Help with FrontPage tutorial video?

Recommended Posts

I bought a CD that is supposed to be a tutorial for FrontPage 2003 and is supposed to run as a stand along. Regardless, it won't run with or without FrontPage 2003. I think it's blank because is doesn't run when I place it in my D drive. At first it asked if I wanted to burn a CD. After that it shows a new folder icon. I've gone into Windows Explorer and tried Run off my Windows main Start and neither will boot it up - run it. I just get that prompt icon called - New Folder. Clicking and double clicking on the D drive gets nothing. I also tried the CD in my E (DVD) drive and nothing there either. I think it's blank but I don't know how to verify that. How do I verify if it's blank or maybe some other program or language that won't run with my Windows XP Home Ed.? (The company (amazingelearning.com) that produced it appears to be legit, but they haven't yet answered email inquiries; I'm thinking maybe this one got labeled, but didn't get burned, then again - maybe I did.)

Thanks in advance for your replies.

If you go into Windows Explorer and click the drive that the cd is in, all you see is "new folder"? And that folder is empty? Bad cd.

FrontPage is a jazzed up version of Word. You have to make a folder for the pictures and point the graphic inserts to that image folder, while Word will automatically make that folder for you. Other than that, the only other big difference is the way you view the source code. In Word you use the View command, in FP you have the option on the bottom of the screen to look at your work in progress, a split screen, the code itself or a preview of what the thing is going to look like. You can't edit the preview screen, so you won't get mixed up. Play with FP a little- you know more about it than you realize, Bill, just from working so hard with Word.

Thanks for the replies. Invaluable wisdon Monkey; you been down that road? ... lol ... and now me! I'll work at it Johanna. I did get a reply from customer service at amazingwhatever, after 6 days, and they have supposedly mailed another CD. Imagine that - customer service. Well I'm off to monkey around with FrontPage and out of your hair for awhile. I really do appreciate your help and you sharing your expertise Monkey.
