SYMPTOMS
When you try to open FrontPage from the Start menu or during Setup, you may receive the following error message:

Fpcutl.dll is linked to a missing export Mfc42.dll.

This error message is preceded by:

"There is a device attached to this system that is not functioning correctly."

NOTE: You may also receive this error message during Setup.



Create a New Shortcut to the FrontPage Executable File
In some cases, you may be able to correct this problem by creating a new shortcut to the Frontpg.exe file.

To create a shortcut to the FrontPage executable file, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click an open area on the Desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
 * 2) Click Browse.
 * 3) Browse to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Frontpg.exe, click Open, and then click Next.

NOTE: A typical installation of FrontPage installs the program files to this location. If you selected a different installation location during Setup, you must browse to that location and select the Frontpg.exe file.
 * 1) Type a name for the shortcut. If a Finish button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click the Finish button. If a Next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box, click the Next button, click the icon that you want to use for the shortcut, and then click Finish.
 * 2) Double-click the shortcut on the Desktop to start FrontPage.
