I've been running Adobe FrameMaker 8 quite successfully under Windows Vista under Parallels 5 under Snow Leopard for some months. After a 2 week hiatus, during which I installed build 5.0.9344, this morning I cannot save FM files on my Mac. I get a message like this: "Preface.fm.XXX that FrameMaker wrote may be damaged," where XXX is a random set of hex digits. Nothing is written, not even the so-called damaged file. Thankfully, my original file is still OK.
I can open FM files that I have previously saved on my Mac, automatically backed up through Time Machine. I can also save FM files directly under Windows and other applications can save files through PSF.
My initial diagnosis is that somehow the update of Parallels Desktop has affected FrameMaker. I haven't made any changes to FM recently. I've reinstalled Parallels Tools and rebooted Windows, to no avail. I've created a new shared folder, but again no success.
FM is a quirky program. So this update may have triggered an obscure FM networking problem, which I still have to investigate.
In the meantime, any suggestions as to what might have caused this problem in Parallels Desktop?
