RE: FM 9p255 only uses 25% of CPU no matter what
I am on Win7-64 and have very few problems except for one: If I update a book and book file that had been compressed in the directory, then the book file causes a crash.

FM 9p255 only uses 25% of CPU no matter what
Hi Framers: I have taken to watching FM9 crash using task manager and winternals. What struck me is that no matter what load was put on FM9, it never used more than 25% of the CPU. It hovered at 24.9 but never above. Does that means only one of the four processors is being accessed. All coprocessors are working...

Why does that disturb you? Many, many apps (even current releases) don't take advantage of multiple processors, or of only two (2 or 4 threads). There's little to be gained unless you're doing heavy graphics or video work. Your other processors are available to the other apps you're running at the same time.

FM 10, released more than a year ago, is compatible with Windows 7. But I wouldn't rush to upgrade, because FM 11 will likely be announced soon. It's unrealistic and unreasonable, IMHO, to expect Adobe to release an FM 9.x version that's Windows 7 compatible, or to fix anything other than security issues or other serious bugs. Plus, there are some shocking reviews. None recent, I'd guess, since it's 3+ years old. Richard G.

Re: FM 9p255 only uses 25% of CPU no matter what
Hi Rob, FM9 is compatible with Win7 and I don't see any reason why it runs in WinXP compatibility mode on your PC. Framemaker 9 crashes because it is buggy. I would call it a beta version of Framemaker with the new interface. When I upgraded to FMv10, all the stability issues that you describe almost disappeared. I can't say that FMv10 does not crash at all, but it does so very rarely.
