Did they switch you from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows? The latter is much
less compatible with legacy software.

You might try XP Mode. It's a virtual machine running XP within Windows 7.

I've recently begun using the program on the new PC for the first time since initial setup of my fonts, Mif2go, and Character/Paragraph tools.  FrameMaker seems to work normally except that 2-3 times a day I can pretty much rely on a "FrameMaker Not Responding" freeze-up hosing my work out of the blue.
