Hi,
I recently had to upgrade my ancient Compaq PC and in the process, IT changed my OS from XP to Windows 7. I have been happily using FM 8 on XP for 3 years, but was willing to learn the new OS. However, shortly after the change, I began to experience a weird phenomena in FM. When I used my mouse to click into text and then drag over any portion of the text to select it for editing deletion, whatever... Frame would freeze. At that point, I tried [Esc] key, but nothing happened. The screen grayed out, except for the little rotating circle and a dialog box informed me that the application was unresponsive. My two options were to wait or to close the application. I tried waiting, but it never resolved. The only other option was to close FrameMaker and lose the edits I had performed since the last Save. I am now clicking into text and using keyboard shortcuts to select text instead of click-and-drag, but this is difficult to remember when I'm working. If I accidentally click-and-drag, it's 50/50 whether it will freeze or not. Sometimes I'm lucky... Has anyone else run into something like this? Thanks.
