Frame crashes when print to .ps

[LG Lists]

FM 8 (as part of TCS 2), no updates available
Win XP
 
I have two books that share all the same chapter files that have lots of
conditions. I inherited all of the content, but created the separate books
to handle different covers (was too hard to use conditions; long story).
 
The last 3 times I've tried generate PDFs, I've had the same problem. After
I set the conditions as I want for the book and print to .ps (yes, I always
use the old-fashioned print to .ps, then distill process), FM crashes. 
 
The only thing that I've found that works to get the crashing to stop feels
like I have to "train" FM that it's OK to print these files to .ps. I open
each file in the book individually and print to .ps. After I do that for
each file (with no problems at any time doing so), both books will print
just fine.
 
I did this just yesterday, made a few minor changes today, and got the
crashing again. 
 
Other things I've also tried, but did not work:
 

*	Rebooting my computer


*	Washing all files in the book with MIF


*	Removing missing graphics (were lots of those hidden in conditions
I'm not currently using)


This is just maddening, as I keep having to work in these books and create
PDFs. Any ideas out there for a final solution?
 
Thanks!!!
