I am a retired technical writer who cannot afford to upgrade to a later version.
I have been using Framemaker to write my autobiography on an older computer running Windows XP. I purchased a newer computer running Windows 7 Professional that has the ability to set up a windows virtual PC. I finally figured out the way to get it to work over the weekend, and installed Framemaker 5.5 and my Epson XP-420 printer. I am able to make a file and print it, The problem is trying to save the file so that I can integrate it with the many other files I have saved to a portable drive using my old XP computer. When I connect this drive to the Windows 7 it is fully recognized as a separate drive. When I open the files, the titles are shown. Of course, because the software is not recognized by Windows 7 Professional, the actual files are not shown. Here is the problem. When I am in wndows virtual PC and go to save a file in the portable drive I get the following: \\tsclient\J on Entire Network with MyBackup in the center. When I attempt to open MyBackup I get a list of very old programs with a question: Do I want to convert? I feel sure this is generated by Framemaker 5.5 because of the age of the programs. In other words it does not recognize Framemaker as an option. It seems I have no option to save a file generated within windows virtual PC to an external device. If there is a way, I would like to hear it. Thanks. _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
