[Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

[Schmidt, Tom]

I have same problem and here's the best fix I've found...


1.      Go to the Task Manager
2.      Click the Processes tab
3.      Find DWM.exe, and end task on that file. (Might have to end task on it twice, but rarely.)

FM recovers without having to close program.

I blush to admit that I am still using FM 7. I used it professionally for a long time, and produced many technical and academic texts with it, despite the hassles of getting colleagues to deal with PDF commenting; but as a retired person I don't need and can't justify any upgrade.
Anyway, the point is that only under Win 10 (which I hate for many other
reasons) do I have this problem: if I hold down the left mouse button for anything that FM apparently considers "too long", FM freezes. I'm trying to train myself to use the cursor keys more than I used to, but it's still a pain.

I don't expect Adobe to produce a fix for FM 7, but it would be interesting to see where the problem is coming from.
