Template problem

[MTBradley]

My databases have been buggy today- the Filemaker icon does not appear, nor do my plugins appear in my Preference panel. Also, the application crashes if I try to go into the "Fonts" tab in the Preference panel.

Although I haven't managed to reproduce the message, at one point I was told that I need to run Installer to add missing English templates. I can't find a copy of anything called Installer on my computer and I found an English language pack and Installer at Filemaker's "Support" page, but it was for version 7.

I hope this is enough information to indicate the nature of my problem. If I can add anything else please let me know; any and all help is appreciated!

It sounds like a very sick computer.

Run Disk Utility see if the hard disk needs repairing. Then re-install FileMaker Pro.

Thanks for the help. I run Disk Utility regularly. I'll give the reinstall a try.
