Windows 7 with all relevant updates. 4 Gigabytes Ram 8 hard drives partitioned over 2 terrabytes
I have been using FM since version 6 and earn my keep with this super program. However, I must agree with Norton which says FM is "slightly unstable, few users." I have done all the normal checks, viz . Chkdsk c:/f on all drives sfc /scannow using elevated prompt full memory check saving files as .mif running FM without any other applications open or other files. Still, the program crashes perhaps three times a day It even crashes without any mouse or keyboard input. >From the event viewer.....

Either FM completely disappears from the screen or I get the mulish and unhelpful message "FM has stopped working". FM then does autosave, but not always. Perhaps Framers can help me with the following 1 Windows 7 and IE 9 and FM 9 are out of sync 2 I should not access multiple files across drives 3 Something to do with ntdll.dll file Any help with this most appreciated Rob Shell _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
