AI shutting down when I save files...

Not sure if anyone here may be able to help with this problem, but I'll try..
I recently replaced some of my PC hardware and had to reinstall Windows and CS3 etc. Ever since, Illustrator seems to be able to work fine when I start a new document and save it. However, if I even just open any document I created before I reinstalled and then try to save a file in AI (new or old), I get an error message telling me "Illustrator has encountered a problem and needs to be shut down."
I've tried Saving As under a different name/file type, copying/pasting content from the old document into a new one - doesn't work. Just opening any old file makes this error come up when I save.
Every other program in CS3 seems fine - only Illustrator has given me this problem.
Any help??

I never had a printer.. I installed a scanner recently but this was happening before that so I don't think that's it.
I tried reinstalling Illustrator as well but it didn't help.
How would I reinstate everything back to the way it was? I assume reinstalling it would've done that?
Someone else told me it might have something to do with scripting? Does that make any sense??

  • Shuts down when I save any file big or small

    I have Adobe CS5 and run it on a MacBookPro and recently AI started shutting down when I try to save a file. I tried to create a small mock file to save and it did the same thing. SO no matter the size of the file it just shuts down. I also restarted my computer and made sure I had nothing else open and it still does the same thing. Need Help, can't finish my work with out it!!!

    So...I deleted all printers attached to my computer thru the server and it still wouldn't let me save as an ai. file. But I tried to save as an .eps file and it let me. Before it wouldn't let me save matter the extension. Would you have an idea why it wouldn't save the ai. file and shut down?

  • Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down when I save a file I am working on. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down on me when I go to save a file I am working on. I work primarily in this software, and this continual shut down happens at least 10+ times a day. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

    Does that happen with that file only or with any other files as well?
    Did you try to create a new file and save it?
    What error message do you get? Please attach an error screenshot.
    Which operating system do you use?
    Since when are you facing this issue? Did it ever work before?
    What changes did you make after which you are facing this issue?

  • Audition shuts down when dragging in files from different folders.

    Whenever I try to drag in music files (in WAV format) from two separate files, Audition shuts down. It stops responding. How do I fix this?

    I suspect changing the audio driver won't make a difference, though it's certainly worth a shot.  Generally, when something like this occurs in certain editing modes, but not others, it's related to the Workspaces documents.<br /><br />It's pretty simple to verify:  Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\3.0\ and move or rename the two Workspaces folders.  (Note: AppData may not be visible by default depending on your configuration, but you can manually append it to the location bar and it should become visible.)<br /><br />After moving these folders, launch Audition.  Audition will rebuild them to the defaults.  Let us know if the problem still occurs.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Durin

    It did a great deal, but perhaps not for this particular

  • IPod Video makes iTunes shut down when I transfer files!Help

  • InDesign Shuts Down When Saving

    InDesign CS3 5.0.2
    InDesign shuts down when saving a file. The ONLY time it seems to act up is when we try to save using any option except for "save a copy." There are no numbers, messages, etc. outside of the standard: "InDesign has encountered a problem and must shut down. We apologize for any inconvenience..."
    When it does shut down, whatever file was open at the time is lost. Totally. I have yet to be able to locate the previous file using any means.
    Has anyone else had this problem. Any fix?

    Normally I would recommend replacing your preferences as a first step. I'm not sure quite how to test, though, without putting something at risk.
    Maybe replace the prefs, open a new file that won't matter, save a copy, then try a save as and see what happens. You might also try turning off video hardware acceleration, but that seems tenuous, as does a bad font.
    Is there a network involved, or are you working locally? If yes, what kind of network? Have you tried working locally?
    If none of this has any effect you may need to reinstall, but I hate to put anyone through that pain without a better idea of what the problem is.

    The first error has nothing to do with Photoshop - that's some .NET application.
    The second error is most likely connected to a third party plugin or driver.
    And you're running Photoshop CC (14.x) instead of the current Photoshop CC 2014 (15.x).
