I just created my first published Web site this month
with FP 2002. At firt, I was able to use my Normal, HTML,
and Preview tabs without issues.

But now, I get this message when I click the Preview tab:
An error occurred while attemtping to write the file.

The next message I receive is this one:

The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
The Web site might be experiencing technical
difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser
settings.

What happened here?

Why can't I use my Preview tab anymore?

It doesn't even work on my prepublished C://My Webs
documents I created under FP 2002 either.

Thank you,

Tracy L.
 
The Preview tab uses an embedded IE browser. It could be that there is a
setting in IE that causes this. One thing you might check is if a Proxy
server is being used. There are some programs (and things like
spyware/adware) that will get into IE and force IE to use a proxy server for
requests so they can keep track of you and to redirect you to their stuff
sometimes (like during searches). You can see the proxy information thorugh
the IE Tools | Options | Internet Connections and looking through the
connection information for proxies (also can be looked at in the LAN
settings tab for dialup). If you have a program such as ZoneAlarm running or
another firewall that blocksprograms it could be that it has FP listed as a
program that can't access network resources.

Hope this helps,
