Cannot find the file named...

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi David,

When you mention that the files are o a network, did you also
test when the files are on your local hard drive?
What happens when you double-click on regular FrameMaker
files (not books)? Do you get the error message as well?
Does your boot process take longer and you get differing results
when you try to open directly after restarting Windows and half an hour
later?

Best regards

Winfried
