Illustrator CS3 restarting the machine on quit

Hey, we had this problem since last year after an update.
At the time we finish work in Illustrator CS 3 - (we have 2 PC Pentium D 3 GB RAM 500 GB Raid HDD - Windows XP - SP3 ), if, we want to quit the Program, one of the machines is restarting without any other warning and the other one is displaying an error like a pop-up window saying DESTROY! and if you push the ok button (the only option) the computer goes down - restarting.
Any suggestions?
We mostly work on Mac computers but those two machines have to run special rip software for some printing machines made only for Windows.
Thanks and looking forward to find a solution!

Hey,
Having a Windows machine implies having an AntiVirus software and we have installed a licenced copy of BitDeffender 14.0.24.330.
The RIP is as i mentioned WasatchSoftRip 6.6 also licenced (USB Dongle).
As I mentioned we have same kind of problems on two different machines, but, as far as I remember both have been used together with the printer, so could be the printer driver causing the problems... Hmmm, we do have another machine which is running same version of illustrator and the same AntiVirus, so, might be the RIP causing the problems. Any suggestions how to correct this problem? We had big problems when we had the printer running and Illustrator crashing - interrupting a 10 meter print on half ... Ouch.
thanks again and looking forward to solve this problem
Perhaps i should also write to Wasatch.
cheers!
Later Edit:
I did ask my colleagues about the history of this error and looks like one of the machines was having the problem before installing the RIP software. So?
We have 3 machines running same version of Windows XP, same Antivirus, same Version Of Illustrator - CS3 two of the machines also have installed WasatchSoftRip and illustrator's problem has a history before installing the rip and the printer driver.
Any thoughts?
Shall we try to uninstall the antivirus?
thanks

Do you own Illustrator CS3? An older version should not only not be asking you to utilize a newer version in any way, it couldn't even know about the existence of it.

The Setup encountered an error(-1) during install. Please restart the machine and try again.

I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11. Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.

Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

No problem :-) Happy to hear that you fixed it.
BTW, there is a tool provided with OATS (Database Configuration Tool) allowing you to review/reconnect to the database. I didn't think about it at first but this is a good idea to try that one next one you (or someone else) faces the problem.
Database Configuration Tool: <oats_install>/bin/DbConfig.sh
Some other useful tools:
Create Support Package: <oats_install>/bin/oats_support.sh
OLT Agent Authentication Manager: <oats_install>/jdk/jre/bin/javaw -jar <oats_install>/agentmanager/AMAuthManager.jar
Restart OATS App Service: <oats_install>/bin/restartSvc.sh [OracleATSServer | OracleATSAgent]
Stop OATS App Service: <oats_install>/bin/stopSvc.sh [OracleATSServer | OracleATSAgent]

I restart my mac air accidentally during reinstallation, after I restart the machine again, I lost all the drives in my computer including win OS. what can I do?

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

I am using a mac os10.6.8 with 2 gig of ram and its keeps freezing. the mouse moves but the machine is frozen. If I should down and restart the machine runs fine for a while and then freezes again. any suggestions?

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

Editing symbol in Illustrator cs3 sends the result miles off artboard?

When I enter "edit mode" of an illustrator CS3 symbol (to be used in flash), upon exiting edit mode, the symbol leaves the art board only to be found far away in the upper left corner of the document. Moreover, this cannot be undone!
Any thoughts?

You could provide a sample . ai file, so other users may inspect it and see if they can observe the same issue as you do.

Closing illustrator cs3 - restarts computer!?!

   Hello, i and my college face an intresting problem. Every time when i'm closing illustrator cs3 my computer are restarting (no questions, nothing, just blink and "welcome to windows"). Only way to keep computer and data alive is to keep opened illustrator for all day. Not a big problem at one side but at other thats litle bit uncomfortable and seems not correct.
   Haven't find solution on google, maybe here someone had that kind a fault.

SSSS,
   Hello, i and my college face an intresting problem.
Is this happening on just one computer (yours) or on multiple computers?
I have never heard of this one before. Illy is always trying to help, but she is never possessive like that. It must be some kind of crash.

Since installing yosemite the colors are washed out and whenever I restart the machine it reverts to the yosemite screensaver even though i have set a different desktop picture.

Since i installed yosemite, the some parts of the screen can hardly be seen and whenever I restart the desktop display reverts back to the yosemite screensaver which I have never selected. Do i need to reinstall or what.

Illustrator CS3 opening the same file twice

Hoping someone has an answer for this because I'm stumped.
Just set up CS3 on a new iMac for one of my users, imported her Illustrator files from her hold PC (also running cs3).
When she opens a file its opening the same file twice. When she modifies one, its all being mirrored on the other. When she saves, she has to save both "files" although they're really only 1 file.
Any ideas?

You can open multiple windows looking at the same file. It comes in handy when you're zoomed in, working on some detail and want to see the big picture...
Open a new one by going to the window menu and selecting "new window" This will open a new window with "filename:2" in the title bar.
To get rid of additional windows, just close them. You'll have to save the file to get it to remember that the other windows are closed.

Is there any way to check rc.conf without restarting the machine?

Hi everybody,
I've VPS running with Arch. It was preinstalled with very, very old versiol so I've upgraded everything, updated rc.conf by hand but still never restarted completely. So my question is - is there any way to check that the server will boot up without issues? Is there any way to check that rc.conf is completely valid?

peets, thanks! It seems to be ok at this point.
tomk, understood... Well, I'll paste it here maybe somebody could look throught for some possible incompability problems from old version:
LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Vilnius"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
MODULES=()
USELVM="no"
HOSTNAME="server"
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd nginx mysqld @postfix php-fpm @svnse
rve @pure-ftpd)
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
INTERFACES=( "lo" "venet0" "venet0_0" )
venet0="venet0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
rt_venet0="-net 191.255.255.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0"
rt_default="default gw 191.255.255.1"
ROUTES=( "rt_venet0" "rt_default" )
venet0_0="venet0:0 79.98.27.163 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
The most important is to bring networking up after restart :-) last lines from "lo=..." is from old rc.conf so I'm not sure if this is compatible with newest Arch.
Thank you for help, guys!

Illustrator CS3 wont open

Hi folks,
Ive recently started having problems trying to open Illy CS3...Im getting the window saying 'The application Illustrator has unexpectedly quit' when I try and open it.
From reading these forums I have done various things that people have said to do, ie:
1) Send the crash report
2) Check font book for any corrupt fonts
3) Deleted fonts I never use.... now I have 288 fonts, is that still too many?
4) Ive created a new user but still no luck
5) Ive restarted the machine a few times
6) Ive went to user/library/preferences and deleted the illustrator cs3 folder
and none of these have worked.
Im using a 24" Imac...2.93 GHz...Intel core 2 duo...4GB memory...and ive still loads of space on disc.
Any help is great.
Thanks

I have to ask you a couple of things first,
Did you quit Illustrator before you trash the Illustrator Settings folder?
Did at the same time trash the com.adobe.illustrator.plist file also in your user's preferences? You can try trashing both but you must first quite Illustrator.
Did you try to disable all your fonts except for the systems fonts?
When you created a new user did you load your fonts under that new users? I think you loaded your fonts, you should not have if you did!
Did you delete the font data base files the AdobeFnt.lst files?
I do not think you did that at all.
I think you have a corrupt font or your scratch disk is pretty full.

Batch won't run unless Illustrator CS3 is active window?

I'm hoping someone can help me out with this as it's driving me nuts. Basically I'm trying to batch an action I made in CS3 to run on about 700 illustrator files.
Everything runs just fine and dandy until I switch from Illustrator to another program (Firefox, photoshop, bridge, anything other than illustrator), once illustrator is no longer the active window, the batch process stops. When I make illustrator the active window again, the batch starts again. This worked perfect in CS2 and I never had this problem until CS3.
This is a huge pain as I can't work on anything else while keeping the batch running in the background.
Here's the nitty gritty details:
XP SP2, Illustrator CS3, smoking fast machine
Action was created in actions palette to do the following:
Unlock All > Select All > Create Outlines > Convert to Grayscale
Ran the batch via the actions palette, choose "Save and Close" and "log errors to a file".
I've restarted Illustrator, restarted the machine, recreated the action, broke the folder into smaller folders with less files. It's making my Tuesday feel like a Monday.
I've search all over and found nothing. There was one post here on the adobe forums, but it was from October and it never got answered. If you have a solution you will be my hero!
Thanks!

Yes, I have absolutely seen this! At our office we batch process Illustrator files to JPEG very frequently, and it's a huge nuisance to have Illustrator block the system during the batch processing. Everyone here is on XP SP2 as well, and we all have this issue. In fact, trying to switch in and out of Illustrator while it's batching can cause the application to crash fairly regularly for us.
I can confirm that the Mac version of Illustrator CS3 does *not* have this problem, as I am batch-exporting right now with Illustrator in the background on my Mac. (Mac OS X 10.5.2, Illy 13.0.2)
A fix for this would be most appreciated, Adobe!
