I can open FrameMaker 10 through the EXE.

I can open FrameMaker 10 through a .book file.

I can open a .book file from FrameMaker 10.

I cannot open FrameMaker 10 through a .fm file.

I cannot open a .fm file from Framemaker 10.

I've tried multiple .fm files, so this isn't isolated to s sngle corrupted file.

I was using FrameMaker 10 yesterday, but it doesn't work today.

I updated Flash this morning, but have not installed any other programs.

It sounds like the association between .FM files and FrameMaker has been

broken in Windows. In Windows Explorer, try right-clicking a .FM file.

Then choose Open With> Choose Default Program. In the window that pops

up, choose FrameMaker as the program and be sure the "Always use the

selected program to open this kind of file" box is checked.

Windows attempts to open FrameMaker when I try to open the .fm file directly. I get: "Internal Error 10024, 7687848, 7688138, 10076935. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit."

I'm not sure which actions resolved this issue:

I went to: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\10

I moved all files with today's date to another folder on my desktop.

I also contunued to \WorkSpaces\Structured and moved the Structured Authoring.cfws file.

The .fm file opened with no hitches.
