Freeze up when clicking on a command in the toolbar in Illustrator, same happening in InDesign

Hi,
For the last couple of days as I'm working in Illustrator or InDesign CS3 the program freezes when I try to place a file or click on any command in the toolbar.  For example, I click on File>Place, and the screen grays out and I'm unable to click on anything.  I have to close the program via Task Manager and restart my computer.
I have Windows XP and Adobe Creative Suite CS3.
Please help - I'm unable to get any work done!!
Thanks

While you believe the offending dialog to be active, hit Alt+Spacebar. Select Move from the menu, then use the arrow keys to bring the dialog box back into view. The new position should be remembered the next time around.
Reinstalling the software might not fix the problem, believe it or not, unless the pertinent registry entries get wiped clean.

    I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
    Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
    a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
    Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
    Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
    any suggestions on how to fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • How do I insert additional clips into my video timeline in Elements 13?  When clicking 'add media' it added the clips at end of video rather than in their appropriate position.  Could not 'cut and paste'.

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • When clicked on an icon in the infopath form, it will open another infopath form from another file. How do?

    When clicked on an icon in the infopath 2013 form, it will open another infopath 2013 form from another
    file. How do?

    Hello Eugene Astafiev!
    I need the following scenario: 
    I have a Sharepoint library with items created by Infopath (form A). 
    I developed another form (form B) that will query items created by form A. 
    The form B will be in a static "webpart" page navigation (Sharepoint). One of these fields returned by the query library that manages the items created is the URL responsible to load the item data . I would like to parameterize the URL into form B.
    So that when the user clicks on it, the form A with their respective data in a modal is returned (which may be a native modal Sharepoint)

    My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
    When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
    Any ideas ?
    I've got Mountain Lion running.
    I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
    I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

    can you preview it? -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

  • Browser freezing up when clicking Monitor - Access Points

    Is there anyone else having problems with the browser freezing up when (in Classical Mode) clicking Monitor -> Access Points? Clicking Configure -> Access Points works as it should. Sometimes the browser unfreezes after a while but no output is displayed on the page.
    We're running Cisco Prime Infrastructure version 1.3 (in HA-mode if that makes a difference but the problem exists even after failing over).
    I've tried Chrome, IE9 and Firefox 19.0.2 and the problem exists in all of them.

    I know that my version of Firefox isn't supported but according to the list of supported browsers these are ok:
    IE: 8 and 9
    Firefox: 10 - 14 (everything else works in 19)
    Chrome
    Since two of the browsers I used to test are supported it doesn't feel like a browser-problem
    I have opened a case with our supplyer who hopefully will open a TAC-case if they don't find anything by themselves. However, I thought that it might be a good idea to check if it was a known problem where the fix would show up in the next version

  • When I click on a tab in the toolbar the tab flies off the screen to the right. Suddenly after using firefox for years I cannot load any pages

    I'm using Windows XP. I've used Firefox for years but in recent weeks I've had the following problem. When I endeavour to open an internet site the tab appears in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen instead of loading the page. When I click on the tab it appears to fly across the right of screen and disappears from view. Fortunately we've left an internet page OPEN so that we can redirect our search via that. Today we had a power cut and now I cannot get Firefox to load anything. At the moment I'm using Explorer to write this. We've made no changes to our system and we're continuing to use the same virus checker we're had for years. (Kaspersky)
    One last point. When I try to load any site in Links the tab changes to the correct name but then flies off as I've previously mentioned. When I right click on the tab and choose Max or Min I have no reaction. I've tried rebooting the computer and turning it off but this does not fix the problem. I've also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest version all to no avail. Please, can someone help? Micam

  • Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

    Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Phone Freezes up when Closing out multiple Apps in Multitasking toolbar.

    Hello World...umm.. I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but every since I have upgraded to os 4 on my 3G S... whenever I proceed to close apps out of my multitask toolbar after the 4th app closed in a row my phone COMPLETELY LOCKS UP! Unresponsive mode major. I hold the lock button to turn it off and nothing happens I keep pressing the home button and nothing happens. It just freezes in the toolbar but the apps are still wiggling? Anyone might have heard whats going on with this? I have to hold my lock button and home button to reset it and reboot to resume usage of my phone. Thanks...

    This happens to me also. I think it's a bug in the software
    It happened on my 3GS and also happens on my iPhone 4.
    It doesn't only happen when closing out of the 4th or 5th app, sometimes it happens to me on the first app or just at random times. It takes about 2 minutes for the phone to unfreeze, or you can simply restart it.
    Apple needs to fix this, and also recall these iPhone 4s because of the antenna issue they're refusing to accept.

  • Slow processing when clicking from song to song - the wheel keeps spinning!

    When I click from song to song within iTunes 8.2.1 (6) (my music is kept on an external hard drive with a USB 2.0 connection), it takes an additional minute for it to play - the wheel keeps spinning - and this increases my workload by over 500%! Any idea why this is happening? Any way to correct it?
    I used to occur when using 8.0, but then the 8.1 upgrade corrected this problem, but now that 8.2 is up, the wheel spins and spins and spins.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Weird error when clicking on instance- flow from the console

    When I have heavy volume coming in for the bpel server(ex: hundreds of instances generated at a time), I see the following weird error when I am trying to see the instance flow from console:
    Process state off. The process class "BugBAM" (revision "v2004_12_20__61032" ) has not been turned on. No operations on the process or any instances belonging to the process may be performed if the process is off. Please consult your administrator if this process has been turned off inadvertently.
    I didn't do anything to the process to turn the state off. What does this error message mean?
    Thanks, Jenny

    I am assuming that you are using 10.1.2 beta 1. Is that correct? I am wondering if in that version there is a switch that turns a process off when a new version of the process is deployed (this would be a bug because the active process should only be switched to retired).
    Next time you get this error, could you please go to the BPEL Console and check the state of the BPEL process.
    We will try to trace the error message in the source code and try to determine if there are other circumpstances which would generate the same error code.

  • Firefox is freezing everytime I click on something no matter the page.

    It doesn't matter what website I am using everytime I click on something, it loads the page correctly and then says (not responding) for 2 to 3 minutes. It hasn't crashed so far, but I am not a big fan of waiting.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
