Illustrator CS3 crashes when file opened

However I try to open any illustrator file the app crashes. Has been running smoothly for ages. Have run through suggested things like removing prefs - and have reinstalled from disk but still the same problem... HELP
(Running the latest OSX)

I have the same problem,
Nini Tjäder, "Illustrator crashes when opening an .ai document" #1, 26 Nov 2008 2:18 pm
as do several other people in the office where I work. The supposed solution of trashing the Preferences folder does no good at all. There is something seriously wrong with AI CS3 on Mac and Adobe doesn't seem to know or care. Why is that?

Illustrator CC - CRASHES when creating/opening new document.

My Illustrator CC crashes when:
- when I open any *.ai file saved on my disk
- when I try to create new file
I can open the Illustrator (blank, without any document) but as soon as I want to open some document or create (File/New) it crashes immediatelly wit "Illustrator stopped responding" and it closes.
I tried to reinstall it but it didnt help.
I have brand new (got it for 10 days) PC with Windows 8.1
Yesterday Illustrator worked without a problem. Today it just can not run.
Please help. Thank you

Pablo,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Photoshop CS3 crashes on File Open (related to Version Cue)

Hi all,
I found some threads on PS crashing on file opening, but none of these were describing my issue, nor were the suggested fixes working.
Here is what happens:
PS opens fine. I can open a file in PS if I open it from Bridge (or Explorer). If I select 'File > Open' in the PS menu however, the open file dialog attempts to open, but hangs and that's it. I can not escape out of it, and if I click close in the system tray it says PS is 'Not Responding' and sends an error message to Microsoft.
This is what fixes it:
In 'preferences' - if I disable Version Cue, Photoshop works perfectly again. Only thing is, I need to use Version Cue!
Anybody else have this issue? Any ideas for fixes???
Thanks all,
Anne

Memory address issues can be tough to track down. Often, they will occur when a program either mis-reports the memory addresses used, or tells the OS that it has released them, when it has not.
Though written with video editing in mind, there still might be some tips for setting up your computer, in this ARTICLE. If you have Win7, please look down-thread for Black Viper's tuning page.
Now, Adobe programs have always been great at reporting their memory usage, but it could still happen - I've just never encountered it over the decades.
Good luck,
Hunt

Illustrator CS3 crashing when print on epson 2100

I 'm newer to using illustrator CS3, actually when i print fron illustrator CS3 on Epson 2100 Inkjet it's crashing, application closed. I've trashed the .plist... i have created a new system account and the problem is resolved but after 4/5 press it is returned. Indesign CS3 and photoshop CS3 are ok. Mac OS X 10.5.4. MacPro.

I am not all that great with computers so I apologize in advance for my ignorance! The first thread you linked seems like would help but I don't even know how to get to where it's telling me to go...
"I had the same problem but this worked for me..
remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
then re start Illustrator and try printing again"
I got to the OS/Library/printers but then after that... I just see all my printers... nothing that says PPD or contents. This may be such a stupid question for you guys but again I am not great with this kind of stuff so thank in advance for any help! I am already so aggravated with lion, I am considering going back... ughh!

Illustrator CS3 crashes when trying to place an item

I'm running CS3 on an iMac running OS 10.5.8.
Just recently (the past few days) my Illustrator has been crashing when I attempt to place a file. I've attempted to place a variety of files (.jpg, .eps, .PSD) and usually Illustrator would crash after selecting the file to be placed. Now it is crashing upon selecting 'Place' from the 'File' menu.
I attempted this fix (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402521.html) and it did not resolve the issue. I also checked to see if possible it was trying to open a directory that no longer exists when I choose 'Place' from the 'File' menu, but that also is not the issue.
Any input on what could be wrong? Thank you!

Thank you for that link! While none of the 'technical' suggestions worked (replacing files in the Version Cue folders in Library/Application Support) a lower-tech solution has seemed to work. Simple disable Version Cue in the preferences panel of Illustrator (I'm not using it anyway). So far so good! Who would have known such a low-tech solution would work!
Thanks again & I'll report if this seems to be a permanent solution or not. I just find it strange that Illustrator just started behaving this way when I don't believe Adobe Updater has updated my CS3 in over a month.

Illustrator CS3 crashes when changing locations during save or place. Mac, Yosemite

After updating to Yosemite and fixing the initial problem of not being able to open Illustrator (installing older Java). Illustrator now crashes every time I try to select a location to save a file. If I save without changing the file location it's not an issue. It also crashes when I want to PLACE a file and I try to navigate to the location.
MacBook Pro (2012), OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite).
Adobe Illustrator CS3 (Yeah, I know).
Changing fonts doesn't seem to be a problem. Large files are OK. It's only when navigating to a location using a drop down menu in the SAVE AS or PLACE dialog box.
Any ideas of what might be wrong?

New information: I switched to the adobe dialog format and it fixed my issue. I'm leaving this here in case anyone else runs into this. However, I wouldn't mind finding out why it won't work the the OS dialog.

Illustrator CS3 crashes when selecting a swatch from the swatches palette

Hello, i am using a G5 platform to run CS3. in any file i open or create, when i try to apply a swatch to an object, the second i select it from the swatches palette, my Illustrator crashes. In other words, i can't work at all.
I've tried trashing the preferences, restarting the computer, nothing seems to work.
Help?
thanks.

When trashing your preferences
1. Did you first quit Illustrator?
2. Did you trash the whole Adobe Settings folder or just the preference file?
3. Did you run the color sync utility to see if you have corrupt color profiles.
4. Did you repair the Permission with the disk utility
5. Did you check to see if you have corrupt fonts?

Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) crashes when file opens (Windows 7 x64 Pro)

Did a recent install of Windows 7 x64 Pro and installed Adobe Web Suite and updated all adobe programs. When I use photoshop to open a file, the file opens then photoshop hangs and windows says it has stopped responding then closes. This is a fresh install of windows...
I used drivermax to backup drivers from a previous install and install those drivers on the new install. After that I installed the newest graphics drivers via nvidia's website.
I installed all updates for the suite then I cleared my preferences, none of this worked.
Please let me know where I can find the crash log and any other logs so I can post that info here.
Message was edited by: Angryp00nani - added things I have tried to solve the issue

I would do exactly as Curt suggests, and check out Event Viewer. This ARTICLE goes into more detail about what to look for. Be sure to follow every link, in every warning, or error message. Do not get frustrated with warning and error messages, that are 100% code - just look for one written in words that you can understand, and especially with any, that have links.
Good luck,

Valid svg file not rendered properly Illustrator CS3: Place or File open messes up svg

Hi I have a svg file for a chemical molecule that is validated as valid SVG by the w3c validator. Firrefox, google chrome and inkscape , as well as other svg applications open and render the file just fine.
However adobe illustrator renders the characters in the file some 600% bigger than they need to be.
This seems to be a bug in the svg rendering , given that the svg file works in the other programs mentioned. Can anyone tell me how to get the molecule read in correctly into Adobe Illustrator
. I am attaching a screenshot of the molecule as read into Adobe Illustrator and the svg file itself. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS3 on Windows XP
Thanks
Hari

w3c validation report:

If svg is not a reliable format for this purpose I need to use eps or ps or pdf as the format for the content.
SVG is "reliable", you just need to make it Illustrator SVG, which much to the chagrin of most users is a completely different thing than web-compliant SVG. Hence people use Inkscape as an intermediate workflow in such cases. If you simply save the file from AI, you can easily see what changes it makes and how it likes the formatting and entities so if you have control over the source code of your app, I don't see what would be the difficulty an adjusting it??? I mean, EPS and PDF won't negate that fact, either - to render correctly in AI, it needs to follow its somewhat odd way of handling some format specs. You could produce a PDF that is 100% perfect as per the spec, but it could still look like crap in AI, so I'm realyl not sure what you are trying to prove here...

Illustrator cs3 crashes when I save on a PC

I am a student and i am working on illustrator cs3 and a couple of days ago, i tried to save my work and the program freezed. Since i didn't have any response form the program i had to end its task. Can somebody help me fix this problem since i have to finish my work for the mid-terms that are coming up very soon?
a.

a,
Another suggestion: Preference corruptions create many strange issues.
You may try to Ctrl+Alt+Shift during startup of Illy, or use the instructions in the hint Move the folder.
The former is simpler, the latter is capable of solving more issues, and it reversible so you do not lose your preference settings in vain if it does not work.

Illustrator CS3 crashing when opening file

Whenever I open any AI file the file instantly closes before I can do anything to it.
It started when I was working on a project and tried to save it and it said "an unknown error has occured" and I'm pretty sure its because I had the Zune software open and Zune and AI don't get along
So I lost all of my work, but now I can't even open what I already had done because it crashes
I heard that fonts can cause this issue, I worked on my project on a Mac with different fonts then transfered it over to my PC and of course it couldn't find them so it just replaced them with a font that my PC knew
could this relate to anything?
What can I do so that AI will be able to open my files? thank you!

Jet,
Have you tried creating a new document and placing the troublesome file in it (ticking Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers flyout options)?
Otherwise, you may try to Move the folder or look at the Other options

My illustrator CC crashes when I open a new file? How can I fix this?

DW CS3 crashes when closing open pages/tabs

So, I have no rhyme or reason for why this happens, but it happens often. When I have open pages I am working on - 1, 2, 5, 8, 10 - it does not matter, and I go to either (1) command W or (2) hit the little close "x" on the open page/tab.. sometimes DW just crashes. Like I said, there is no pattern to when and if it will crash, no pattern to if it happens if I click the "x" or try Control W and no pattern if I have 2 pages or 10 pages open.
The real outcome issue here, besides just the simple PITA factor for such a costly high end app to be doing this, is that I can no longer "undo" anything I was editing.
Any ideas on why or how to fix?

Have you put that particular page through the validators to see if there are other issues on the page - just to be sure. I've truly not heard of such a thing happening when using width auto.....

Illustrator cs3 crashing when trying to print... maybe linked to Lion?

Everytime I try to print something in illustrator, the program is crashing... so annoying! Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I am having to save it as a PDF and then open it in preview in order to print it.

I am not all that great with computers so I apologize in advance for my ignorance! The first thread you linked seems like would help but I don't even know how to get to where it's telling me to go...
"I had the same problem but this worked for me..
remove adobe PDF PPD from the following folders:
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj,
OS/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj,
then re start Illustrator and try printing again"
I got to the OS/Library/printers but then after that... I just see all my printers... nothing that says PPD or contents. This may be such a stupid question for you guys but again I am not great with this kind of stuff so thank in advance for any help! I am already so aggravated with lion, I am considering going back... ughh!

InDesign 5.5 crashing when file open or export command

I've done the CMD+CTRL+OPT+SHIFT upon launch... still crashing. I've recently upgraded to Yosemite. My PhotoShop & Illustrator SEEM to be working OK. Any other options? Should I delete it entirely and reload InDesign. Really need to get to my program... falling behind. ;-(

Probably best to upgrade to CC.
