Illustrator randomly crashes in the middle of a project and sometimes doesn't open files properly?

Hi,
So I'm using Adobe Illustrator 5.5 on a relatively new Dell PC with an uprated graphics card.
Illustrator randomly crashes on me when I'm in the middle of projects saying (Adobe Illustrator is not responding) etc and closes. I lose my work and all the effort I've just put in.
Also, sometimes it will not open a file, says it's unsupported? But then when I close Illustrator and re-open it, the same file will open perfectly fine.
Is this an illustrator bug or is there something wrong with my hardware?
Thanks

  • Downloaded the New iTunes 10.6 and it doesn't open on Windows 7

    Since I ran the update for iTunes 10.6 it won't start, open or do anything. I tried removing iTunes and reinstalling and that didn't work. Also tried a couple fixes I got from googling my problem. Nothing seems to be working to get iTunes to open. Earlier versions worked fine.

    SnowFawn: from my experience, involving three hours of troubleshooting using Apple's tutorials, without help from Apple:
    1. Do the steps here to remove and reinstall all Apple software on your machine, "Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP," at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    2. If you care, they don't tell you or ask you to uninstall MobileMe in those steps.
    3. After I did as they wrote to do, iTunes wouldn't recognize either my iPhone or iPad. On my own I found that Applie's software reinstallation failed to install the Apple Mobile Device Software Driver. So I followed the steps at, "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows," which took me 25 minutes alone to find. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Those steps solved everything and iTunes is now back to normal.

  • I have Creative Suite 4 (amateur) but need to share documents with Indian graphics company and I can't open file properly.  I think I need to upgrade to latest version.  What is the best and most economical way to do this?

    BTW.  I am the amateur, not the software.

    Hi, I tried to export my document yesterday with page transitions and it has jammed system.  I have followed a number of steps as discussed for CS 5, however none of these are working. 
    Exporting to PDF (Print) results in a hung background task that cannot be cancelled. When I attempt to quit InDesign, you get the message, "InDesign cannot quit because one or more tasks are running in the background."
    Can you please help as it has jammed the whole program.
    Thanks

  • The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

    The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.  When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 200 printing random rectangles in the middle of images

    My HP Laserjet Pro 200 color printer is printing random rectangles in the middle of certain images. It doesn't do it all the time, usually it's with any images that are grey, blue, green or brown. I installed brand new HP compatable cartridges and the issue is still happening. I've shut down the printer and restarted it, I've ran the test page and it comes out perfect! Please help.  Heather Whittle 

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • Mac Crashes in the middle of Time Capsule backup --HELP!

    Been using time capsule for several months without any issues. In fact, it has been great until recently. A week or so ago, my MacBookPro began crashing in the middle of a time capsule back up. Just suddenly the MAC curtain comes down and tells me I must restart. When I restart I get an error message which I have copied into this message. I tried erasing a whole months worth of backups but still get the same problem........is it possible my MAC has gotten a virus?? Anyone who can help, your comments would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Steve --
    Got this problem fixed. It seems the 10.5.3 update corrupted the update somehow. You can perform a disk image repair on the existing backup or just delete all your old back ups and start from scratch which is exactly what I did. Good luck!

  • Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I am having difficulties with iPhoto slideshow.  The slide show stops in the middle of a presentation and the system crashes.  I must power off to exit the app and restart my MacBook pro.

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
    I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.
