FIX: Web Server Related Errors on Multi-Processor Computer

If you have an older version of FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) on a dual-processor machine, errors may manifest themselves in a number of ways. Some of those are listed here:

• Unspecified errors in application log relating to FrontPage Server Extensions after server hangs
• Strange permissions configuration problems with FrontPage Webs
• Parse errors with files in the _vti_cnf folder and the web server stops, but shows as running in IIS Manager
• "Unable to contact Web server" error when attempting to create a project in Visual InterDev
• Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions: Error #80002 Message: System exception: access violation.
• Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions: (OS Error #-1073741819 Message: exception occurred at 0x780014dc)

Any of the above errors may occur.

FPSE before version 3.0.2.1706 could potentially cause a server lock up on a Web server hosted on a multi-processor machine with multiple simultaneous authors.

To resolve this problem, install the latest version of the FPSE.

This bug was corrected in FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
