Frame crash on Windows under parallels

[Scott Prentice]

I think that the difference here is that this probably *only* happens 
with FM. If it was all (or at least other) apps, then it would likely be 
an OS or VM issue, but if it's just FM, then there's probably something 
slightly incompatible being done in FM that Adobe should be aware of. 
Granted, Adobe doesn't claim to support this environment, but it's 
certainly not an uncommon situation.

I use VMware Fusion to run FM on my Mac, and the only crash I ever see 
that seems VM related is when I'm using FM8 and I flip from Windows to 
Mac while FM is busy doing something. It doesn't crash all of the time 
though .. probably just 5% of the time. I just make a point of saving 
before switching to the Mac OS. I've not seen this with other FM 
versions, nor do I see other VM-related crashes in FM. All in all it's 
far more stable than pre-VM days.

Cheers,

...scott
