Aside from the RAM issue that others have commented on, I go through phases when I get multiple Frame crashes as well (Windows 7, 64bit, 6Gb Ram with FM9 all patched).
The crashes almost always occur when I try to open the Conditional text tab. My books are large but not huge (up to 35 files that create 200-500 page manuals). And the crash cycle comes and goes. Frame can be stable for weeks, even months and then crash for a week, everytime I try to open the Conditional text tab. FYI: I also use Track Edits, which I think is actually just another 2 conditions (essentially "delete text" and "add text"). I've never found a definitive reason for the crashes or a way to fix it. It comes and goes as it chooses. If anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear it.

I get irregular, but multiple crashes in a day, which is getting very annoying. Here's what I know: It's a bog-standard user manual. Document is short (<250pp), uses only a few fonts, two conditions, and a dozen variables. There are three generated files (TOC, IX, and 1 LOP). 320 referenced graphics (.pngs, stored 1 level below the text files). I have been trying to use the "Track edits" feature (no, not the "show changebars", although I have that on as well), and this appears to be the culprit. The other possibility is RAM (only 1GB). So... thoughts? _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as alison.craig at ultrasonix.com. Send list messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com.
