Illustrator CS3 won't open EPS.

I have had a problem recently of large EPS files not opening in CS3 on my new work PC.
The following error comes up when I try and open the file:
"Can't open the Illustration. Could not complete the requested operation."
When I click Okay, I'm greeted with either a completely blank page, or a page where some elements are missing - usually embedded images, which are presumably what's causing the problem.
Before you ask, I've tried the following:
Placing the unlinked EPS into a new document - no love.
Placing the EPS in InDesign and exporting - I just get a blank, grey image and a file that won't open.
Opening the EPS in Acrobat - again, no love.
If I PLACE the file in a new document as a LINK, I get a preview image - it's when I try to embed it that it fails.
Now, I'm not after a way to fix my file, because I know it's corrupted and probably can't be saved. What I would like to know is why it keeps happening and how can I stop it?
I've noticed that it happens mainly when I place large image files into a document. I've also noticed, after some testing to try and find a fix, that if I save as an AI file, it opens fine, large images and all.
This kinda doesn't help me, as I need to save EPS files so that the files can be opened in other applications. Unfortunately, not everybody has Illustrator.
My computer is BRAND NEW and it can't simply be a memory issue because I have 8gb of RAM. Full specs are listed below.
I would appreciate an answer to this as it is becoming increasingly frustrating, especially given it never used to happen on my OLD work PC, with the exact same version of Illustrator.
PC Specs
Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHZ
8GB RAM
64 bit OS
Adobe Illustator CS3 (v.13)

Sure it can. AI CS3 is a 32bit app and only uses 2.something GB of memory. Only CS6 is natively 64bit and can use more memory.
You're right, Mylenium. It seems to be a compatibility issue.
I changed Illustrator's compatibility under Properties to an earlier version of Windows, in this case Windows Vista, and it now works fine. Or at least for the moment.
If any more problems arise I'll post them here, but the problems I listed in my previous post are no longer occuring.
Thanks for your help.

  • Illustrator CS3 can't open eps files

    I can't seem open any eps files. It won't open in Photoshop either. Both of them I get this message: "Parser module cannot parse the file."
    Am I missing a vital component to install in CS3?

    Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
    1. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
    2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
    That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • New MacBook pro...Illustrator (CS3) won't open

    I just bought a new MacBook pro. I connected the internal hard drive from my old mac to get the programs onto the new but I am having problems with Illustrator opening (CS3). It acts like it opens but the tools never pop up nor does the menu at the top. Suggestions?

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

    Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum.  What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties?  Have you tried removing and reinstalling Illustrator?  If so did you receive an error message during the install process?

  • My adobe illustrator CS3 won't work with OS X Yosemite

    after installing OS X Yosemite software upgrade my Adobe Illustrator CS3 will not open with the ability to use the tools, only as a Read only file. I was told to install JavaForOSX2014-001 but that has not helped.

    Yes I am having the same exact issue.  CS6 works fine except for InDesign.  I have used the Java Legacy Updater with no help to the scenario.  Just bounces up/down and then gives me this nice little error message, which I get repeatedly:

  • Illustrator CS3 hangs when opening document

    Hey
    Since this morning, on one of our Intel iMacs, Illustrator just won't open any documents. The program load screen shows up, completes and gives you the dialogue box about opening recent files or new files etc. But when you try and open anything you simply get the colour "wheel of death" and you have to Force Quit Illustrator.
    I have tried deleting preferences, reinstalling, and running programs like Onyx to clean disks etc, but nothing seems to work. We have also taken the files over to other Macs where they open perfectly fine. It's really just on this one iMac.
    Any ideas would be very very helpful.
    Thanks

    Very strange. I'm looking into it now. It was just a DVD with some of our old backup files. The designer was trying to look at previous work files. It caused the crash on his iMac and on a Macbook Pro that we have extra. I also put the disk into my G5 PPC and I wasn't having any problems, until I tried to open a specific Illustrator file on the disk itself. Must just be a corrupt file of some sorts. But as soon as I remove the disk again, everything runs smoooothly :-)

  • Illustrator CS3 will not open! Please help!!

    I've been using illustrator CS3 all day (no problems since I installed upon purchase over a year ago) and this afternoon illustrator crashed. i tried to open it again and nothing. it brings me to the illustrator screen saying "initializing" and then nothing. the icon stops bouncing and my hard drive races like it's about to explode. i've done every fix that's out there (including the version cue update fix), ran Tech Tool Pro, repaired my permissions in the disc utility, made sure everything is up to date, cleared all caches and still nothing. i've deleted over 5 gigs of stuff from my hard drive to make more space for Illustrator and am now running with 30 gigs free. still nothing. illustrator starts up in the dock, the CS3 screen comes up, gets to "initializing" and then the icon stops bouncing in the dock and the hard drive races. i'm at my wits end. can anyone help?

    Weird the EXACT same thing has just happened to me. Funny I did almost the exact same things you did before looking up in this forum. Have uninstalled and then Reinstalled. My Photoshop works but also discovered my Indesign doesn't work. I never installed the Version Cue thing because I had problems with that in CS2. Other things seem to be running really slow, I use a great spam program called spam sieve that has also been crashing. My Leopard boot disc won't read for some reason so am going to try to reinstall system files tomorrow once I can borrow a friends disc. Did you ever get it back working? what did you do.

  • Illustrator CS3: Very Slow Open, Very Slow Save

    Hello all,
    I just recently have been issues with Illustrator CS3. Up until about a few weeks ago, it had been running flawlessly. Now, whenever I try to open up any EPS or AI, Illustrator will literally take at least a minute to open it. This happens with a complex 2mb AI files, but also for a tiny simple files consisting of a 1" square on a blank artboard. No matter the file size, it will take around a minute to open it up.
    Opening a 44kb .eps: 75 seconds
    Opening a 210kb .ai file: 67 seconds
    Saving a 76kb .eps: 56 seconds
    Export to grayscale PNG: 66 seconds
    Export AI Layers to SWF Files: 2 seconds
    This is ridiculous.
    Saving is the same issue. It takes a ridiculously long time to save even a blank document.
    It's not my machine (2x2.66ghz Intel Mac with 5gb ram, OSX 10.5.6). Photoshop feels a little sluggish too, but not to this extent. InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver, Acrobat all run perfectly. I even uninstalled all the CS3 products and reinstalled to find the same issues. And now that I've been given a time sensitive job, I need to get this program running quickly again.
    I'm not sure what I can do to solve the problem, aside from trying to reinstall OSX and start fresh. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Well, I reinstalled Mac OS X before even trying those methods. It was less of a hassle than I thought it would be. Solved the problems with Illustrator. Everything is running fantastic.
    But, I was just working in Photoshop, opening about ~20-30 small PNG's at a time to resize, grayscale, etc. I opened up about 60 at once to make things go quicker. They all opened up, with a little bit of lag. Now, if I even try to open up 10-15 PNG's at a time, they load very slow, like the problem I was having before with Illustrator...
    Is there anyway to reset some memory settings? Or clear some cache? I believe this is what caused my issues with Illustrator before (opening too many files at once.)

  • Illustrator CC won't open

  • Help! My CS3 won't open RAW files from my Canon EOS 7D..

    I have always used Photoshop CS3 - I like it and am quick with it, and I shoot RAW files on Canon EOS.
    I don't want to upgrade to CS5, however since upgrading my camera to a 7D, Photoshop will no longer
    open my RAW files. I've tried to update plug-ins, I've tried to work through DNG [it won't open those either]
    and I've tried for hours on end to get an answer from Adobe on the phone. Nothing is working. Does anyone
    have any advice for me please? I'm begining to tear my hair out!! Emma

    Hi,
    Are you saying your Ps CS3 won't even open the sample DNG file (/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Samples/Doors.dng)? If that's the case then you need to make sure you have the correct Camera Raw 4 plug-in installed properly.
    If it is just DNGs generated from your 7D files, then maybe the DNG Converter options need to be tweaked.
    regards

  • Installed 10.6.3 and now Photoshop CS3 won't open

    Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Photoshop CS3 hasn't been the same. Whether it is the OS or the new drivers to manage my printer and my scanner, I don't know.
    Today, I had been working on Photoshop all day and at some point the computer got slow and it told me it had a software update. I decided to save everything I was doing, quit Photoshop and install Mac OS 10.6.3 hoping it was the answer to all the glitches.
    Instead, Photoshop won't open at all anymore. I have restarted, shut down, repaired permissions, reinstalled the program, updated everything and it still won't open. It's the only program affected from my design suite as far as I can tell, but it's also the one I use the most!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also happened here with all of my CS3 apps on my Mac Pro. Also, Quark XPress v8.16 exhibited the same crash at startup. *_Not Good_*! Lightroom loaded properly with no issues. Haven't had a chance to run through every app yet, but as a Graphic Designer, those are the ones I need to work. An interesting tidbit was that this did NOT occur on the installs of CS3 and Quark XPress on my MacBook, which also was updated to 10.6.3. Just the Mac Pro.
    Re-installed CS3 suite and Quark XPress to no avail. Also cleaned font caches.
    I "fixed" this by re-installing Snow Leopard from the DVD which brought me back to 10.6, which just installs over itself, keeping all your apps and settings intact. I then downloaded the older 10.6.2 Combo Update, and installed that, which brought me back to the point I was at prior to 10.6.3. I also ran a software update after the 10.6.2 update, and installed all the found updates EXCEPT for the 10.6.3 update it found.
    No problems as of yet...
    I'll report back if any do arise.
    My gut feeling is that this is some sort of color profile or font issue.
