The usual recommendation for this is more memory. But I suspect what you need is either a newer version of FM or an older version of Windows. I'm using FM 7.2 on Win 7 (in Win XP SP3 emulation mode), and it's mostly trouble-free. But FM 5.5.6 is way older than that, and I'm surprised it's working on Win 7 at all. I'd suggest getting a copy of Win XP, partitioning your hard disk (or adding a second), and setting up a dual-boot scenario where you can boot into Win XP to run FM or Win 7 to run newer apps. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, your friendly neighborhood computer store can probably fix you up for a reasonable fee. Certainly cheaper than buying FM 10. :-) Richard G.
