Illustrator CS3 Windows - Freezes/Crashes/locks when using open dialog.

I have looked all over the internet for a solution like this and tried all sorts of possible combinations and none worked.
So I set about tracking it down one afternoon. It only took me 4 hours to find the issue.
I think it's when the Version Cue preferences gets corrupted.
SOLUTION:
Close Illustrator. If it's crashed used task manager to stop the application.
Navigate to: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\ and remove the workflow directory completely.
Restart Illustrator and the workflow directory will be recreated and now you can open your files with a dialogue as you would normally expect to.
Good Luck

The video card is opening the Save dialog offscreen, outside the visible desktop area.
Select Alt+ Spacebar, choose move and then use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back on screen and resize it so it fits and opens in the correct position.

  • Illustrator CS3 grays out and locks when using Save or Save As

    In the past few days everytime I try to save an existing or new file with Save or Save As i see the save dialog box flash and then the whole program locks and grays out. The only way to close is to do a control-alt-delete. This happens for new files and existing files. I tried renaming the preference file so it would create a new one and that didn't work. I have cleaned out the temp files and I have plently of memory and RAM so that is not the issue either. We can't seem to find our CDs to do another install so are there any other ideas someone can give? this is also happening with my Photoshop CS3 and my InDesign CS3. I think it may have something to do with a microsoft update... thats the only thing that has changed on my PC in the last week. Oh and i also did a virus scan, nothing. thanks

  • Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

    We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
    OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
    In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
    How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
    remark:
    We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
    deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
    (so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
    Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
    Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

    Did  you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
    Thanks for this hint!
    The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
    to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

  • Crash/lock when use special symbol palette in iDVD 6

    I tried to use the special symbol palette to try to insert special language characters in the comments on a picture in a slide show. On choosing special symbols from the menu line (Edit) all seemed to be fine until I tried to choose another category of symbol from the palette.
    At that point the symbol palette goes blank or only part of the information is visible and I can not close or move it. Often iDVD also locks and I have to force the application to quit.
    After that, the blank symbol palette keeps popping open (then closing) when working with other applications. Cold restarts do not cure the problem. Only solution I have found to stop the annoying pop up of the palette is to delete the file in user preference (com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist)
    I try to do the same operation again with the same results. Do not know if this is a new problem or long standing since I had never used the palette before with iDVD. I can clear the created problem with the hanging palette, but the palette is esentially unusable. Character palette seems to be ok when using it from the international keyboard menu.
    (The reason to try to use the palette was I could not paste names in a language that do not use Mac's standard diacriticals. Why is there no font menu choice or ability to paste a name from another application that has font menus?)

    Wow-totally missed that-sorry. I guess i assumed that you didn't do that because that is about the only thing that I know of to fix it.
    I guess you could try Validating fonts
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=FontBook/2.0/en/fb1003.html
    I'm out of ideas...but, I am certain that others will show up that have other ideas though.

  • Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files, in facebook under windows 7

    I've encountered the following errors in some PCs, running Safari 5.1.7 in MS-Windows 7 Pro:
    Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files. One doesn't have to actually upload or download any file, the mere invocation of the relevant dialog box brings down all open Safari windows after a couple of seconds.

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

    Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

  • IPhone causes Windows to crash immediately when Camera app is on...

    I sync my iPhone with two computers: an iMac for music, videos & photos, and my Dell Inspiron D860 running Windows XP for my work e-mail, contacts, and calendar.
    If I have taken a photo with the iPhone and either leave my iPhone in Camera mode, or have even left any photos in the "Camera Roll" album in the Photos app, then my Windows PC crashes immediately when I hook the camera up for a sync. As soon as the USB cable makes a connection, I get an instant blue screen: informing me of a BIOS memory error and a message saying that Windows is shutting down to prevent further damage. So, I disconnect the iPhone and reboot the computer.
    However, if I delete any images in the Camera Roll album of Photos and make sure that the iPhone is not running Camera when I plug it in, I can sync between the iPhone and iTunes on Windows XP flawlessly.
    The irony here is that I have left the sync Photos box unchecked in iTunes on the Dell running XP. So, technically, nothing in the Camera or Photos apps on my iPhone should even be communicating with software on the XP system.
    Have other folks experienced this problem? If not, perhaps I'm doing something wrong and would appreciate any insights!!
    Thanks

    I finally nailed it.
    i have a Acer Aspire notebook with orbicam and i had the latest driver from ACER but still had some problems on XP but deleted everything (Orbicam drivers and camera utility from Control Panel) also i verified that everything was gone in MY PC / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager / Imaging Devices (if not, uninstall the Orbicam from there.
    then i restarted my computer and installed Logitech Quickcam utility version 10.5 from logitech site (from the Quickcam 4000) that i previously downloaded, everything went ok.. i restarted again my computer and my camera worked perfecty and also i was able to connect my iphone with photos in camera roll and XP detected it normally without any trouble. The only thing that came out after doing this is that my Orbicam appears in the SAFE DEVICE REMOVAL UTILITY right next to the other utility icons and the clock. i will try to solve this and post any coments.
    I hope this info is useful for others like me with this issue.

  • Windows task bar locks when .vi is running

    The Windows task bar locks when the .vi is running.
    How do I enable the windows task bar so I can multi-task when my .vi is running? Is this new with LabVIEW7?

    Thanks Allen, I thought you may have had the answer as I do have a clock function running all the time, but I have a delay in that loop. I figured out what is going wrong. If I maximize the .vi, then the task bar will not function when the .vi is running. So, I did not maximize the .vi, and chose 'Size the front panel to the width and height of the entire screen' on the Window Size category under vi properties, and the task bar now works when the .vi is running. I feel that I should be able to have the front panel maximized, and still use the task bar. I do have 'Always on top' selected in my Start/Settings/Taskbar options. Thanks!

  • Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode.

    EOS Rebel T3i - Shutter locks when using the camera in AV mode.  It actually freezes up when in this mode...no it's not just allowing more light in through the shutter but rather locking in the open position.  How can I resolve this? Thank you.

    Does it do this in bright sunlight at the lowest f/number?
    How do you know the shutter is locked open?
    Does it do this on multiple lenses?
    How long does the phenomenon last, and how do you stop it?
    Do you end up with an image? Is it totally overexposed and motion blurred?
    Positive it is not mirror lockup?

    Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?

  • Problems with saving in Illustrator CS3 - Windows

    I'm using Illustrator CS3, Windows XP. Even the smallest files take a very long time to save. I try to save and it initally appears as if nothing is happening. If I click again, a portion of my screen goes white and the hour glass sits for what feels like forever while "Not responding" appears next to Illustrator in the bar. Eventually it finishes. Have run into the same problem with PhotoShop a couple times as well. Seems to have started after my upgrade to CS3. Can anyone help?

    "it initally appears as if nothing is happening" - no-no, disk indicator should be bright and nearly no-blinking!
    Solutions are (depending on the problem severity):
    1. Make more layers (even for the same kind of objects, especially for texts)
    2. Use RAID 5 disks for scratch files (VelocyRaptor is the best choice)
    3. Use i-RAM for scratch files (if the project not too big)
    4. Use RIndMA disk (http://hardwareforall.com/ww/serverRAMdisk.html) for scratch files

    You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

  • Locking when using a component as an object in the application scope...

    I have a component that I am building right now that hold
    application settings that are stored in a database table. The
    settings are maintained in a structure "variables.settings" within
    the component and can only be accessed by get and set methods. I
    use the following to create the instance of the object:
    <cfset application.settings =
    createObject("settings","component").init() />
    Now when getting a setting I do not think locking is needed
    as its just reading the value and I am not really concerned with a
    race condition...
    But when using the set method which will update the value of
    the setting.... should I be locking that as technically the object
    is in a shared variable scope? Or is it safe because its within the
    cfc/object?
    If locking is needed, would I need to lock when using the set
    method? or can I just build the lock into the set method so that
    its always there?

    To disagree with craigkaminsky, I think you only need to lock
    if you are
    concerned about race conditions and what could happen during
    a 'dirty
    read' and|or conflicting writes.
    A lot of developers have an old impression of ColdFusion that
    one *must*
    lock all shared scope variable access to maintain a stable
    application.
    This dates from the ColdFusion 4.5 days where there where
    bugs in
    ColdFusion that could cause memory leaks and eventual
    application
    instability if one did not lock shared scope reads and
    writes. This has
    long been fixed, but the advice persists.
    So now it is only a matter of your data and what would happen
    if one
    user read an old value while it was in the process of being
    updated by
    another user. Or could two users be updating the same value
    at the same
    time and cause conflict. If either of those two statements
    are true,
    then yes you should use locking as required by your
    application.
    But if they are both false and it does not matter that user A
    might get
    the old value microseconds before user B changes it. Or there
    is no
    concern with user A changing it once and user B changing it
    again to
    something different moments later without knowing the user A
    has already
    changed it. Then locking is probably unnecessary.
    There can be a cost to over locking shared variable writes
    and|or reads.
    Every time one creates a lock, one is single threading some
    portion of
    ones code. Depending on how the locking is done, this single
    threading
    may only apply to individual users or it may apply to every
    single user
    on the entire server. Either way, too much of this in the
    wrong places
    can create a significant bottle necks in ones application if
    too many
    user requests start piling up waiting for their turn through
    the locked
    block of code.

  • TS1398 How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    What does this have to do with using an iPad?
    But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
    Is this what you want to know about?

  • Hide passcode lock when using projector

    Is it possible to hide the passcode lock when using a projector? I'm a teacher so when my ipad locks and I want to unlock it the whole class can see my passcode unless I unplug it first!
    Thanks

    Many projectors have a button or option to 'black' the screen, which keeps the projector on, just in some way doesn't show any light, making it easy to show something else on the same screen. See if yours has the option, and if so, press it, put your code in, then press it again.
