InDesign crashes using place command

Question

I'm running CS3 5.0.2 on a G4 Mac using Leopard and every time it try to place something from Photoshop or Illustrator it crashes. I've been using it a couple months without a problem and now the crashes.
I would like to run some utilities on my system but I've always used Norton and they no longer support Mac. I also use Disk Warrior but haven't checked their compatibility with Leopard. I don't know if that would fix the problem but just for future use does anyone have any suggestions on good maintenance software.

Hiya,
Cant' help with the utilities, however...
Are you using or have installed Version Cue?
I ask only on account of these:

Then from 14jan08:

I don't know what they mean, but maybe someone else does.
Also doing the command-option-control-shift / click the InD icon in the dock to fix prefs eases the situation for a while, but i lose some settings that way that i have to reset.
I consider it a good night when CS3 apps crash fewer times than the number of jobs i work.
Cheers,
