- Since the file has crashed (perhaps several times) it could by now 
well be corrupted.
- FMP always had issues (or at least I had issues) when transferring a 
file for printing/preview from one system to the next. Go into layout 
mode and double check that the background doesn't go outside printing 
margins or across part-boundaries.
- try creating a layout without the picture, can you print that? If you 
can then you have to try to recreate your background in a different way. 
Perhaps not pasting it onto the layout, but import it in a global 
container field. Then use the field als background.
