InDesign Crashes Whenever I Use the Type Tool

Question

Whenever I type anything into a text box, InDesign freezes and then shuts down. I can only type 1 or 2 letters before this happens and it happens every time whether the document is a new one or an existing one.  I can place a picture into the document with no problems.
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard and wonder if this has anything to do with it. I run a Mac with CS5 InDesign Version 7.04.
The crash report informs me 'EXC BAD ACCESS(SIGBUS)" and "Kern Protection Failure", which means nothing to me.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Wickoo:
Looks like you have several options open to you:
1. As Peter Spier suggested in #17, please export your document to IDML and open the exported file and see if the problems persist.
2. Email your file to Ariza-san. Perhaps you are not aware, but it is actually extremely rare for Adobe employees to offer your this level of diagnostic. Count yourself very lucky and take advantage of it!
3. You might also also try exporting one of the stories to InDesign Tagged Text, deleting the existing story, and re-importing the story. But I'd try that last.
All I can think of is that there might be a conflict between the text in the old documents, created with LILO, and the new text added which had LILO unplugged. Is this feasible?
This doesn't really make sense. You were having the same problem before you removed the LILO plugin, correct?
In any case, is it possible to get LILO back? It is present in my computer.
This question is also quite confusing. If you have it installed, you have it installed. If you moved it out of the Plug-Ins folder, all you need to do to restore it is to move it back. What is the question?
John, the only possible Unicode I have is the British pound symbol.
Well, it only takes one. There is an outside (low) possibility your crash is related to unicode characters. I would see if you can replicate the problem in documents that lack the £. But try the other suggestions first!
