Default DMX2004 7.1

I have just installed the latest version of DMX2004 - 7.1,

and since then I am having problem with the website preview in IE6.
When I design the page and insert an image it display in design view but it does not display in the browser.
checked the path and it seems to point to the right one.

the browser keeps hanging on and it takes more then 15min to display a very small amount from a page.
It did work very well before hand.
I reinstall IIS, DMX2004, but the problem is still there.
Any suggestions?

I manage to get the IIS working again by reloading windows and all programs.

Everything works fine except one thing:

<link href="style_css.css" rel=stylesheet type=text/css>
if I include the style sheet, the IE does not display anything and keeps hanging on forever.
without the style sheet the page loads fine.
Any help there?

How are you previewing the page? Do you have Dreamweaver create a temporary copy? If so, did you try disabling that feature?

And how does your style sheet look like?

And for the images: did you upload them to your remote server as well? Dreamweaver shows you your local copy, but when you run the page, the browser will request the images from the remote server.....

Please find bellow a copy of my CSS file:

body,td,th {
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size: 10px;
}
a {
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size: 10px;
}


The create temporary files is unchecked.

Then I am stumped. It shouldn't be like that.

You are using localhost as the "remote" server, right? How did you set up / configure the Dreamweaver site? Did you set up the Local, Remote and Testing category?

No, I have the Remote server setup as the FTP server on the web.
Testing server as localhost

It sounds to me that, for some reason, the CSS file is not making it to the testing or remote server.

Check to see if the CSS is on the server. The browser needs to load the CSS before the document.

I checked on the testing server and all files are there.
I created a new site, and I am getting the same results.
No images comes in the browser, and no css file.

another thing i just noticed:
I have a template.asp page where I also have 4 includes:
top.asp
left.asp
right.asp
bottom.asp.

the template.asp shows grand in the design view until I add some asp code. (ex. <%=Now()%>
the asp code just added display in the browser fine but when I go back to Dreamweaver all I can see is the top.asp include file.
all the other ones are gone, but they exist in the code.


This is just absurd as I just loaded a fresh copy of Dreamweaver.
