Crash when opening window within PP (usually for Lumetri effect)

Hi there,
I often get this problem where if I open another window, say the file explorer when using a Lumetri effect or the settings box for Neat Video, the whole PP window becomes unclickable (I get that "ding" sound wherever I click, which in other programs usually indicates that there is another window open on top, eg a 'Press OK' type box above Firefox). When this happens, I usually open Task Manager and try to end the program. 50% of the time this will cause PP to crash and just dissapear. The other 50% of the time, the Save File dialogue box will appear and if I click Cancel, I can get back to my work.
I can't really recall when this issue started. Most likely within the last three months.

version 2014.1 (the latest version)
Windows 7 64bit
Happens with any footage
No error message. Just dings.
Usually I have on Skype, Spotify and Firefox. Don't usually run any other professional programs concurrently with PP.
I have third party plugins, such as FilmConvert, Neat Video, Magic Bullet suite.
My PC is run by a Core i7 overclocked to 3.9ghz, 16gb ddr3 ram (very recent upgrade from 8gb), GTX 680, OS is on SSD.
I am using Mercury acceleration.

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?

Crash when opening windows in extension...

Hello everybody.
I have encountered a strange issue when trying to open a window from within my extension on OSX: It seems that whenever i try to open a "spark" window from Photoshop CS6, it instantly crashes. The same extension works flawlessly in InDesign.
I have tested it on OSX v. 10.7.5 and 10.8.2 - I haven't tested on Windows, so I don't know if it's a Mac only issue.
I have tried to compile a minimal test case to illustrate the problem - using Extension Builder (2.0.0.62-32314) I created a new project targeting Photoshop and InDesign CS6. I have pasted the contents of the extension and a simple window below.
Now - when i execute this in InDesign, the window opens and displays fine when I click the "Open window"-button - but executing it in Photoshop causes a crash. If don't set the window type, I can debug and see a different kind of error (Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window) and still no window is shown. And again: only in Photoshop...
So: Have I run into a bug introduced in the latest versions of PS/Extension Builder? I'm pretty sure this used to work in earlier versions (with mx:Window rather than s:Window)? Or is there any other way to open these kinds of native windows, that Photoshop might be happier about?
Thanks.

The main extension file:
<csxs:CSExtension xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                  xmlns:csxs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import com.adobe.csxs.types.CSXSWindowType;
            protected function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
                var w:TestWindow = new TestWindow();
                w.type = CSXSWindowType.MODAL_DIALOG;
                w.open();
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:VGroup height="100%" width="100%" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center">
        <s:Button label="Open window" click="onClick(event)" />
    </s:VGroup>
</csxs:CSExtension>
And a rather simple window, TestWindow.mxml, I want to open:
<s:Window xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.FlexEvent;
            protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
                close();
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:VGroup width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
        <s:Label text="Hello" width="100%" height="100%"/>
        <s:Button label="Close me!" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"/>
    </s:VGroup>
</s:Window>

Same problem for me.
This happens only on Mac from version 13.0.4 Photoshop.
It doesn't works with mx:Windows and s:Windows.
I tried with Extension builder version 1.5.0 and 2.0.0.4 but the problem persists.
Thanks.

Findr window crashes when opening window for drives

When I click directly on two drive icons on my desktop (one is a system drive, the other only storage) the finder window for each opens, hangs briefly, then crashes, momentarily blanking the entire desktop. No running programs are effected. Fortunately, a partition on the system drive does open and from there I can navigate to the files I need.
Here is what I have tried so far to fix this:
--Deleted the finder.plist file
--Run repair permission and repair disk on all drives (from the install CD)
--Used the Utility Preferential treatment and delete suspect .plist files (associated with rarely used programs)
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
Glad that way works for you. I was checking my 3 external drives the way you did and 2 open nice but #3 does not at all (as it goes in to get the info first, but forgets to use the finder once it does), and this one is the clone. However, when I set the Finder to Always open Folders in a New Window (as I described in my earlier post) it starts the drive and then opens the Finder once it has the info... a few nano-seconds delay but it works. Now when I click the 3 drives one-by-one I have 3 Finder windows on the desktop, one for each one. Nice if I want to move some files from one to another, the window is already open. Faster then going to the File Menu and clicking New Finder Window and then clicking the drive. Hard to say how the program was wired, but I like it this way. Hope you are ok with it too.
Enjoy

Office 2013 applications crash when opening/saving files in OneDrive for Business folder

My setup:
Windows 7 64-bit
Office 2013 Professional
OneDrive for Business (connected to Office 365)
Issue Description:
Example 1:
1. I create a file in OneDrive for Business using the appropriate web app (Excel web app, for example).
2. I edit the file in the web app, I save the file in my OneDrive for Business
3. I sync OneDrive for Business with it's local folder
4. Now I open the folder in Windows Explorer and double-click the Excel file
5. Excel splash screen shows up for a bit, and then Excel crashes
Example 2:
1. I open Word on my Windows 7 laptop
2. I start from a blank document and create some content in the document
3. I use the Save As option under the File menu to save the file to my local OneDrive for Business folder
4. As soon as I click the Save button on the dialog, Word crashes
The same happens with all the Office applications.
Important Note:
If I run the above examples with Excel/Word in SAFE mode, there is absolutely no issue.
What have I done so far?
1. I have made sure that the DisplayLink driver is the latest version from the manufacturer
2. There is no bluetooth send-to add-in in any of the Office applications
3. No add-ins are enabled in any of the Office applications (not sure if there are "stealth" ones that are not visible in the Options/Add-Ins dialog?)
Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.

Hi JeHarry,
Because I didn't have Windows 7, I did a test with Windows 8.1 based on your description. However, in my testing, everything worked well.
Please repair your Office under Control Panel, compare the result.
This forum is for SharePoint On-premise, as your issue is about Office 365, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum, more experts will assist you with Office 365.

Any fixes? Updates did not work: Adobe After Effects CS6 11.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7

Doesn't sound like it is a fault on Adobe's end as this sort of thing has worked fine for me (and thousands of others) something on your computer got messed up.
Do you know what changed between when it worked and when it stopped working? Windows update? Install any software or codec packs?
Wait. You haven't told us much info. Did it ever work before? What are your system specs?
You could uninstall, run the Adobe CC Cleaner, and reinstall.

Mail and Safari immediately crash when opened. Says incorrect username for "null" mail account

Recently I cannot open Mail or Safari on my iPhone 4. Safari won't open at all, Mail opens and then alerts me that I have an incorrect username or password for "null" account. I cannot open any emails before it crashes. I have done hard reset several times.

I've a similar problem with Apple's Pages on my iTouch. I contacted Apple Support and there's not much you can do about it either than restore, reset, or delete the app/account and redownload it or sign in again. I would say try restore. But first try to delete your email account in Settings and adding it again.

Ae crashing when opening project

Since of yesterday AE started crashing when opening a project which i worked on a few weeks ago.
We opened it on a PC, saved, with a new name. and it would open just fine. When reconnecting the files (AI-drawing) it crashed again. Renamed the drawing and replaced the originals with the new ones, layer by layer. Everything worked ok.
Just now, same thing, can't open any of the versions of the project. And it gives a warning saying that it crashed when opening windows. Do you want to open those windows again? Some versions of the project, i can open when clicking no. other crash anyway. What the heck is going on?
Others open fine, but this not. It involves some puppet tools scripts that i bought from aescripts...
I'm running a new Mac Pro, with the latest version of Mavericks, and latest version of AE.
tried to open with preview off, tried trashing the prefs etc. nothing seems to help.

Thanks, been trying hard to think what change could cause this, but can't.
Switched to another hardrive at some point, though. But no software updates.
Hid the ai-files, and opened up the project. Worked fine.
Replaced the ai-layers with an jpeg. Seems to work.
But, did the same thing a few days ago already. Opened up the project without the original ai-file.
Renamed the ai-file and replaced all the layers with the layers from the new one.
Worked well for a day or two, then started crashing again.

I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3. I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available. However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

Why would FCP crash when i click within the effect window?

Why would FCP crash when I click within the effect window?

I have an old system, but have not had this problem before.
It is a MAC G5 tower...

Quicktime 7.6.4

Finder crash when opening any Folder

I am a very experienced mac user and this one has me stumped. Im posting here to see if anyone else has this problem.
Finder crashes when opening a folder on the desktop
Finder crashes when using any option from the Go menu (or key combo) except Airdrop.
Once Finder window is open on Airdrop any navigation to home folder or any other folder using side bar causes Finder to crash.
Using Go To Folder causes crash, even on hidden folder like /var
Finder is OK when opening files on desktop
All other apps can browse file system and open/save OK
Google Drive is not present on system (this used to be an issue a long time a go that caused similar symptoms in other threads)
Drop Box is installed. But issue occurs even when dropbox is not running
Using spotlight to open applications still works normally.
Clicking the Finder icon in the Dock results in a non-functional blank window entitled "Window", all tool buttons are disabled.
Repeatedly opening the same folder over and over results in the message "The last time you open Finder, it unexpectedly quite while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the windows yourself" Two options "Don't Reopen" and "Reopen". Both buttons have no effect except to dismiss the dialog.
Steps Taken to fix:
Booted into recovery mode and performed repair disk and Permissions - Finder Still Crashes
Removed finder preference files using terminal
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Recent changes to system:
iTunes 11.4 Installed with normal Software Update.
Possible Cause of Problem
Found app in iTunes that has File Sharing enabled and has a shared folder. Curious as to what was in the folder i dragged it to my desktop and double clicked. Im not sure if iTunes would have had enough time to copy the contents of the folder before i tried to open the folder. Finder crashed. This was the first time it happened.
iPhone app in iTunes that I picked in was "Ubersense".

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Please a solution against crashes when opening a file with Acrobat XI pro?

Hello,
Am a member of Adobe Creative Cloud.
Am also constantly having crashes when opening a file with Acrobat XI pro.
Am running on Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit - RAM 20 GB -
The crash happens systematically after the installation of the update. Within one day I uninstalled and reinstalled the program 4x! It takes of a lot of my time.... Thank you for providing a definitive solution!
Best regards

I've been having the same issue! I try to open it and it crashes - says re-open, it crashes... I re-installed it yesterday and it opened and worked fine. Closed it out at the end of the day thinking everything was finally fine but this morning the same crashes it had yesterday... HELP!!!

Firefox crashes when opening and the crash report I get is Firefox 3.6.3 Crash Report [@ strlen | nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ].

== Issue

Firefox is crashing or closing unexpectedly
== Description

Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox. It crashes with the above crash report every time I open. I came across the bad image error and did a clean reinstall multiple times and that did not help. I have firebug and firecookies as an addon.

Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

Crash when opening window within PP (usually for Lumetri effect)
