Whenever I save a Framemaker file, I see a dialog box that states: 

"The path/filename.fm.YYY that Framemaker wrote may be damaged." 

Where YYY is a seemingly random 3 character extension to the .fm file. Please see attached screen shot (.jpg file). 

Mysteriously, this file is not present on the hard drive. In short, I can't save any Framemaker files. 

What's wrong and how do I fix this? 

The computer I am using with FrameMaker 6 was recently completely formatted and rebuilt with Win2K and all service packs. FrameMaker has been installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled numerous times with no change in the problems I have described. Please note that a completely different and separate computer is experiencing the same exact problems of damaged files on save or a FrameMaker crash on save. Also please note that BOTH computers have zero other problems: all drivers and software (other than FrameMaker) are normal. BOTH computers were loaded with software from the original OEM CDs.
