Hello,
I run on Windows '95. I installed 1st Page 2000 v2 eight weeks ago; Coffee
Cup HTML Editor 8.7 the next week; updated that to 8.8 the week after; then
Xara X and Homesite 4.5 two weeks ago. I uninstalled C.C. after the month's
trial.

Today I couldn't get Homesite to instert pictures correctly - (they didn't
show) - from a folder on the Desktop. It was missing out the 'C:'. Then I
got an access error when I attempted to open 1st Page, but it opened and
functioned on the second attempt. Then I found it had become impossible to
send any file to a floppy (though the floppy drive was still able to read
and write disks). At each attempt I got "Fatal Error" "Unable to create an
instance of required object." "Server/admin"  etc. then the tray icons would
vanish and I'd get a message "Click here to begin" with a pointer indicating
the Start button.

Norton can find no virus activity.

ScanDisk found errors in several Homesite files "folder cannot be opened in
MS-DOS mode because its MS-DOS name, including the names of any folders it
is in, is longer than 66 characters." After ScanDisk repairs, I still
couldn't send files to a floppy.

Does anyone understand this? Help would be most appreciated!

Cheers,
Helen.
