Hello COPO,

This is a FrontPage issue not Windows 7. This may happen if the Service.lck file has got damaged. To rectify this, you have a choice of three options:

  1. Locate the Service.lck file with Windows Explorer and delete it. Close down Front Page, then try again. Sometimes this will not work, depending on why that file got damaged in the first place. If it does not work, then you have the following two options:
  2. Create your new Web in a different folder. If you are trying to create it in the My Webs folder ... make a new folder outside of the My Webs folder, perhaps call it My Webs2 ... then create your new Web in that.
  3. Totally delete the contents of the My Webs folder before creating a new Web.
