Help!!! I don't know what I did different?????

[jabez1771]

I have been using FP98 for years. After all these years it had become a breeze for me to create webs and modify them. Then.... I had to reformat my harddrive. I made a back-up of my webs prior to reformat. Got computer running again and re-installed FP98. But it is completly different than what I'm used to. For one, I can't open FP and then select the web I want to use. It won't let me tell it where they are located. It just keeps saying something about a rootweb??? I don't even know what that means. So I opened one of my webs on the internet and used the edit button, just like I used to do. It now gives the option to edit using FP "editor". I don't remember that. I thought it used to just say, edit using FP??? Anyway, that way doesn't work either. I can open the file but all I get is list of the different pages (folders & files). In the past, I would actually be working "the" webpage. It would be in full view and it had tabs at the bottom so I could see the html code and a tab for preview. When I made changes to the web I just hit save and it was automatically uploaded to the web. I'm so confused. I have not idea what I did different this time. Can anyone help me??

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

Did you install the personal web server also? FP98 requires it to be installed and is pretty much unusable until you do. Upgrading to 2000 or higher would not only do away with that requirement but also give you a lot of other great improvements over the 98 version.
