Re: Can't open FrameMaker 7.2 - resolved
Thanks for all those who replied. I tried rebooting several times, and running the repair process of the installer. It did not help. Eventually I bit the bullet and uninstalled Frame and reinstalled, and it worked. The uninstaller gave me the option to keep my settings, which I did. After reinstalling I still have my cudspan tools. There was one file with ESC shortcut keys that I had customized and it got overwritten, but I have a backup. The only problem I noticed (so far) is that I can't scroll. I've seen solutions for that on the list. I'll work on that later. -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Dov Isaacs wrote: Try rebooting your system first. There may be some resource which is oversubscribed or locked.

RE: Can't open FrameMaker 7.2
We have found in FM 7.0 that FrameMaker creates a bunch of temporary files that accumulate in the temp directory under the user profile. Eventually some limit is reached and FM stops working. You can run disk cleanup within Windows or create a batch file to delete these and FM will work again.

RE: Can't open FrameMaker 7.2
I agree that rebooting is usually a good idea and often solves the problem. But I think it depends on the company that makes the software. I've fixed a number of problems by completely uninstalling and reinstalling MS sofware, particularly MS Office. Another common culprit is anti-virus software. Shmuel, if rebooting does not work, try turning your anti-virus software off and see what happens when you launch FM. Symantec slowed things down so much on my system that some files took 10 minutes to open and some would not open at all. And my system is almost new with a high end CPU and lots of RAM.
