How are you downloading?
What's the URL for your site, so we can take a look.
In the mean time do what Ronx suggests...find & delete *.web files (except for any that relate to Xara) ... I wouldn't do a Detect & Repair just yet though..although it may be needed eventually.
| I'm working on my local harddrive. I created a new web in frontpage, set up
| my shared borders first, then went on to add content. If I leave the files
| open, its all there, if I close the files and reopen, nothing remains but the
| borders. Previously, I've uploaded and have my website active. But I have
| been trying to do some updates, and since Friday, have not been able to
| update, and have lost all of my files on my harddrive. I'm not working live,
| I'm just working off my harddrive.
|
| Then I tried to download the files from my website, to 'start over' and do
| my updates again...same problem, I keep losing the information.
