I've been running Adobe FrameMaker 8 quite successfully under Windows Vista under Parallels 5 under Snow Leopard for some months. After a 2 week hiatus, during which I installed build 5.0.9344, this morning I cannot save FM files on my Mac. I get a message like this: "Preface.fm.XXX that FrameMaker wrote may be damaged," where XXX is a random set of hex digits. Nothing is written, not even the so-called damaged file. Thankfully, my original file is still OK. I can open FM files that I have previously saved on my Mac, automatically backed up through Time Machine. I can also save FM files directly under Windows and other applications can save files through PSF. My initial diagnosis is that somehow the update of Parallels Desktop has affected FrameMaker. I haven't made any changes to FM recently. I've reinstalled Parallels Tools and rebooted Windows, to no avail. I've created a new shared folder, but again no success. FM is a quirky program. So this update may have triggered an obscure FM networking problem, which I still have to investigate. In the meantime, any suggestions as to what might have caused this problem in Parallels Desktop?
Many thanks, that solved the problem. However, the installation did not run smoothly. First Parallels Desktop crashed when I tried connecting to the ISO hotfix image. Then after re-installing the Parallels Tools and rebooting Windows, I got the message 'This copy of Windows is not genuine'. This disappeared after a second reboot. Paul
