FP1: Could Not Make Connection Error Starting FP for Macintosh

• Microsoft FrontPage for the Power Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you start FrontPage Editor or FrontPage Explorer, you receive the following message:

   Could not make connection to the FrontPage Editor (or FrontPage
   Explorer). Please try to start the FrontPage Editor (or FrontPage
   Explorer) from the Finder.

   The command could not be completed, because there is not enough memory
   available. Closing windows or quitting application programs can make
   more memory available.

WORKAROUND

If you receive this error message, follow these steps:

1. Check Virtual Memory on the computer. Note that Ram Doubler 1.5 or higher can be used as a Virtual Memory substitute.

2. Verify that all required components are available. To use Microsoft FrontPage 1.0, you need the following components:

       - A Power PC-based Macintosh computer running at 100 MHz or higher.
   

       - Apple Macintosh System Software, version 7.5.3 or higher.
   

       - 16 Megabytes (MB) of RAM if virtual memory is turned on.
         Microsoft recommends you have at least 24 MB of RAM.
   

       - 30 MB of available hard disk space.
   

3. Verify that all required FrontPage Extensions and Preferences files exist. You should have the following files installed on your computer:

       - Restart the computer while pressing the COMMAND+OPTION keys.

         method to rebuild the Desktop on a floppy disk only).
   

       - Press COMMAND+OPTION+ESC [or the tilde (~) character] to force quit
         the Finder. Continue to press the COMMAND+OPTION keys while the
