<DIV></DIV>I'm afraid it may not be worth very much as a data point, because
there is a world of difference between Windows XP and any 64-bit version of
Windows Vista or (more likely in Karen's case because she does refer to a "new
Dell") Windows 7. When the issue is the stability (or lack thereof) of an
application, the specific version of the OS is likely to be at least as
much a factor as any of the hardware details with the possible exception of the
amount of RAM. And the migration from 32-bit to 64-bit addressing was a major
change that seems to have caused compatibilty and/or stability issues with a lot
of apps.<BR> <BR>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Has anyone else had this issue?</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>I have a new Dell, 64 bit, 12G RAM, 500 hd – 1g
video on card, graphics card Navidia Quatro 2000 card, </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Office 2010, Acrobat 9 – InDesign CS4</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>I usually run with 1 small doc open in Word and one
explorer window open. </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>FrameMaker 9 (all updates) files are line art and text, 30
to 60 pages.</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>After a couple of hours of work the panels stop working. I
can click on any icon and nothing works. So have to close out files and log back
in FrameMaker. It will work for a while longer and then I have to reboot and
start the cycle over.</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Dell has tried everything and nothing works. They
say it’s a FrameMaker bug…</P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal> </P>
<P class=ecxMsoNormal>Would appreciate any assistance, and thank you in advance.
