Frequent Indesign Crashing, CS6 and Now CC, any help for a fault finding novice?

Good afternoon,
I have been experiencing a lot of crashes, firstly with CS3 on my old system, then with CS6, then I upgraded to a new PC and still had CS6 crashes and now i have CC and still having similar issues.
My system is Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit, with 8GB Ram.
The crashing can happen upon Indesign boot, even with a simple 3Mb file opening and can also occur randomly mid work.
Here is my error report if it will help.
http://pastebin.com/diEQwr0F
I have looked through the forum but am not certain if other faults i have come across are related to mine or not so If anyone can advise the best course of action it would be much appreciated. I am not the most technically minded when it comes to the running of the pc so any help would be great.
Best regards
D

I hope you are running any of your InDesign versions at their most-recent patched version; not at their out-of-the-box versions. Click on Help > Update in InDesign in order to download and install the version patch.
Have you tried this? Opening the C:\Windows\Temp folder while no programs are running; selecting all the .tmp files and all the files beginning with a tilde (or really select all files and sub-folders within that folder) and delete them and then reboot your Windows machine and see if it feels better and runs InDesign more stably.
Another chicken-soup idea to investigate is to obtain a font utility software like FontDoctor. Run this investigative software on your installed fonts to see whether it finds a corrupt or partially corrupt font. Remove any such bad fonts. BTW, simply getting rid of old fonts is a good idea. Get rid of all your PostScript Type 1 fonts. Leave only OpenType fonts on your system.
Afterwards, maybe your system will crash less.

  • InDesign crashing when using type tool - any help?

    Hi,
    Ive looked for this problem in the threads here but couldnt find the solution, only similar problems.
    I use InDesign on OSX and it works fine until I use the type tool - in new or old documents. Then it crashes.
    I tried reinstalling the program and uninstalling, also uninstalling the last fonts added to the system to no success.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Steve,
    Its CC and it was working perfectly.
    I was on OSX Mavericks when I last edited documents.
    I've updated the OS to Yosemite a few days ago. Illustrator and Photoshop worked perfectly on Yosemite.
    I also installed a few fonts, which worked on Illustrator, if that's of any help.
    I've uninstalled all the recent additions and tried using InDesign afterwards, but its still crashing.
    I can post the error log I receive.

    There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.

    Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Firefox crashed suddenly and now it won't open at all. Please help

    Firefox crashed suddenly and now it wont open at all. When I click the icon all I get is the spinning pinwheel and have to force quit the program. I've tried rebooting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it won't open in safe mode....it wont do anything at all. Please help.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

    Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
    There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
    I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.

  • Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?

    Installed update (11.0.08). App still crashes if I try to edit text and images. Any help?
    1)Specs:  Alienware M17 R4 (laptop)
    GPU: GeForce GTX 675M
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)  i73840QM CPU @ 2.80GHz
    Memory: 16GB RAM (15.89 GB available)
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
    OS: Windows 7 home premium
    2) There is no error message. Acrobat simply closes on me without warning. The program stays open for a brief time, but then closes at random.
    3) I have tried running it as an admin, but it does not change anything. The program still closes without my consent.
    4) I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times. It does not work even if I do not get the update (11.0.08)
    Thanks,

    In that case we might want to have a look at the crash logs to check what is failing.

    Also please be aware that if you are using a 64-bit system you need to follow a different procedure to collect the DMP file to avoid us getting  this error from the IDE when attempting to view the file “Debugging a 64-bit dump of a 32-bit process is not supported, please collect a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process."
    You can get the correct dump by going to the location referenced in this blog excerpt:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2011/05/12/do-not-collect-32bit-process-dumps-with-64b it-task-manager.aspx
    So, you need to use 32bit debugger, if you would like to collect a dump of a 32bit process. So, if your process is 32bit, then you need to run 32bit version of the task manager on a 64bit OS. 32bit task manager is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder and the name of the file is taskmgr.exe.

  • Just bought Lightroom 6 through B&H Photo Video online and now Adobe says it is "unable to validate this serial number for Lightroom".  Any help for me here folks?

    Just bought Lightroom 6 through B&H Photo Video online and now Adobe says it is "unable to validate this serial number for Lightroom".  Any help for me here folks?

    If you want to buy the product Lightroom 6.0 from the Adobe Website, then please visit here-
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html
    And scroll down to the bottom and spot the Lightroom 6.0 to buy the standalone application.
    You can buy the application as an upgrade or full product (second red box in the screen shot shows the previous version of the software you own and needed to be selected if you are buying the upgrade Lightroom 6.0 ) in case you have the previous version ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ) serial number registered or noted somewhere.
    Here is the screenshot which might help you in buying the product correctly,
    You can visualize the first red box where you need to select on the drop down to make the purchase as an upgrade product or the full version of the application.
    If you have the qualifying product ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ), then it would cost you just $79 else $149 in case of full installer.
    Try, it might help you get over the plight of buying the product.
    Thank you so much.

  • I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option

    I installed CS6 and now Lightroom doesn't show CS5 as an Edit option. CS5 is still installed on my computer. How can I add it to Lightroom Edit options?
    Mac 10.6.8

    You can add CS5 as an "Additional External Editor" on the External Editing Tab of the Preferences panel. See this screenshot, I have Photoshop CS5 as my prime editor, and have added CS3 as an additional external editor:
    Then when you use "Edit In...." you'll see both options available..
