Hi David, <br><br>
I've encountered the same hanging issue when using the mouse to select
with FM 7.0 on Win 7 64-bit. Never had that problem with Win XP either.
My solution, when I need to use FM 7, is to "not do that" as
much as possible. I've pretty much trained myself to use keyboard
selection (and save a lot). My hands still mess up from time-to-time.
I've noticed that it happens more when you hesitate or pause a bit longer
during the mouse-drag selection. It usually works if you are quick about
it--but still not worth hanging with no .recover file if you haven't
saved recently.<br><br>
I don't have this problem with FM 10 on Win 7 64-bit, and I've tried it
with a long pause during the drag just to be sure.<br><br>
I don't minimize windows much (2 big displays), so I don't know about
that.<br><br>

I’ve seen the same thing when highlighting with a mouse with my
installation of FM 8 on Win 7 64-bit. I don’t recall ever having that
problem in all the years I used FM 8 on Win XP.<br>
<br>
I don’t think this really fixed it, but I did find that I was missing an
update. I believe the latest version is 8.0p277. Make sure you have
that.<br>
<br>
If you find a solution, please let us know.<br>
<br>
I’ve not noticed the minimize window problem.<br>
