When I preview my pages, they all come up with html code. What have I done?

I don't know what I did to cause it to happen. I have been working with password wizzard lately. Now, all of a sudden, I only get html code when I preview each page, even those that do not have any password code on it. The entire website previews with html code.

Can you open a backup vnu that was made before you started having the problem?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I have tried several backups and get the same problem. One thing I did do recently was update the password wizard.

Barbara, you have posted your question in a thread for Visual Site Designer, but you are talking about Password Wizzard. Which programme are you using when you by previewing just get the html code?

And, have you got the site uploaded somewhere, so that you could give us an URL?

It happens in visual site designer. No, I do not have the site uploaded. Do you think I should try downloading a fresh copy of vsd?

Since I've never heard of this error before, I think I would uninstall the version of VSD that you have and download it again and do a clean install, yes.

Also, I'd run Ccleaner before the re-install.

I found out what I did...The internet was reset to the default settings and that meant that html pages were displayed in wordpad. What a job that was trying to debug the problem. Thanks for all the help.
