Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

I had some problems with FM 7.2 on Windows 7. It would crash every now and then, mostly when I highlighted text. After installing it on a new computer with Windows 64-bit 8.1 I have had no problems. I run it in standard mode, no compatibility. Ragnar Hanas Uddevalla Hospital Sweden

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

This is one of the many reasons that I use a Mac. I've got VMs (Fusion) of various versions of Windows so I can run older software on the OS it was intended to run on. I can upgrade my hardware and continue to keep XP, Win7, etc., around for the software that runs best on each platform. No

At risk of getting flamed left, right and center, and with due respect for Art, I'd just point out that FrameMaker 7 for Mac still runs like a train on my 2003 MDD Mac dual PowerPC under Classic (the OS 9 emulator). I've long since upgraded, but certainly not because of FrameMaker. I've done

You can make Windows XP Mode work on Windows Home, but Dell Latitude = Windows Pro / Enterprise / Ultimate. On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 12:13 PM, Jeff Coatsworth wrote: > Yes, but you need to have a sufficiently "high-powered" version of Win7 (Pro > or Enterprise, I

Yes, but you need to have a sufficiently "high-powered" version of Win7 (Pro or Enterprise, I forgot now) to be able to get access to the Win VM. -Original Message- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces+jeff.coatsworth=jonasclub@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Robert Lauriston

Is your old PC running 32-bit Windows? It should be 64-bit, if it has 8GB, but people make mistakes. On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 10:06 AM, Kevin Ryan wrote: > Thanks to all for the tips. > > Initially I thought David's first suggestion had it nailed because I had

Thanks to all for the tips. Initially I thought David's first suggestion had it nailed because I had not installed the applicable "7.2 to p158" update from Adobe. My attempt to do so today met with a roadblock "GetDiskSpaceFailed" error. However, I don't think the lack of this update is

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Not Responding on New PC

Did they switch you from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows? The latter is much less compatible with legacy software. You might try XP Mode. It's a virtual machine running XP within Windows 7. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7 On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at

I had the same problem a couple of years ago with FM 7 (installed originally on computer with XP. Our IT people tried several of these fixes but none did more than slightly reduce the crash frequency. When we upgraded to FM 12, the problem went away. I was later told that FM 7 didn't play well

Just spit-balling, but try these, in order, until you no longer see the crash (this will take days to work through, if you want to make a valid test at each stage): * Ensure that you've installed all updates, in order. * If you work off a network share, try working locally and

Hi, After using my older version of FrameMaker on Windows 7 without issues on a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop for several years, my company just replaced my laptop with a new Latitude E6540, also having Windows 7. I've recently begun using the program on the new PC for the first time since
