David,

I think this is more a PC issue, not a FrameMaker problem. When I googled
"Unable to uninitialize DDE", I was reminded that DDE means Dynamic Data
Exchange. This Web page has more info than you probably want:
http://www.angelfire.com/biz/rhaminisys/ddeinfo.html.

Then I googled "FrameMaker DDE", and am guessing from the info I found that
there's a problem with some plugin, macro, or application that's integrated
with FrameMaker. If you have anything of that sore, perhaps try disabling
it and see if the DDE error goes away?

Ah, this link,
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Java/comp.lang.java.programmer/2004-02/1
701.html, indeed makes it sound as if you've got "something" running on
your system, maybe a Java app, that prevents FrameMaker from ending the DDE
service.

Another possibility is that the file mapping for filetype .fm is not quite
right: http://wattsworld.com/brain/FrameMaker/index.html.

Sorry I couldn't actually solve the problem; but perhaps these clues can
lead you on your way.

-Monique
