AppleWorks 6 crashes when I use the keyboard...

...in word processing, spreadsheet, or a drawing! I can draw or create a field, but as soon as I attempt to type within any document, e.g., enter dimensions in a drawing, AW quits instantly. It makes no reference to the document when I start up again, though I tried saving an empty wp doc to see what would happen.
I have cleaned out the preferences, except for the button bars, and gotten rid of the contents of the "recent" file, etc.
What next? Why is it doing this? I'd appreciate any help or ideas you may have.
Thanks!

  • When I updated my iPad to iOS 6.1, it crashes when i use the keyboard. What should I do?

    Hi, when I updated to iOS 6.1, I noticed that I crash sometimes when I use the keyboard. Otherwise it's fine. What should I do?

    I was on the phone earlier with apple care for some questions regarding safari, and I mentioned to him about all the problems people are have with the 6.1 upgrade, and asked what could they do if their ipad is out of warranty. He said anyone with an ipad that has problems with a upgrade, has up to 30 after it was released to call apple support for help at no cost.
    This is the route I would take next. let us know how you make out.

  • Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

    Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
    Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

    That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver).  Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
    Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
    Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape.  Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

  • When I use the keyboard on my iphone 5, the keyboard takes a mind of its own.  If I press a letter sometimeIs it puts the letter twice.  It puts periods when I don't want it to.  And if I hesitate on a letter it starts erasing everything I just typed.

    What user troubleshooting have you tried? The user troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Usually a reset will fix most of the unusual actions by the device.

    Theresa, it could be helpful if you'd go look in your Windows Application log for error entries corresponding to the Photoshop crashes.
    Click Start, type event viewer into the search box, and click Event Viewer when it comes up.
    Navigate into Windows Logs > Application, and look for red Error entries.
    When you find the one(s) for the Photoshop crashes, look at the info in the General tab specifically for faulting module.  List the name(s) immediately following faulting module here.

  • PSE 9 crashes when I use the Spot Healing Brush tool

    When I use the Spot Healing Brush tool PSE9 crashs completly. Is it a bug? In the older version 8 I had no problem.
    I use WIN XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz, GPU: NVIDIA Geforce FX 5700, DirectX 9.0c 4.09.00.0904.
    I tried it also on another PC with WIN7 and it caused the same problem.
    Thanks for any adivse

    I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

  • InDesign crashes when I use the clipboard too much

    Wow, this site is truly terrible.
    Anyway.
    I am experiencing a crash in InDesign when I use the clipboard too much.
    I have a habit of hitting "Ctrl + C" more than once, and this appears to trigger a race condition that causes a crash.
    It's reproducable but doesn't happen every time.

    TomMettam wrote:
    Wow, this site is truly terrible.
    What's that supposed to mean?
    Are you saying you hit Ctrl-C more than once without changing the selection? I don't tend to do that, so I don't know if it's a problem, but I've NEVER had that error using the clipboard in ID. What version of Windows are you running? You seem to have ID CC (dark interface is a clue), but is it 32- or 64-bit?

  • The letters on my iPad keep repeating when I use the keyboard

    The letters keep repeating when I use the keyboard

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Multiple letters result when you 'hold down' a key too long.
    For best results, touch the on-screen 'keyboard' lightly and quickly with your fingertips.
    I find it is easier to type with more accuracy on the larger 'landscape' keyboard, because the keys are spaced better for my fingers. 
    If you are trying to use a compatible iPhone or iPod Touch app, use the 2x button in the lower right corner to enlarge the iPhone keyboard. (But it still won't be the same layout as the iPad.)
    If you've never done much typing, it might help to use a typing tutor app. Several are available in the iTunes App store.
    If you have a lot of text to enter (writing papers, transcribing recordings, writing a novel), you might consider purchasing a compatible wireless keyboard.  In my experience, two different USB keyboards I own do work when plugged into the USB Camera Connection kit, even though the iPad may 'complain' about the keyboard being an unsupported device.

  • Bridge crashes when I use the export panel (when I try to specify a folder)

    Hi all!
    Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
    I can't just use "move" or "copy" to because I want to change the file format as well as move it.
    Has anyone encountered this?
    I already have the bridge 4.05.11 update installed.
    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, Karen

    Every time I use the export option, no matter where I access it from, when I try to specify a folder to move the file to, bridge crashes.
    In the export panel at the top right is a small menu icon, if you click on it and from the two options choose manage modules.
    Next to ' select modules to enable' is a small icon of a toothed wheel. Click on it and first choose check for update (probably showing non available but give it a try) and then choose reinstall all modules. Restart Bridge and check if it is working. If still not restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences and see if that worked for you.
    And there are other ways to save as new file format in new location. Assuming you have Photoshop also active go to the Bridge menu Tools / Photoshop and choose 'image processor, explore the options and set them to your wshes. You can also create an action in Photoshop for this goal and instead of image processor choose Batch and find the action you created

    Sounds like a corrupt font.
    Even though you "ran font book" have you also run a utility like Onyx or Cocktail to clear font caches?
