[Jeff Coatsworth]

I believe it's fixed in FM10

Thank you, for your attention. It appears others have this same issue with the paragraph designer etc.

I have had my T5500, 64 bit, Win7 for about 6 mo. The first T5500 I purchased was crashing all the time so Dell replaced it and upgraded from a dual to a quad and added 4 g of ram to make the 12 g and upgraded the graphics card... trying to keep their customer happy.

I have more RAM than our old server did. Too bad Adobe is non-responsive; they should post a fix.
If anyone at any time finds a solution to this "Adobe" bug I would appreciate an e-mail.

Thank you again for your time and response, I really appreciate this forum.

And I didn't mean to overstate my response, Fred. I do appreciate what you bring to us here. I'm usually keeping a close eye on the list and try to pitch in if I suspect I can say something useful. Of course, I've been known to miscalculate now and then :)

I didn't mean to chase you back to lurkdom, Jim. Really! I was just trying to keep things reasonably on-point.

-Fred

Astute, as usual, Fred. I'll return to lurkdom, for the time being, duly corrected. I sympathize with Karen: It's unfortunate that anyone with a setup as robust as hers appears to be has to struggle with the functionality problems she outlines.

I'm afraid it may not be worth very much as a data point, because there is a world of difference between Windows XP and any 64-bit version of Windows Vista or (more likely in Karen's case because she does refer to a "new Dell") Windows 7. When the issue is the stability (or lack thereof) of an application, the specific version of the OS is likely to be at least as much a factor as any of the hardware details with the possible exception of the amount of RAM. And the migration from 32-bit to 64-bit addressing was a major change that seems to have caused compatibilty and/or stability issues with a lot of apps.

FWIW, I've been using FM 9 with these specs at work since December, and I've never run into the bug you're experiencing:

Dell Precision T3400
Win XP SP 3
80GB HD
2.67 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
4096 kilobyte secondary memory cache (3.3 GB usable installed memory)
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded

I'm habitually running Office 2003, Acrobat X, and Illustrator CS 5 and half a dozen other things. My FM 9 books incorporate AutoCad and Inventor graphics, often run twice as large as yours. I sometimes don't reboot for a week at a time.

I'm skeptical of Dell's allegation in your case.

HTH,
Jim

Has anyone else had this issue?

I have a new Dell,  64 bit, 12G RAM, 500 hd - 1g video on card, graphics card Navidia Quatro 2000 card,

Office 2010, Acrobat 9 - InDesign CS4

I usually run with 1 small doc open in Word and one explorer window open.

FrameMaker 9 (all updates) files are line art and text, 30 to 60 pages.
After a couple of hours of work the panels stop working. I can click on any icon and nothing works. So have to close out files and log back in FrameMaker. It will work for a while longer and then I have to reboot and start the cycle over.

Dell has tried everything and nothing works.  They say it's a FrameMaker bug...

Would appreciate any assistance, and thank you in advance.
Karen M
