Can I repair the ntdll.dll fault that prevents InDesign CS4 from opening in Windows 7?

I am running Windows 7, all updates installed, and CS4, updated to 6.0.6.622. This problem does not affect any other app in CS4. Starting yesterday, InDesign would crash as soon as I opened a document. Then it would crash before I could open a document. Now it crashes once the small pink splash screen displays. The Windows detail is this:
The same behavior occurs with with my machine in Safe mode.
I have not added any fonts.
I attempted the manual "trash preferences" procedure found on this site.
I attempted the "default printer" solution.
I already rolled back my system to October 13 (my earliest possible restore point) and then reinstalled InDesign, then when the problem persisted installed the 6.0.6 patch again. So rolling back from the update is not a solution. Would uninstalling inDesign before reinstalling be required?
This department (3 users) got new laptops witn Windows 7 and CS4 in January, and I am the only one experiencing this. I know I am current on all updates, but I can't speak for everyone else. Perhaps I am too up-to-date.
My IT dept thinks the standard solution of re-imaging the hard drive is required, but that takes a day and then another two to reinstall/re-register/reconfigure all my apps. I have work to do!
I sure hope someone else has solved this already; I have spent a lot of time searching for a clue. Thanks all, in advance.

I just tried the Recovery Folder solution, where you delete the contents of the folder. This sounded promising, because the first time ID crashed, a document was open. When I launched ID again, the doc was recovered. I closed it without saving changes, after which ID crashed. After that point, ID never got beyond the splash screen. There were two items in the folder (see screenshot), but alas, no joy.
Thanks Peter for the cleanup - I had not spent any time reading the forum how-to (and I write user docs).

  • Has a patch been released that prevents my iPad from opening attachments?

    As of Friday, October 7th, none of our iOS devices have been able to open attachments in messages sent to Live@Edu accounts.  For example, we get a grey screen with the message "Office Open XML word processing document" when trying to open an attached Microsoft Word document.  Does anybody know if Microsoft or Apple released any updates/patches to cause this?

    If Apple has released any updates, you'd know about it because the only way to get them is to sync your iPad to iTunes and deliberately allow iTunes to update the iPad. Whether Microsoft has made any changes to Live@Edu I don't know; you'd have to contact Microsoft.
    If it's just Word documents that have problems, I'd suspect a problem at Live@Edu, though I can't say with certainty. Can the iPads open Word documents sent via other email services or, if the iPads have Pages or another app that can open Word documents, transferred directly from iTunes?
    Regards.

  • I cannot open my iphoto application.  The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever.  I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work.  I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't.  Help!

    I cannot open my iphoto application.  The minute I double click on the icon I get the rainbow which spins forever.  I've used Applejack to repair the hd, but even that didn't work.  I've getting into iphoto preferences..can't.  Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • On plugging my iPod to the iMac, all the songs got deleted on the iPod. Now it doesn't sync to iTunes and it shows that 'mac os can't repair the device'. How can I get my iPod to start functioning normally again? Please help!

    Hey! I plugged my 80 gb ipod classic to my imac, but had to switch it off when itunes hung. The ipod wasn't switching on , and when it did, all the data, including all my songs were deleted. Now, when I try syncing it to the mac, it doesn't connect to the itunes and I keep getting an alert saying ' Mac osx can't repair the device'. Now, althought all the data is gone, the ipod still shows 30 gb free. What will happen if I partiton my ipod? How do I get it to start functioning again? Please help!

    Try a low level reformat of the iPod's hard drive to possibly try and repair some of its damage. Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.

  • IPOD won't connect to ITunes.  Mac OS Can't repair the disc and Partition Failed.  Help!!

    Hello,
    I am distraught because my IPod Classic won't connect to ITunes.  My Mac won't even recognize it after a few seconds, and I have to keep resetting for the Mac to recognize it.  Mac OS can't repair the disk, and said to reformat.  I tried to partition, but that failed with the error message: couldn't unmount disc.  I don't mind losing all the files, and am really just hoping that it will work again.  I have virtually zero technical knowledge, and thought I might reach out to see if any savvy users know a trick or two that I might try. 
    Thanks for all your help,
    Mary Louise

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these program

    If necessary:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I use the CFDAQ6004.dll in a embedded c++-application?

    Hi,
    I´m working on a reaserch project and I´m trying to write a embedded c++-aplication which reads from values the Compactflash Card CFDAQ6004 of NI. Can I use the cfdaq6004.dll to read from? If yes, how to?
    I hope anyone has a solution for me
    Best regards, Homi!

    Hi there,
    I know this post is very old but i guess many guys visit it when reading the topic or by googling about CFDAQ6004 driver. Unfortunately CFDAQ6004.dll is very low level driver that support several functions dealing directly with CF6004 card such as ATTset and ATTget... etc. as one can view in any PE explorer for Windows CE. After a month of testing and analysis, i have successfully write a dll based on CFDAQ6004.dll to open, configure, read, write analog/digital data from/to CF6004 card. The new library was given a name CF6004LIB.dll the following is comparison between my dll and daqmxbase driver:
            New Dll                                                                                     DAQmxbase driver
    1. Can be used inside any programming environment                        Can only be used inside Labview
        inc. eVC++ , VC++ .net, VC# .net, VB .net
    2. Support fully dynamic task configuration                                       Only static configration possible (dynamic task can be done with modified VIs)
    3. Remove a lot of overhead by accessing CF6004 directly                Puts a lot of overhead passing through GUI, objects, controls, ...etc.
    4. Support full error detection                                                           Some errors can not be catched
    5. Full sampling rate can be achieved 200 kS/sec                               system dependent (max. 130 kS/sec in hp ipaq 211 PDA)
    6. Support contiuous/limited sampling                                               continuous sampling is possible but at reduced rate`
    7. small in size < 10 kB                                                                    Minimum program size 600 kB
    Also, I have written some modified VIs for CF6004 including reduced (specifically used for CF6004 card ) VIs and dynamic task configrable VIs.
    Bye

  • How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera RAW on jpeg files?

    How can I use the color adjustments interface that shows up for camera raw on other files types? The HLS controls had the secondary color adjustments (6 colors instead of the 3). Plus, it had same vibrancy and a better Curves interface. Yesterday was the first time I imported raw into Photoshop CS5 and I got that really cool interface. What is that? Can I use that on other file formats?

    Actually I am using the Tradional Chinese Version, when I try to edit the jpg file with camera raw, the system shows that there is no camera raw plug-in. The cmaera raw never work.

  • When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" with the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed

    When I receive and answer e-mail, the correspondence is usually "nested" "behind"  the original message, and the number of replies, etc. are indicated with a number next to the original message in the inbox.  How can I change the mail settings so that every reply is listed individually in the inbox instead of having them "stacked" behind the original message.  I'm afraid I might accidentially overlook messages the way they are handled now.

    Somebody here will correct me if I'm wrong, but what you have to do is go into Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars and under Mail, turn off "Organize by Thread".  I think that will make each message show individually.

  • Disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    disk utility can't repair the Macintosh HD, asking toback up all files as possible? and how to  reformat the disk?

    Some problems can indeed be fixed this way. But working from Recovery_HD or Disk Warrior DVDs and working in the restricted environment those provide can be difficult. You can literally spend days working on this problem (while your regular work is unavailable) only to discover the old drive is unsalvageable.
    There is no way to know up front whether you are facing a major Hardware failure or a minor software glitch, or something in between. Often you are forced to work from the drive you no longer trust. I continue to recommend you do this work from a different, fully functioning Mac OS X booted from a different drive.
    If you have had the foresight to (as The hatter often recommends) clone your virgin install onto another drive for use in such situations, you will be able to recover from such problems in record time. If not, my previous recommendations stands:
    Buy a new Drive. Or  two. Install Mac OS X from scratch on a new drive, and get your Mac running again. Later, you can use the full power of Mac OS X to attempt to rescue your data, if needed. Then Zero the old drive, to see if it can hold data again reliably.
    If the old drive eventually provides some needed data, and is salvageable, Merry Christmas.
