Hi all you FrameMakers out there! 

My problem is that I can't get FM v7.0 to install and run under Windows ME. I run the installation (under some custom options) and reboot. I launch FM and it loads splash screen, completes all launch routines, then an error message appears that says *something* like "FM will now close, see below for details." Details say "Not valid OS -- not NT". 

To the best of my knowledge, this latest and greatest program is supposed to run under Windows ME, right? Can anyone provide some insight or some what to get my program installed? I do have on old (v5.5.5) installation that I did NOT remove (might that be the problem?). 

Regards, 
-Chris
