Illustrator "Not Responding" on load and save

Good evening..
We bought a new computer our graphic designer (HP Z400 quad-xeon 2.66GHz, 16GB ram, Quadro 4000 graphic card), installed with Windows 7 64-bit, set it up with the Adobe CS 5.5 Master Collection.
The problem is with Illustrator, whereas it goes to "Not Responding" on load and save of files. The progress bar when saving stops at 5-10%, but it seems like it's still doing it's thing and it eventually goes through (15-45secs). However, I really hate getting this kind of message, moreso because his current desktop (HP XW4600, Win XP 32-bit, 3BG of RAM, Adobe CS5) is not doing this at all.
I looked a lot of the forums, and tested what was offered and it still isn't better.
- I removed an Add-On I had installed, no luck.
- Removed all network drives, no luck.
- Unchecked "Create PDF compatible file", no luck.
Working locally is the same as on the network, which makes me believe the network is not a problem in my case. (Even switched from 100mb network connection to 1GB, which was the first thing I tried)
Mind you, all these things I've tried were done in addition to the others, so even to total of all these wasn't helpful, and I'm still at square one.
I'd like to add that all the other applications in the suite are behaving correctly, Photoshop, Premiere, InDesign... Everything else is working great and not freezing at all. Which is why I find this wierd that Illustrator would act like that while all the others are fine.
Anything else I should be trying?
Jonathan
Edit: I checked again on his previous computer, and it seems the issue is there as well, unlike what I mentionned before, which might point to a problem with Illustrator itself, since between CS5 and CS5.5, Illustrator hasn't changed. Altough I'm not sure if it may be that the old computer is just *that* slow...

Well, it has the Adobe PDF printer (from Adobe Acrobat) and MS XPS Document Writer (from Office), but since they weren't real printer I hadn't mentionned them. Is this what you consider Virtual printer?
Either way, I've added a printer but it's still doing the same thing.

  • How to load and save custom workspaces in PE7

    I've written a little utility which allows PE7 users to load and save custom workspaces. It's attached to post #1 of this thread.
    System requirements
    The utility has been tested with Windows XP Pro SP3 only. It might or might not run under Vista. It will only work with PE7 installations where the executable files are in the default places.
    Installation
    When you have downloaded the utility (it's only 199KB) you can run it from any convenient place in your system - it doesn't need to be installed as such.
    Usage
    It's pretty self-explanatory in use but here's the manual!
    Run the downloaded utility "PE7WS.exe".
    A file selection dialog appears. Choose the workspace layout file you wish to use. "LastUsed.layout" is the last used workspace (that's all you will be offered the first time you run the program). If you press Cancel at this point, the program will exit and nothing will happen.
    Once you have selected the workspace, click "Open" and Premiere Elements 7 will run, using the workspace layout you chose.
    After you exit from Premiere Elements 7, a workspace layout file save dialog will appear. If you made changes to the workspace during your Premiere Elements 7 session, you can now give the revised workspace a name and save it.
    Do not save the workspace in a different directory from that which the dialog offers!
    If you have changed an existing custom workspace, and you want to update the version previously stored, just select the name and over-write the saved workspace layout with the new one.
    If you don't want to save the workspace at all, just click "Cancel" - next time you run Premiere Elements, you can choose the "LastUsed.layout" workspace to use that last used unsaved workspace in any event.
    If you use the PE7WS utility to run Premiere Elements 7, and then you use the menu option "Window > Restore Workspace", then exit, you can either cancel the workspace saving stage, (which will mean that "LastUsed.layout" will contain that default workspace), or you could give that default workspace a name like "PE7 Default" so you can start a future Premiere Elements 7 session with the default workspace, even though you last used a custom workspace.
    If you run Premiere Elements 7 in the usual way without using PE7WS.exe, the workspace that appears will be the last used one.
    The usual disclaimer...
    The utility should be entirely safe in use, but I can't accept responsibility for any loss or damage it might cause. However, the only file manipulation is does is to workspace files in the directory that Premiere Elements 7 uses purely for the purpose - the utility doesn't go anywhere near your precious project files.

    I'm finding it very handy on my particular twin 22" monitor setup to sometimes use a one-screen layout and sometimes a two screen layout. I 'discovered' that having the timeline on the second monitor enables me to tweak edits there while having the playback full size after pressing the "full screen" button on the first monitor. Where the timeline would normally be I have the history, mixer, and other windows always open. As the second monitor is also used by another PC (the one I have the net and email etc on) using "Maxivista" monitor sharing software, I revert to single screen layout when doing stuff like exporting to DVD so I can see what is going on with the render while typing stuff like this.
    Selectable workspaces are dead handy!

  • How can I load and save text using FileReference class

    Let me start by saying I have no intention of using php and I can't wait until flash cs5 comes out with its new read/write capabilities
    I want to load and save XML files (stored on my local hard-drive) in AS3.
    I am using the FileReference class.
    Firstly I have noticed that when using FileReference.save if you replace an existing file instead of writing over the file data is appended to the end of the file. Can I make it so the file is overwritten (as it should be) or make it impossible for the user to save in such a situation.
    Secondly I want to load in text from an external file using FileReference.load I know that somehow you use FileReference.browse first to get it to work but I want to know exactly how to do it.
    I have looked for a tutorial about loading text in this manner and have not found one.
    Any help would be much appreciated especially if you could point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial
    Thanks

    the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.
    if you want to load xml, use the xml class.
    and, if you want to write to an xml file and don't want to use server-side code, wait.

  • Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    Keynote Crashing - with Lion.   Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding.  If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

    I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
    1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
    2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
    3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
    Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
    Good luck and let me know if this works.

    My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage.  Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off.  How do I get past that message?

    Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • My iphoto will not launch, justs loads and freezes

    my iphoto will not launch, justs loads and freezes i cn nor get to my photos

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

    I can't launch Safari. When I right click on the icon, the "Application not responding" is grey and no matter what method I use to Force quit, I get no response.

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
