Re: FM 5.5 --> 6.0 file crashes Frame when trying to update path tographic

[James Eric Lawson <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have sufficient administrative control of your Windows XP system,
you might try setting up directories and installing the FM files in exact
mimicry of the original Windows NT pathnames.  If that resolves the
immediate problem, I would proceed to import the image files, rather than
referencing them.
