I had to update my compter from windows xp to windows 7.

Since that update, i am not able installing the framemaker 6 programme anymore.

Are there any possibilities to solve this problem?

I don't want to write all my documents again in word.

    Which Edition of Windows 7, what CPU and how much RAM? 32- or 64-bit mode?

    I have the windows 7 professional version and the 64-bit-modus.

    I use an AMD Athlon II CPU with 3.20 Ghz and 4.00 GB RAM

    See:

    Apparently you can still download and install XPM, and Windows Update for XP is still on-line, albeit frozen at 2014-04-08.

    If your CPU passes the compatibility test, be sure to locate and download the AMD Hammer hotfix before installing XPM.

    All that said, I cannot guarantee that FM6 will install and run in XPM. I haven't even gotten around to installing FM7 on XPM at home.
