Title: Windows XP
Post by: Highlander on October 21, 2014, 04:01:31 PM
I need to load Frontpage 2000 but on my new computer which has Windows 7 one can not do that. My question is can I use an external hard drive, install XP on that & subsequently Frontpage on to that. I need Frontpage 2000 to amend my web site.
I am quite happy with 7 but just this issue I am at a loss to accomplish.
There are other versions but as I am familiar with the "old one I would like to continue with that if I can.
If answear is yes what do I need to buy (cheap) to accommodate this procedure.

If your version of windows 7 is "professional" or above you can install an xp virtual machine which will run all the xp stuff no problem

Windows professional and upwards will run XP programs in XP Mode or upgrade to 2003 and it should work :)

Sandy, Windows 7 which I have will not run Frontpage 2000. It might well run 2003 but I do not want to buy that. I am conversant with 2000 so want to keep that as my editor.

Have you tried to right click on Frontpage 2000 then selecting  "troubleshoot compatibility"?

No I have not Fred but I get an error message half way through install I do have original Frontpage disc with codes. Taking advice on the net the concensus is that Windows 7 will not load Frontpage 2000. It will Frontpage 2003 but I do not want that one.
My son tells me he has Vista on his lap top. Maybye I could load the disc on to that & edit my web using his. I only want to be able to do that not use any other XP facilities.
