SARPC RO 6.20
Some thoughts, advice please.

I've recently done a Sys Merge to update some modules to work with the
freeware versions of Fireworks.
The merge appears to have gone ok. 
But...

FPEmulator 4.22 is in ROM and should have been made dormant and replaced
with a soft load FPEmulator 4.28, but it has not.

Any attempt to Kill or Unplug FPE 4.22 results in the machine failing as
it auto processes through and ends all background system stuff, requiring
a back button reset.

FWIW: As far as possible, before attempting... All user background and
foreground running apps have been quit, leaving only Sys stuff running
background.

A lot of Trap handler and undefined instruction error messages arrive,
I've pasted in a few below.

********************************************

This hardware SARPC has an identical backup on a VRPC-AdjustSA (Win XP)
and the same process was undertaken on that, and the merge went correctly,
making  the FPE 4.22 Dormant and activating the softload 4.28

Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Dave
