New XP Media Center

[Sherrie]

Hi All!
I have just upgraded to XP Media Center. I used Front Page 2000 on my laptop prior to getting the new Media Center.

The Media Center came with a trial version of Office 2003 for 60 days. I don't know if that will be relevant to my problem, but I thought I'd add that piece.
I tried to install my FP 2000 cd and it came up with an error message. I was able to install it, but when I went to my web site and made front page changes to the web they didn't take. Particularly the photo files. I then thought, hmmmm. Well maybe I need to get out my old Front Page 98 disks and install it first. I did that. Still no good.

I now can't use Front Page to adjust or work on my website (which annoys me as I got it for websites and more room. I'm stuck still having to use my laptop Front Page 2000. Having tried many things I finally went out and bought (ordered) Front Page 2003.

Now, I have a question. When it arrives, do I just install it and it will work?
Will it ***** up my ability to use the Front Page 2000 on my laptop? Do I need anything else with the Front Page 2003 on XP Media Center?

I know. These are a lot of questions, but I'd like to be prepared when the program indeed arrives so that I can transition to the XP Media Center, but still use my Front Page 2000 on my laptop (unless I have the ability to install the FP 2003 on my Laptop...(don't know if I have enough power to use it on the laptop yet.)

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Your laptop will not be affected by your media center, they are two seperate entities. What's installed on one will not interfere with the other.

If you use some of the features in FrontPage 2003 (not available in FrontPage 2000) on your web site. FrontPage 2000 won't know, therefore will not give you the ability to use those features through FrontPage 2000.

As far as installing FrontPage on media center.
No mater which flavor of Windows you have.

FrontPage is part of the Office family.
Allways install the Oldest first as to prevent version conflicts specific to the Office suite.

Therfore, FrontPage 2000 should have been installed prior to Office 2003.

Thank you for your quick response. Unfortunately the Office 2003 was already installed by Best Buy when we bought the puter. I am not sure what will happen when it's 60 day trial period runs out...but I'm hoping it will let me install Front Page 2003 without grief and subsequent interruption when the trial is over. I haven't decided whether I'll buy it or not...

Thanks for the help.
