Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working . . .

I'm sorry if there is an answer out there that I didn't see, but I'm desperate.
My InDesign CS5 was working perfectly fine yesterday and now today within 5 seconds of launching the program it crashes and I get the message mentioned in the subject line.
Of course this is when I'm trying to finish my final project for school.  My other CS5 programs seem to be working fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!

I am operating in Windows Vista.  The last time I used the program it was responding normal and it closed out normally.
I haven't added any fonts and have cleaned out my recovery folder and it is still doing it.
My machine froze yesterday morning and I had to do a hard reboot, but I was not working in ID at the time and it wasn't open.  Everything else is working normally.  Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I did uninstall and reinstall the program and of course that didn't solve anything.
Any other advice is appreciated.  I am at a loss.

  • Adobe InDesign CS5 Has Stopped Working (installation issue)

    Please allow me to preface this by saying that this situation is RESOLVED, but I wish to share what happened to me with others for information purposes as I couldn't find anything regarding this issue online last night (mind, I was quite exhausted so might have missed it).
    The situation:
    I have CS5 Master Collection Upgrade.  I performed the installation.  All apps working just fine EXCEPT Adobe InDesign (see error in title).
    Beating of head against the wall continues for five hours as I uninstall, use cleaner, defrag, reinstall (you know the routine) SEVERAL times (why I thought doing it just once more might make a difference is beyond me).  I knew this install should work because I was using the entire CS5 suite only a few days ago until my system suffered a serious failure and require reformatting, reinstalling etc.
    So... after a couple of hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (an almost first for me in about 15 years or so of using Adobe products), it was discovered that InDesign's plugin directory was corrupt (rather, one or more files were laid down corrupt).  Uninstalling and using the cleaner DOES NOT remove the temp/backup files.  I knew something was up when I reinstalled the upgrade and it did not ask for my CS4 code (even after using a M$ reg cleaner), and this confirms it.
    Also I noticed that InDesign is being laid down during the transition from Disc 1 to Disc 2.  A colleague of mine had an odd issue with his PC not accepting Disc 2 at first (a few weeks ago).  I can only conclude that for some people, and some installations (because my first installation was flawless), InDesign will lay down its plugins corrupt.
    As I said, this is resolved now (I copied over the plugin directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Plug-Ins) from my colleague's PC where InDesign was working fine), but I wanted to share in case this spares someone else the pain and suffering I just experienced.
    The irony, of course, is I'm under deadline and of all the programs right now, I needed InDesign the most!  LOL.
    Cheers, everyone.

  • Error message:  Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working

    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem.  When I open an InDesign file, I get the error message above.  Then windows is looking for a solution.  I close the window and reopen the file and it opens right up.  This problem does not occur if I open InDesign first then open the file.  Only when I try to open the file and InDesign starts to run.  I am running Windows 7 64bit.  Any ideas out there?

    After an uninstall of InDesign and the antivirus software, no solution to the problem.  I went into the startup menu and started doing selected start ups.  I was able to narrow down the conflict to the "windows management instrumentation" program.  When this is not running, I get the message that my ID has reached its activation limit and I need a new number or it needs to be deauthorized on at least one computer.  There are a couple of other programs that need WMI to run as well.  I did go in and delete the preferences since nothing I had was hard to recreate.  Can the other files in the cache be deleted as well?  Will ID look for them and recreate them such as the one in the recovery folder?  Anyway, I had one document that I have been working on be rescaled-very strange.  Everything else was unchanged.  One other thing, when I would get the error message, I would close and then reopen the document without any problem.  However, when I closed it again, even if all i did was view it without changing anything, I would get the prompt if I wanted to save the changes.
    So does that help at all in narrowing down the problem?  I have reinstalled the antivirus, and it did not affect anything.  As long as I don't run WMI, I don't get the error message.
    thanks,
    Clark

  • InDesign CS5 has stopped working

    I have InDesign CS5 (creative suite premium, ME version) on Windows 7, everything was working well when InDesign stopped working. I can't open the program or any InDesign files. I get this error message:
    "adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available".
    i have tried re-installing the program and it doesn't help.
    does anyone know of a solution - i'm desparately working against a deadline.
    thanks

    No doubt.
    I'm not sure what else to try, except do it again. Make sure before installing again that you are logged in as an administrator and that User Access Control is turned off. I'd also run the configuration utility and turn off any non-essential startup programs an services, especially anti-virus, anti-malware, browserhelpers and toolbars, messengers, iTunes, and third-party firewall.

  • Need advice - "Adobe photoshop CS5 has stopped working" upon startup

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone can assist me with this as this seems to be a fairly common problem.
    Basically, upon starting up PS it comes up with the error message:
    "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working..."
    I'm just working off a surface pro 2 with 256gb ram, i5 processor (I think)
    I’ve installed no new drivers of late and not undertaken any system changes that I can think of that would affect the program.
    Funnily enough it’s the same problem across all the adobe suite e.g. illustrator and indesign both won’t start up (illustrator has the same message whereas indesign’s error message mentions that it requires a certain amount of free disk space).
    Hopefully that is enough info. Please ask if there is anything else that you would need to know in order to ascertain the problem.
    For reference here is the excerpt from the windows error log:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 12.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4bbc5b10

    My scenario and history:
    Windows Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 Ultimate
    NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 driving 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference.  Drivers irrelevant.
    2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)
    24Gb RAM
    PS CS 4 or 5
    4 monitors - - yep it is the 4 monitor thing.
    Fails everytime as you describe.
    Observation - If you Remote Desktop Connection onto the computer - and so in effect are using only ONE monitor - PS works fine.
    A WORKAROUND for 4 or 5 - I don't consider this a fix because you lose some functionality but it gets you 99% there and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5
    Go to<drive>:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\    (or CS4 - depending on version)
    Locate File:
    ScriptingSupport.8li
    Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde in front of the file name.  Thus:
    ~ScriptingSupport.8li
    Start Photoshop - it works and is mainly functional.
    The only real downside I have discovered is that disabling this scripting extension means you cannot use some of the built in scripts under FILE - SCRIPTS - the biggest PIA for me being the Contact Sheet builder no longer works.  But as I now use Lightroom to create contact sheets - this is not a big loss.  Other scripting functionality - I am sure is affected - but not to a point I find PS unusable.
    ADOBE - if you read this - it has been that extesion now for the last two editions of PS.

  • Adobe InDesign CC has stopped working

    When trying to open InDesign CC (Trial), get error message "
    Adobe InDesign CC has stopped working." 
    and
    It caused other problems in computer.  Proessional technician who cleaned up computer uninstalled inDesign - saying it appeared to be corrupt - and that I should redownload it and reinstall.
    I did that, but the same messages still appear. 
    Any suggestions?

    This is weird. I re-built my PC a couple of weeks ago and re-installed all the Adobe CC products that I use. Before that, I always found the InDesign defaults file with no trouble. However, now it is nowhere to be found. The path you give in Replace your Preferences doesn't exist. There isn't even an 'appdata' folder. I have searched the whole of the drive and found neither appdata nor InDesign defaults. I have launched Id many times since the re-build, but the path has not been created. Could appdata be hidden? If so, how do I reveal it? All help appreciated.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working (Win 7, 64 bit)

    I am trying to run Photoshop CS5 on Windows 7 64bit. Everytime I open the program, I get an error saying "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working", immediately after the splash screen goes away and the main gui opens. The only option on the error is "Close Program".
    I am on a computer with an i7 processor and 12GB of memory. I have two Nvidia GTS 250 video cards, running four monitors.
    Over the course of the last day, I have reformatted my computer, and reinstalled Windows twice. I have reinstalled the CS5 Master Suite more times than I can remember. I have also downloaded and installed the latest video card drivers from Nvidia.
    I continue to have the same problem every time I try to open any of the programs in the CS5 suite.
    The only time I have come close to getting it to work was immediately after installing the new Nvidia drivers, before restarting my computer. I was able to open it one time without it crashing, Once I restarted my computer, Photoshop continued to give me the same error every time I try to open it.
    I have no other software installed on my computer. It is a brand new installation of Windows 7.
    I have been on the phone with Adobe technical suuport for about an hour and a half, and I have yet to get a single suggestion other than attempting an install with my network cable unplugged. Other than that, they seem to be fond of transfering me back and forth between departments (and asking me to repeat all of my information every time).
    As you can probably tell, I am very frustrated at this point and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Trevor

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working [Issue]

    Hello everyone! I recently just purchased Adobe CS5 as being very excited as I've been a customer before the CS series! Anyways, the install and registration with Adobe was no problem what so ever, I got to uninstall CS4 quite easily, it all worked. So, I've read the other topic of "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working" and this is not my problem! However, once I'm in CS5. I do a couple things, zoom in Navigation, enter some text, move a couple layers and it tells me it has stopped working. This is happening very often every so 1-3 minutes, so I've been living with it for about 2 days (IT has FINALLY passed the line, where I rip my hair out! Hehe, ). So now I'm deciding I post the problem!
    Computer Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x86
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.20GHz (OC)
    ATi Radeon HD 4670
    3GB DDR2

    After work.. I will be upgrading video card drivers to see if this makes a difference, only solution related to my topic in Adobe FAQs.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working

    I have Windows 7 I just installed Adobe photoshop CS5 Extended. It starts fine but when I start to open a picture I get the message
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working windows will shut it down.
    Any ideas of what the problem is.

    Mylenium, why do you feel there is a need to run the first time as Administrator?  Do you know of install failures that would leave files or registry entries with improper permissions?  I've not been hearing of this behavior with the new versions; certainly Photoshop has known about Windows' UAC feature for quite a long time.
    Rjleys, I suggest that you try (before opening an image) going into Edit - Preferences - Performance and disabling the [ ] Use OpenGL Drawing setting.   Close and restart Photoshop after making this change.
    If this works around the problem, you should update your video drivers from the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.  It may be that the OpenGL operations Photoshop is trying to perform may be causing a fault in your drivers, resulting in an applilcation crash.
    What kind of video card do you have?
    Here are the links to the driver update pages for the two big video card makers:

  • Adobe InDesign CC2014 has stopped working

    I subscribed 2 days ago to Adobe CC but am unable to work on InDesign without getting this response....
    "Adobe InDesign CC2014 has stopped working... A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Close program"
    Where is Adobe on this issue—any explanation?

    If you are able to open ID and do other work, the problem has nothing to do with permissions, so you may safely ignore all of that stuff.
    This sounds like some sort of corruption in the style or specific text, ot perhaps a corrupt font (but that would probably cause a crash in ID at launch or whenever the font is used). Start with the technique out lined here: Remove minor corruption by exporting
    If that does not work, see if you are able to export the problem story to InDesign Tagged Text (click the cursor anywhere in the story, but don't make a selection, then choose export from the file menu and tagged text from the type dropdown). Place the tagged text into a new frame, then use copy/paste to replace the original text.

  • Adobe InDesign CS6 Has stopped working error message

    Hi,
    I have Adobe InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 64 bits Enterprise Edition
    When I open a document and try to export the document to pdf my indesign crash whith following message "Adobe inDesign CS6 has stopped working"
    It happens on some docuemnts but now all documents.
    Please help.

    Was that a typo and you meant NOT all documents?
    Windows isn't quite as easy to diagnose crashes as Mac becuase it doen't providet he same crash reports, so we pretty much have to play Twenty Questions...
    Let's start with some basic troubleshooting. Presuming this is isolated to just some files, start with this: Remove minor corruption by exporting
    If that doesn't work, can you export half of the doc at a time?
    Create a new user account onthe machine and log in using that. Are you able to export the document to PDF without a crash?

  • "Adobe Flash CS5 has stopped working" error anytime i do anything - HELP PLZ!

    Hi there,
    I have used Macromedia Flash MX for many, many moons. Finally, when I got Windows 7, I was VERY excited to get updated on MX and move to Adobe Flash Professional CS5. However, i have never once been able to use this program, as it crashes pretty much every time i try to do anything. However, since my upgrade, i've noticed a lot more crashing in MX as well (i still have it installed on my old HD and have been using it to build videos rather than CS5 since it crashes less frequently). Now, i'm at my wit's end. I get the above error message when i do pretty much anything, but most recently it's EVERY time i try to select all unused files from the library. The error message i get in MX is "Flash 6.0 r25 has stopped working," but it's the same exact problem in the problem signature as CS5's:

    3. (Windows) Disable Compatibility Mode. 
         For information on compatibility mode, see Using Windows 7 or Vista compatibility mode. 
    Windows Compatibility Mode can cause errors to occur with Adobe Creative Suite products. To disable it, do the following:
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\[application name]. 
    Right-click the product application file and choose Properties.  
    In the Compatibility tab, deselect all options under Compatibility Mode, Settings, and Privilege Level.   
    Click OK, and relaunch the Adobe Creative Suite 5 product. 
    4. Disable startup items and services. 
         Applications running in the background can prevent Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 products from launching. For instructions on temporarily disabling these items, see the following documents:
    Disable startup items and Services (Windows XP)
    Restart Windows in a modified mode (Windows 7 and Windows Vista)
    Start the system in Safe Boot mode (Mac OS)
    5. Log in using a new local administrative user account. 
         A new local administrative account can rule out network policies, corrupt profiles, and incorrectly setup administrative accounts as the cause of a failed launch. To create a local administrator account, see the following:
    Windows XP: Choose Start > Help And Support and see the article "Add a new user to the computer," or contact your system administrator.
    Windows Vista/Windows 7: Create new local administrator account (Windows Vista) (kb404912)
    Mac OS: Creating and modifying user accounts on the Apple support website. This video demonstrates the procedure to create a Standard user account. To create an Administrator account, select Administrator in the New Accounts menu.
    6. Delete all Adobefnt*.lst files 
    Search for and delete all copies of the AdobeFnt*.lst file that you find on the hard disk: 
    (Mac OS) In the Finder, choose File > Find (Command + F).
    (Windows XP) In Explorer, click the Search button (Ctrl+F).
    (Windows Vista/7) In Explorer, use the search box in the upper right (Ctrl+F).
    Type Adobefnt*.lst and then click the Search icon. If you have more than one hard drive, only search the system (OS) drive.
    (Windows XP Search Assistant) Choose All Files and Folders. Under More advanced options select Search System Folders, Search hidden files and folders, and Search subfolders.  
    Click within the search results. Choose Edit > Select All, and then drag the selected files to the Trash (Mac OS) or Recycle Bin (Windows).  
    (Mac OS) Choose Finder > Empty Trash.  
    Restart the application. 
    If an Adobefnt*.lst file becomes damaged, it can cause the application to crash, freeze, or quit when you try to start it. Adobefnt.lst files (for example, Adobefnt10.list for InDesign) are font cache files that Adobe applications use to quickly gather and store information about available fonts. If you delete or rename an Adobefnt.lst file, the application re-creates it the next time you start the application.  
    7. Troubleshoot font issues. 
    Remove or disable nonessential fonts and then restart your Creative Suite application. See:
    Reduce the number of active fonts (Windows XP)

    As a plugin developer myself, I can tell you that the problem is most likely in the plugin if it starts/stops working properly because of changes to the memory size allocated to Photoshop.
    It's unbelievable how many people fail to program simple error handling robustness into their code - the error in this case being insufficient memory in which to work.  In most cases it takes no more effort than this:
    BufferPointer = malloc(RequiredSize);
    if (BufferPointer == NULL)
         *gResult = memFullErr;
         return;
    (Note that I usually frown on return from within a module myself; this is just an example - I prefer a single function exit at the bottom)
    Given that the consequence of using a bad pointer can be crashing Photoshop and the loss of the user's work, you'd think plugin designers would be more concerned with proper error handling.

    P.S., Depending on what else you'd like to be able to do on your system while running Photoshop, it isn't out of the question to allocate quite a bit more memory than you have to Photoshop in the Performance settings  (e.g., 75% or even higher).  The thing to do is to try it.

  • Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

    Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.
    Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.
    I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit
    I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.
    I have rebooted my computer several times.
    I have ran as administrator.
    As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll 
    You guys are my last chance.. THANK !
