Adobe Indesign and Photoshop CS3 Freezing after trying to save file

Hi
I was using both Indesign and Photoshop yesterday with no trouble. Out the blue whenever I tried to either save a file or generally use any of the functionality within the File menu the dialogue box quickly appears then fades and the software freezes. Its doing this in both Indesign and Photoshop.
The IT department logged on using their administrator info and both packages appear to work fine it just seems to be once I log in using my user account.  We have tried reseting preferences etc.
Any help or advice would be welcomed.
Thanks

You have a stored invalid folder reference and since it can't be restored, the apsp crash on file dialogs. Have your IT department sift through the registry and clean out the relevant MRU sections.

  • Adobe AIR and Photoshop CS3 Integration

    Hello,
    We have been using Extendscript for scripting to control
    Photoshop CS3 for calling actions and manipulating images. However,
    we would like to build an Adobe AIR application to take the place
    of Extendscript. Is this possible? Is it possible to control
    Photoshop with an Adobe AIR application?
    Any suggestions or links to any documenation around this
    would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello! I use Photoshop CS3 and Yosemite. Recently, after logging info information into the FILE INFO panel, I am unable to close out the window. I am able to save & close out the image, but then I have to completely close Photoshop and re-open the program to work on a new image. Frustrating! Any help to remedy this problem? Many thanks!

    Try resetting the Photoshop preference file: Press and hold Cmd+Opt+Shift and start Photoshop. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to continue with reset.

  • Photoshop CS3 Freezes When Opening/Creating New Files

    My System: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    My Problem:
    It seems to be that if I download print drivers Photoshop will freeze anytime I want to open or create a new file. This problem arose when I downloaded a new print driver (unfortunately after deleting several others to ensure the problem was fixed). I was able to delete the print driver resolving this issue, but now it seems to be that anytime I download a new print driver, even though these previous print drivers had been on my computer before it freezes PS again. These previous drivers had worked perfectly fine when I had PS on my system before and I can't understand why all of the sudden now PS won't work with them.

    Because of a bug in the printer drivers.
    Photoshop asks for basic information ("name of printer",  "default page size", etc.) when creating a document.
    If the printer driver has serious bugs, then it may hang or crash at this point.

  • Adobe Indesign and Photoshop not opening in Rosetta?

    Just bought a brand new iMac intel model and I've installed my 8 month old Adobe Creative suite that I used on my G5 iMac.
    Instalation went smoothly, but none of the apps open. I double click on them in usual way, I get two hops of the app icon on the dock, that's it, nothing?

    Go to Apps/Utilities/Disk Utility and use 1st Aid to Repair Permissions on your OS X boot volume.
    It is a good idea to Repair Permissions before and after software installations. Also, to not have any other apps running during installation.
    I hope that you have not installed Version Cue. Also, if you have installed Adobe Acrobat get the update ASAP to prevent future headaches.

  • Applications crashing after / trying to save files - access finder

    Hi
    I am having problems with Snow Leopard. Any application which seems to access the finder to store/retrieve files crashes. I can repeat this to make the error occur.
    Example
    Create a new mail and add an attachment then cancel it - crash
    Create a new mail add an attachment and click add - likely crash
    Fireworks
    Export an image - crash after about 2-3 exports
    Xcode
    Add files into a project - select some....crash
    Safari
    Save a PDF of a page....you guessed it - crash !
    I've ran disk permissions, checked the disk and at somewhat of a loss to explain what is occurring ! The only thing I can think of is that somehow the finder part of snow leopard is corrupt for my install over leopard - I never had this problem in Leopard.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Alternatively, there's a conflict or corruption amongst the original preference files (plists) that you need to resolve. While logged into the newly created admin account, backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which is stored in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. Open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

  • Photoshop CS5 64x partially freezes up after trying to save a file !

    Photoshop CS5 freezes up after trying to save a file.   It doesnt freeze up totally .It just leaves me about 3 choices from the drop down menu.
    This only happens with the installed 64 bit version and not with the installed 32 bit version?
    My Operating System(OS) is Win.7 64x.  I have all the latest versions of everything installed! The computer is run by an Intel 7 930 quad core processor with 8GB DDR 3 Ram(1600Hz).  I have reinstalled both Photoshop Versions(32&64 bit versions) but still get the same problem.
    The image files that i have tried to save are not corrupted as I can save them using the 32bit ver.  But cannt save them via the 64 bit ver. without the software partially freeing up!  Would be most grateful for any proper and constructive advice in order to remedy this problem.
    All the best from NUGCS5.

    Re comparing to Irfan View:
    For what it's worth, Irfan Skiljan's marketing strategy is just different than Adobe's.  He may actually be more wealthy for having written that one application than most any Adobe engineer has made from Photoshop (well, maybe not Mr. Knoll).  I know I've paid Irfan for my copy.  By some counts he has hundreds of millions of copies in circulation.  If only one in a thousand people paid him the $10...  And who knows what Google pays him for piggybacking their stupid toolbar (grrrrr, but it's deselectable)...
    I agree with you that recovering a corrupted file at all costs is way better than "nope, can't open it for you", don't get me wrong.
    Just keep in mind that IrfanView is not chopped liver - it's Irfan's lifetime achievement, and he may well have a few unique tricks all his own up his sleeve.  In some parts of the software world a bright individual can still shine, even amongst the giants.
    At least you have a workaround:  Open it in Irfan View, Copy, File-New in Photoshop, Paste, Merge Down.

  • Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4?

    Can i install CS3 Indesign and Photoshop on mac OSX10.8.4? Or do I have to update and can I purchase updates from Adobe? If I can, how much are they?

    Yes, should be no problem.
    According to the box that came with my copy of CS3 the requirements are "PowerPC G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor, Mac OSX 10.4.8 or above.
    I loaded it onto my new Mac running Mountain Lion with no problems at all and it runs perfectly. InDesign used to crash occasionally under Tiger but has never crashed under Mountain Lion.

  • Can Adobe Illustrator match inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop?

    Can Adobe Illustrator match or simulate inner bevel effects of inDesign and Photoshop? If it is possible, please explain how to get a soft inner bevel on type or vector shape in Adobe Illustrator CS4 that can be set up to be identical (or, at least, very close) to the layer styles of PS and the type/fill/stroke/object effects of ID. So far, I have not been able to achieve the same look with 3D extrude and bevel in AI. I want a solid red object with a soft 16 point white-tint highlight and a soft 16 point black tint shadow. If it is not something that is possible with 3D extrude and bevel settings, this something that must or could be done manually with the gradient mesh tool?

    I’ve vectorized everything except the 3D red portion.

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ
