FM8 crashes

[Charlie Kyle]

XP SP2, Pentium 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM
Tech Com Suite 1.3, FM 8.0p277

With Outlook and FM open, FM seems to crash for no reason and I often
get very sluggish performance in Outlook. Users around me report no slow
down in their Outlook.

Has anyone else had problems running FM8 concurrently with MS Office or
other programs? Would a faster processor make a significant difference?

Thanks,
Charlie Kyle
