP2000 INSTALLED on the desktop before I upgraded ( not on the
laptop).
As Far as I am aware, I have installed all critical updates AND all Office
updates recommended on BOTH machines.

I haven't tried completely reinstalling FP2003 on the desktop yet - hoped
detect and repair would be sufficient.

Any suggestions?

NB I did install IIs server on the desktop when I had FP2000 and later
removed it via add/remove..
Thanks
Tim

Thought I should add -
the pages are fine if I preview in browser.
in FP Preview - When I "hover" over an internal link ( to another page in
my web site) the status bar does show the address of file I would link to
but clicking does nothing.

Wooo hooo...
it worked - thanks Stefan.
I did do a search at MS before posting here, but searched specifically under
FrontPage 2003 rather than the all encompassing "FrontPage".
This problem is still listed as effecting FrontPage 2002 - no mention of
2003.
Your help greatly appreciated
