I am not sure I understand the sequence.  Let me know if I am wrong.
You create a picture  in a paint program that has text in it. You then
display this picture in AD with the Picture Frame module.  If you display
the picture with AD before using ATM, the Mac will crash when AD kicks in.
If ATM has been used, then the Mac will not crash.  Is this correct?

What paint program are you using?
