Abiword shuts down opening a file

Abiword 2.4.5 shuts down, when I open a *.doc file, created with Word 2003. I tried different documents, but it's still the same. Abiword closes down without any error message.
When I open the documents with Open Office, I don't have any problem (apart from the ugly font-rendering).
I wondered, whether or not abiword-plugins are needed, so I tried to install them.
pacman -S abiword-plugins
checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
gnome-common: /etc/dbus-1/session.d/gnome.conf: exists in filesystem
gnome-common: /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh: exists in filesystem
gnome-common: /opt/gnome/share/aclocal/gnome-common.m4: exists in filesystem
gnome-common: /opt/gnome/share/aclocal/gnome-compiler-flags.m4: exists in filesystem
errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I open the documents from different locations: USB-stick (vfat) and hd-partition (ext3). Does anybody have similar problems with the up-to date abiword?
Best regards

Issue with Adobe Prox shutting down when combining files

I am having an issue with Adobe. I can open files no problem but when I click to combine multiple files into one pdf, as soon as I try to add the files, it automatically shuts down?

Does it crash on adding specific files or just about any file (try a simple PDF file)

After updating the files, when I try to move them back to their folders, every time I try to scroll down to select the folder to move them to, the app shuts down.

My IMac shuts down when transfering files to a Hard Drive through USB

Hi all,
I have been having trouble with my IMac. It's over 3 years old and I didn't actualized the operative system. Everytime I try to transfer files from the computer to a hard drive or pen drive (through USB), the computer shuts down. Sometimes it restarts, sometimes it gets shut. I wonder what's the issue and if getting a newer operate system (Snow Leopard maybe) will help.
Thanks

Page Action - Shut Down an Extraneous File on "Page Close" trigger

I can open a Notepad (txt editor) on the "Page Open" trigger in Page Properies under Actions.
Does anyone know how to close the same file upon closing the page?
Thank you in advance.

Felix-
Do you have an example that does this? I saw a similar suggestion in another thread, but could not figure out how to detect the event. My only experience with "events" is using an event structure to read button presses an other user inputs on the front panel of a VI.
tbd-
I have not explored using the serial port. I actually need to monitor several UPSs, so a network connection seemed, at the time, like a much simpler approach. I could do that as a last resort, but I am not ready to give up yet.... Since there is no documentation, I would have to install com port monitoring software and try and decode the conversation between the UPS and manufacturer's monitoring software.
As far as extracting the info from the web page, I got as far as the attached VI by reading this thread.
But it still is just getting the HTML fluff, and not the data that the javascript is writing to the screen. It's really annoying, because with this VI, I have a display on the VI front panel in which I can see the string I want to get. It's right there! I can almost touch it! But noooooo, I can't have it
Well, if anyone has a smarter thought that I'm capable of, I'm all ears.

System shutting down when converting files

Downloaded 7.5.0.20 and when I try to convert files into Ipod format from existing WMA my PC goes into uncommanded reboot. Not linked to any other applications that I can see and happens too frequently to be anything else. (Running latest AVG antivirus V7.5.516
Have NEVER had this problem before, and have 23Gb of files in Windows Media Player.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be conflicting or causing the issue?

Found the problem lay with hardware not software - actually overheating the PC as the chip heatsink was clogged with dust. Strange that nothing else had caused reboot but then again life can be strange.....

Office 2013 - removing 2010 - avoid Shutting down open 2010 programs

Hi
pretty much as topic..
when deploying office 2013 via sccm to users.. the setup will, without warning, close any 2010 programs that are open.
How can I avoid this?

In 2012 you can give conditions to uninstall 2010 before installing 2013. anyway two different versions are not needed on any machines.. so you can run the Uninstall for Office 2010 before running the 2013 office version. Then there is no question of closing
out the 2010 apps. If you want to push 2013 with out uninstalling or something.. you can use the application packaging tools like "install shield or Wise packaging studio to add the custom dialog boxes before starting the 2013 office install.

Indesign cs 5.5 for windowskeeps shutting down

Indesign 5.5 is shutting down constantly, windows 7 doesn't provide crash log, have amt3 log can anyone tell me how to fix this, have re-loaded cs programs, run cleaner tool. Yet still it shuts down for no apparent reason, even when know other programs are open. System is a new Toshiba laptop with 6 gigs of ram.

Doesn't seem to be anything in particular, problem is random, we have reinstalled the cs 5.5, run the clean sweep program from adobe. It just tells me that Indesign is shutting down. The file usually reloads alright but there has been a couple of files that become damaged and unable to open, both on my system and others. Is it possible to supply you with the amt3 log from my system to let you know what my computer is doing? As a side note we, purchased three cs 5.5 Indesign programs for our business and the same thing is happening on one of the other system. It seems to help their system if they run absolutely nothing at the same time. If we are running photoshop and Illustrator open and other programs they do fine without problem, it is as soon as we open Indesign that the problem happens. It is also important to note that the two computer systems we are running are different sytems completely. This has become a huge problem, we are a graphics firm with combined 60+ yeras experience and are very familiar with these programs and have never had this problem before with past cs 4.0 and cs 3.0. Please help!!!! this is really becoming a problem and I have seen the blogs showing other people are having this closing problem with Indesign.

Problems shutting down illustrator cs3

greetings -
just curious if anyone else has had issues w/ illustrator not shutting down (i.e., file/exit). i have yet to attempt an uninstall/reinstall since it took a long time to install cs3 on my machine the first time (had to restart it once).
about 9 out of 10 times when exiting illustrator, it will freeze up, and i have to do a "ctl+alt+delete"" to terminate the process.
any thoughts are appreciated.

I've been having this daily problem of this 'hanging-on-quitting' problem, too, until I saw this first post (recently, always searching for solution thru other forums as well) and thought that what might be the problem..., often times I would just quit by clicking the Close button, too. For a while, it did work (if I'm using Illy for short period of time) it doesn't hang - but if I would keep it up & work with it for a long period of time, then on quit (even with the File>Exit method) it'll go blank & 'hang' (again). I'm "wild-guessing", but could it be something to do with application's cache/memory issue? I mean, its seems like the more I use it, the more it keeps "building-up inside" so to speak. Also I agree whole-heartedly with JET's post #29 (under "New to Illustrator - all I want to do is draw a triangle") concering the "inelegance" of Illustrator, etc. He really said it well. It seems that each Illy's "improvement" is two-steps-backward at the same time. Very frustrating! I have Windows XP SP2 on two different machines. I hope this post would help to bring out any other thoughts or ideas on this annoying issue.

Computer will not shut down, logout or restart

I got my computer about a month ago and I recently re-arranged some of my security settings (password, firewall, timed log out), and downloaded software for an HP Deskjet F4280 (HP Photosmart Studio, HP Device Manager).
Everything works perfectly, except when I go to shut down all the files disappear, the menu bar disappears, and nothing happens until a window pops up telling my finder could not log out.

Your issue is significantly different than the OP's (original poster's), so please start a new topic in the Account and Login forum.
Also, do NOT post your e-mail address in public posts. Spammers can pick it up. I have asked a host to delete it for you, so you shouldn't worry about it this time, but in future, keep it in mind.

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

> I have installed no upgrades of CS3
You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

When i try to open dmg file for newest version of itunes, my mac pro does not open to install and freezes my main desktop toolbar so i can't select the apple to shut down, it also enables me to open any other programs?HELP PLEASE

i've been forced by my comp to shut down several times by holding the power button because of the inability to select the apple and shut down correctly..idk if i got a rare mac virus or bug.. and some programs simply won't open when clicked on.. i don't know how this is possible after years of great performance..

Where did you get this "dmg file"? To install the newest version of any Apple software, including iTunes, all you have to do is use Software Update from the Apple menu. This doesn't download any dmg, it automatically installs the software for you.
Maybe try repairing your permissions from Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder).
Also - What version of OS X do you have? Please update your forum profile so we can help you better.

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great.
