Form Won't Display - Page 1 - Post ID...

Hi All, I just downloaded full version of form builder (2.3.5217). I tried to manually export the files to show the form on my intranet site. I copied the folder and form.php page to the right directory, pasted the code to the proper webpage (between the body tags), run the page (on firefox and IE), and nothing happens. I can see the scroll bars telling me the form page is too long, but I can't see the actual form. When I preview in firefox (from within form builder), it works fine. When I publish the form to the coffee cup S drive and paste the code into the webpage, it works fine. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm running windows 8 by the way. I just spent all this money for this software and I can't get it to work right.
Thanks,
Dave

Can we have a link to the form?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi Eric,
Sure, here is the link (on the S drive)... http://bospats33.coffeecup.com/forms/test/
I'm very frustrated! I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
Thanks,
Dave

That's what I'm saying. It works on the S drive, but when I upload the files to my localhost (intranet), I can't see the form. Here's the code that I'm pasting:

<script type="text/javascript">document.write(unescape("%3Ciframe id=\"fb_iframe\" src=\"test.php" + window.location.search + "\" width=\"302\" height=\"378\"allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"%3E&lt;a href=\"test.php\" title=\"test\"&gt;Check out my CoffeeCup Form&lt;/a&gt;%3C/iframe%3E"));</script>
<noscript>
<iframe width="302" height="378" style="border:none; background:transparent; overflow:hidden;"
id="fb_iframe" src="test/test.html">
&lt;a href="test.php" title="test"&gt;Check out my CoffeeCup Form&lt;/a&gt;
</iframe>
</noscript>
I put the files in the right folder (they are in the same folder as the html file).
Please Help

The broken form is on my localhost (intranet)...you won't be able to see it. It's in a directory where all my other pages view ok though. This is the only one I'm having problems with.

Gotcha,
Make sure the directroy structure is setup correctly.
root/contact.html ***Location of script***
root/myformname.php ***location of formname.php***
root/myformname/ *****all the rest of the files***

Thanks, this is how it is set up and it's still not working:
(directory) c:/xampp/htdocs/forbidden/budget
(html file where the form script is pasted:) c:/xampp/htdocs/forbidden/budget/allen.html
(location of form:) c:/xampp/htdocs/forbidden/budget/budgetform.php
(location of form files:) c:/xampp/htdocs/forbidden/budget/budgetform

Please Help
PS: I even tried just putting all files on my desktop and that didn't work either.

Try cleaning up the embed script that the form builder uses and make it a plain iframe without the script.
<iframe width="302" height="378" style="border:none; background:transparent; overflow:hidden;" id="fb_iframe" src="budget/budget.html"></iframe>
