FM8 crashing like it's Word

[Orly Zimmerman]

HI All,
I have been struggling with this problem for a while too and always thought that I just did not have enough memory.

In any case, now I have 3GB RAM and it still crashes too often.
FM 8 (p.277) from the Adobe Technical Suite 1.0 on a laptop, Windows XP, 32 bit system, 2.53 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM - I did see an improvement (i.e. fewer crashes) when I moved from 2GB RAM to 3GB RAM, but FM still crashes too often.

There are two types of crashes - one, apparently when there are obvious missing cross references - because there have been systematic crashes when opening/closing my Revision history chaps - which are always short chapters with no figures, but lots of x-refs (always in tables) and some are always hidden, due the nature of our books. I understand that there is a bug that reports these hidden x-refs in tables as unresolved when updating the book (as reported by the error log file). If I do a search for unresolved x-refs in my book, however, no unresolved x-refs are found.

The other type of crash has to do with whether I have "embedded" visios - this apparently can drive FM crazy - although I'm not sure why. I try to save the visios with the latest Visio version I have on my laptop -assuming this will help for some reason.

If all else fails, usually, a MIF wash solves the problem, so I have scripts to save all my book files as MIFs and save all the MIF's back to FM.

BR,
Orly.
