FM 8 crashes again and again

[Andersen, Verner Engell VEA]

Fair enough
I include my system details below.

I suspect that my problem has to do with the Framemaker source files as the rest is unchanged from FM version 7.2 apart from my Windows Service pack 3.
In particular Fm crashes when encountering files with text insets in tables on master pages or sometimes when I change the object properties on body pages and remove the "room for sidehad setting"

My system settings:

Windows xp sp 3
FM8.0p277
2 GB ram
756 MB virtual memory
Acrobat Profession 7.2
Files on server
Graphics are .png imported by reference
Lots of text insets used by several books

Best regards,

Verner

On my systems, 8 is more stable than 7 was, especially on book actions. 9 is also fine.

Given others' experiences, I'd guess that your problems are caused by one or more things in your environment, but you didn't provide any details.

If you provide some details on your system (FM and Acrobat versions, OS, RAM, temp space) and your environment (files local or on a server, type of graphics and imported by reference or copied, and so on) I'm sure the usual suspects would be happy to generate some things to look at.
