FM8 crashing upon showing all conditions.

[Flato, Gillian]

I had that problem a few months ago. Check the directory where the files are kept. Delete all of the lock files.
Before viewing all of the conditions, update your book. Delete any lock (*.lck) files, than view the conditions. That worked for me.

Thank you,

Subject: FM8 crashing upon showing all conditions.

Hello Everybody,
I'm really at a loss here.
I'm hoping someone can help.

I have a file (actually a few), which when I try to show all conditions crashes the entire FM book. It also crashes when I open the file on its own and try to show all conditions.
This usually happens with files that have a visio object embedded.
Or with my Revision History file which may have old revisions with x-refs that are no longer relevant.

Apart from driving me crazy, I'm having incredible trouble (trouble's not the word, I can't create PDFs this way) creating PDFs this way. My only alternative is to send the corrupted file to a co-worker, have them open the file and then save it with all conditions showing. (MIF wash does not help).

Any other ideas?
And yes, I've installed the Windows Hotfix - my IT fellow is at a loss too.

I'm running FM 8.277 from the
Adobe Technical Suite

On a Laptop with:
XP 2002 SP2
Intel Core2 CPU
1.83 GHz, 2.00GB RAM

BR,
