Layouts Crashing -- Help

["Bob Jagow" <bjagow@xxxxxxx>]

I decided to redo [mostly split up] some 8.52 EOD MF layouts and, to date,
have mostly crashes [access viol at 42cca0 if it matters] when I open them.
  Never had a problem setting up or opening the original layouts [comprised
of up to 35 issues],  but encountered problems this time even in
sequentially creating 10-20 charts [had to add them a few at a time].

1-Have to this point not embraced the 7.xx EOD updates -- should I?
2-Haven't fenced with/played the blame game with George for years -- is it
now worthwhile and, if so, what and where [here, somewhere else, or telco]
works best?


TIA,
Bob
