Frontpage Problems

[Jason Small]

I currently administer a large corporate network. We
currently use Windows 2000 & Office 2000 (with Frontpage).

We have recently started rolling out Office XP. We
installed FP2002 on some of the machines and while
attempting to open pages created with FP2000 (and have
themes) I get "System Error : Access Violation" and FP
2002 crashes.

I have read that installing FP2002 into a seperate
directory from Office XP would solve my problem. I tried
and it did, BUT I was wondering if there was another way
around this. Registry tweak? Anything. We just recently
contracted a specialist that built us an MSI package for
the rollout now it is useless because each install of
FP2002 will be botched.

Any Ideas? Comments? Suggestions? Anything?

Have you installed the latest Office XP Service Packs?

Have you tried the usual repairs
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
3) In Windows Explorer Find and delete the file CMDUI.PRF
4) Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins
5) Run a Repair / Reinstall on FP & IE
6) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, and MS Office
7) Troubleshoot the users web folders
