new computer woes

[leah]

Good morning all you mavens,
 
I just got a new computer a work. this is a good thing. However, the usual
niggly frustrations have reared their ugly little heads. So I need some
guidance.
 
I am using FrameMaker 7.0
 
After last computer changer and much hard work, I got the scroll wheel to
scroll in FM, now it doesn't. Before I get lots of e-mails sending me to a
very old logitech driver, I tried that last time and the driver does not
support all the buttons on my mouse. I honestly do not remember how I solved
the problem last time. Help!
 
Every time I try to open a document (and I am a lone writer with no file
sharing with anyone and in fact I open docs from my local hard disk) I get a
dialog Cannot Lock File - that informs me that FM cannot lock the file for
my use. If I continue and open the file, it is impossible to simply save it,
have to do Save As.  I unchecked the box for Enable workgroup functionality
(File>Preferences>Workgroup).  Help!
 
I have not seen the annoying Missing Fonts message for years. Now it is
back. I unchecked the Remember Missing Fonts box , but to no avail. Help!
 
TIA,
