"FrameMaker has detected a problem and must quit" Really?!

[Ken Poshedly]

Syed,

In our case:

* The C-drive is the hard drive on our own desktop computer and is where FM is 
installed.
* The network drive is not a partition of the desktop hard drive, but instead a 
separate physical hard drive configured to be one of several in my company's 
network of drives.

So now my coworker will do all his work locally on his own desktop and then 
place the completed FM chapter on the network drive as an archive file.

Seriously? I can understand network-based locations causing issues, but I have 
_never_ seen a problem where an executable (FrameMaker or otherwise!) is on one 
drive and the “data” files are on a separate drive _on the *same* system_.
 
In fact, I do this right now – my C drive is the usual location for all 
executables (FrameMaker, Office, compilers, etc.) and my E drive contains all my 
other files (including the books and files I work on).

And, I do not have any problems with this setup whatsoever. I am surprised that 
Adobe thinks that this would be a problem in any way! If really accurate, this 
would be a strange, and completely unacceptable, artificial constraint.
