"out of memory" when PREVIEW clicked

Hello:

I get an "out of memory" error when I click the PREVIEW
tab... then I click OK and immediately get another "out
of memory" error... it's a never ending cycle. I have to
use control alt delete to get out of frontpage (and
ultimately loose all my changes because I didn't (and
couldn't) save...GRRR).

I uninstalled and reinstalled Frontpage 2000. I have
downloaded updates and patches.

I have Win XP, 256 RAM.

I did use some software to check my RAM and it's 100% OK.

I even made a new file that wasn't in a "web" and no VTI
files associated with it. And the webpage still had the
same problem.

Please help... can't use frontpage at all because of this
problem.

Find and delete the cmdui.prf file for FrontPage - this is the file that
stores your customizations and preferences for the FrontPage Menu and it
will get rebuilt, using the defaults, the next time you start FrontPage.

Also, delete the cached (and possibly corrupted) copies of your webs - Close
FrontPage, and do a Find | Files and Folders | Named *.web, and delete
them.

Delete all FP temp files and IE temp files.

The solutions you provided didn't work.

I did a find for cmdui.prf and deleted.
I did a find for *.web and deleted all sources
I deleted my temp folders.

I emptied my recycle bin.

I rebooted.

I went within frontpage and previewed my webpage... I
still get "OUT OF MEMORY ERROR".

Any other possible causes?

Check your page in HTML for broken/missing tags.

Also what happen when you use File Menu | Preview in Browser instead of the
Preview tab?

Sharon,

Is the page available publicly on a website or FTP location? I would like to try and open the file.
