<p>Hello David,</p>
<p>lately I have a similar problem: double-clicking takes verrrry long to start the application and to open the file, whereas the normal Open dialog from within the application works as usual.</p>
<p>This is not always the case, but if, then it happens with any application, also MS Word, Excel and so on. <br />Here it helped to uncheck the DDE option for those file-types (which is not possible for Frame-files), but today I saw that the option is checked again mysteriously.</p>
<p>So my guess about this would be that its rather a problem with the OS or with the network, not necessarily with FrameMaker.<br />FM seems to expect a quick answer from the OS and handles the delay as file error (my interpretation, only a guess).</p>
<p>I am using Windows XP here, by the way.<br />If someone has an explanation to this problem, I would also be very glad.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<pre>Hi, all;
Latest, out-of-the-blue functional bug on FM8.0p277, Win 7:
1) Navigate to working folder for project [just like every day].
2) Double-click BOOK file.
FrameMaker opens, them immediately displays the following message:
"Cannot find the file named __. Make sure that the file exists.
3) Click OK on that message.
4) On the FrameMaker menu, click File > 1 [file_name].
FrameMaker immediately displays the same error message as in step 2,
then FrameMaker displays the Open dialog, at the project folder root
(i.e., last folder to which I wrote files).
5) Double-click the BOOK file in the Open dialog.
The BOOK file opens in FrameMaker.
Same behavior if I try to do the above with a standalone FM file.
I have, over the course of days, installed software that does various
things to interface with the hardware that I am documenting, so it's
possible something went pear-shaped with Windows. I'm *inclined* to
blame FM because (a) Windows knows the BOOK should open Frame, and sends
it to Frame, and only THEN does Frame claim not to find it; and (b) it's
FrameMaker 8. By Adobe. So, yeah....
Any ideas what I could do to repair whatever's gone wrong? I'm comfy
manipulating INI file and the Windows Registry. But I can't reinstall
FM8, though I *have* rolled back and reapplied all patches (p266 is 155
MB, so I imagine it's pretty thoroughly updating everything). This
problem persists through daily reboots.
Thanks in advance;
David
