InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document

InDesign CS5.5 keeps crashing when I open a particular document. This suddenly started happening a few hours ago, and other files are unaffected. I downloaded a backup from last week and that was fine, but I need to get this latest version working again. I've cleared out the Recovery folder, deleted Preferences, and even reinstalled InDesign - all to no avail.
I'm running Windows 8.
Any help gratefully received!

Even after emptying the recovery folder?
It's either a damaged install or a bad font or some other conflict. Do the font trouble-shooter first, then move to checking for a conflict.
To check for a conflict, go to the start button and in the Search field Type msconfig to bring up the configuration utility. Open it, go to the Services tab and click the box to Hide All Microsoft Services. You can uncheck just about anything that's left (for diagnostic purposes) except FLEXnet Licensing Services and a service starting with ##ID_String... which are part of the Adobe licensing sytem and need to be active for Adobe product to run.
Now switch to the Startup tab, and uncheck everything except your mouse driver and the Adobe Service Manager for this version.
Reboot. Ignore the warning about startup in diagnostic mode for the moment and Launch ID and see if it works. If it does, go back msconfig and add back startup programs in groups, rebooting each time and repeat the test until you get a failure. If all the startup programs work, repeat with the services tab. If nothing causes a problem I have no idea what's going on.
On the other hand, if ID fails again straight off with all that stuff disabled, the installtion is corrupt. Run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall while still in diagnostic mode, then run msconfig one last time to restore normal startup.

  • InDesign Cs5 keep crashing when open this file

    Hi guys,
    I am back for another problem with my InDesign. It's been a while since my last problem...
    Right now I'm facing a new problem and I hope you guys can fix this with me..
    So the problem is that just on this file.. Everytime I try to open it, it just crash. But it is fine when I open other files. Yesterday it was fine when I export as PDF, and even package the file. This morning when I tried to open it, it just crash...

    Should I just leave it as it is and try again tomorrow? Maybe it'll work?? :/
    I forgot to do back ups yesterday because I don't bring my external HD. And now I regret it
    Please help?
    Thank you!
    Have a nice day!

    Hi Peter,
    I was trying to export it as .idml and the program crash, so maybe it says file cannot be open because missing maybe because it wasn't finish to export and got crash. Maybe that is why I can't open it.
    well the thing is that my work InDesign Cs5 is bootleg (boo! i know )
    and i was once told not to update them. so i never update until now..
    unless you have a thread where i can read the manual how to update bootleg?
    Thanks Peter!

  • InDesign CS5 keeps crashing when trying to open (windows 7)

    I have the master suite collection and have no issues with the other programs. I don't use InDesign as much as some of the other programs, but now I am trying to use it, and it will not open. The purple box comes up saying that it is initializing, then I get RunTime Error! Program: C... This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. After reading a few posts on the forums I tried to update with the 7.0.4 patch, however, this has done nothing for me. I would reinstall but my Adobe account is no longer showing my download info for my purchase.

    Are you sure you've logged in with the same ID? YOu might call customer service and see if they can find the order, too.
    As far as fixing what's wrong, it does sound like a bad install. You could try running the installer again without uninstalling first, and it might recognize the existing serial number (select repair in the installer), but the odss of it actually working are about 50/50 at best, I think.

  • Indesign CS5 keeps crashing when deleting pages

    Hi folks,
    I'm working in CS5 Indesign on a long document (on a deadline) and trying to delete pages from the pages panel when it just crashes.
    I am working on an Apple Macbook with OS 10.74 and my Indesign is updated to 7.0.4.
    I have been using Indesign all week with no problems and then just an hour ago it starts to crash?
    I don't get any blank warning boxes it just shuts down.
    Any ideas would greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    I had this problem occur also in CS5. I could only insert one page at a time, if I tried to insert any more than that Indesign crashed.
    The document I was working on had two separate Master Pages, Master-A (a 2 page spread) and Master-B (Single page). I found that by deleting the Master-B the problem was solved, I could insert as many pages as needed.
    Hope this helps.

  • InDesign CS5 keeps crashing when I try deleting master pages.

    I am working on a CS4 template (converted to CS5) and each time I try deleting a master page, InDesign crashes. I have also tried the Adobe InDesign 7_0_3 Patch All update but it has not helped. Any tips?

    That worked! Thanks for the tip

    I got the same problem. I tried to import into Flash cs3, cs4, cs5 - constant error in each application.
    But seems I've found the reason why this happened in my case.
    I just deleted the installed system video codecs (divx, xvid, third-party codecs).
    I do not see a direct connection with the import objects into flash. But fact, immediately after the removal of codecs it has to work.
    I suspect that the reason could be a third-party codec that is associated with playing QuickTime. Maybe.
    Also if it does not help you this way, I used a temporary solution.
    Open the psd in Adobe Ilustrator, copy images to clipboard, paste it into flash.
    In my case the images are not displayed on the screen after insert, but put into the library.
    Don't touch objects, just save the file, close the Flash.
    Launch Flash and open saved file. In my case in the first run was an error.
    Close the application and open it with file again.
    The second time the error was not followed, the images were within the document 8-)
    This option made it possible to work until the issue is not solved completely (adobe, wake up!).
    win7 64, cs5 (cs3, cs4 had the same issue)
    Perhaps it can be useful for someone.
    thx
    Sorry for my English.

  • InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's

    InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's - I'm running it on windows 7.0
    I've tried several different PDFs all with the same result
    Any ideas?

    This sounds like it might have been a problem with the selected import options (for example, setting a crop option for a crop box that isn't actually defined in the PDF). These options are "sticky" until changed, so when you have a problem like this it's a good idea to try again and show the import options.

  • My printer setting box has changed and photoshop keeps crashing when I open printer settings

    My CS6 keeps crashing when I open printer settings, and the printer setting dialog window has changed

    Possibly corrupt preferences.
    Hold down Ctrl-alt-shift keys and start Photoshop. A dialog offering to delete the settings should appear. Answer "Yes".

  • Iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise?

    My iphone 4 with latest OS keeps crashing when I open facebook app can someone advise? This is only happeining in the last few days I cannot use facebook on my iphone it crashes and slows down our network/wifi, is this a problem with facebook (latest version downloaded) or OS which is 6.1.3 - anyone any solutions? Thanks

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't work quit the Facebook app. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it jiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then delete the Facebook app and download it again.

  • Just updated to the newest version of Firefox and it keeps crashing when I open the browser. I tried opening it with add-ons disabled and it still keeps crashing. Crash ID: bp-03b36d11-304e-4f80-ab9e-79b7f2111223

    I just updated to the newest version of firefox for my mac laptop. It keeps crashing when I open the browser and does so even in safe mode. Laptop is about two years old. Might it be an issue with the OS? I have not updated to Leopard yet.

    It seems that the problem is related to fonts.
    (1) How were you updating your operating system ?
    If you use *_Software Update_*, hurry up, download and apply the combo updater available from :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    but CAUTION, this update introduce a serious problem with some fonts. At this time the only workaround available is to reinstall 10.6 tyhen apply the combo updater 10.6.6 available from :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1349
    (2) if you didn't used *_Software Update_*, run a maintenance tool like the free MAINTENANCE available from :
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html
    Apply it to clear caches files, mainly those dedicated to fonts.
    It would be also a good idea to check the health of your fonts with FontBook.

  • Logic crashes when I open a particular file

    Hi, Logic just started crashing on me and usually I could reopen the file, undo a few levels and carry on...However I seem to have saved something just before a crash which actually caused the crash, so that now when I open that file Logic crashes immediately, leaving me no time to get in and undo. Until today it's been running nicely. The file has a 90-minute mpeg4 movie and some AU tracks running. I've already trashed the preferences file, and removed the video file to thre trash so it wouldn't be accessible, but still no go. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Logic crashes when I open a particular file...
    As the old joke goes...
    "Well, don't open it then..."
    The first things to do is make some backups of what you have, just in case. Then try booting Logic without the audio drivers (or turn them off) and see if you can load the song.
    Also, try deactivating your third-party plugs (a snap with AUManager, or move them temporarily out of your components folder), and seeing whether it will load then.
    I would guess that the song is corrupted, so once you can get it to load, I would suggest you start copying all the necessary stuff (regions, automation, channel settings etc etc) into a new, uncorrupted song.
    Also, you can try and go back through your auto-numbered backup files, assuming you have the function turned on - you might be able to open a version of the song before the corruption. And if you didn't have that autobackup feature turned on - well, I suggest you do from now on!
    If you get no joy doing all that, post back and we'll go from there.

  • InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open ANY CS5.5 document

    I am using InDesign CS5.5 and can't open any of my InDesign CS5.5 documents. The message "InDesign has stopped working" appears.
    Even when trying to create a new document, again the message "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 has stopped working" - close programme.
    InDesign was working perfectly on Friday. Saved and exported a file to pdf, all okay.
    Are you able to help.

    Hi Peter
    I uninstalled the whole CS5.5, downloaded and ran the cleaning thing, reinstalled the whole suite but it came up with the message that the install had errors … every other module worked except Indesign which still did the same thing .. it would open, but not an existing or new doc … below is the error log
    Did everything again.. same result
    did it again but this time also deleted every folder with reference to 5.5 and cleaned the registry  .. same result
    finally, I did it all again, but this time did NOT install Fireworks (because of the error log below), 32bit Photoshop, Flash or the Apple support thingy .. and it now works !!
    so it seems there is a problem with one or more of the above … was there an update around 24-26 May ??
    Interestingly there's no icon against the Indesign program menu listing (but it still works) but the icon is still shown against all the 'indd' files 
    We rang support about 4 hours ago, they couldn't help but were going to look into it and get back to us 'within the hour' … needless to say they didn’t .. hope this 'work around' goes onto the blog and helps others
    regards

    HI Ohhh Kaye,
    This may not help you since I'm not using a macOS.  I'm running windows 7 with PS 2014.2.2.  However the problem seems similar.  I found this workaround on photoshop.com where people using windows and OSx versions were reporting the issue for well over a year.
    It appears one trigger for this problem is when reusing older photoshop files.  These older Photoshop files have older print settings saved within them.  If your printer driver is newer/changed since the file was made and/or your Photoshop version is newer than when it was created it appears to cause a crash when trying to enter printer driver settings to change them.
    The workaround that worked for me:  Open the old photoshop file.  Jot down the dimensions.  Create a new file w/same dimensions.  Arrange your workspace to "2-up vertical" or something that allows you to see both files at once.  Select all layers on the old file and drag to the new file.  Close the old file.  Align all your layers and content to the new file (keep all layers selected).  Then save the new file.  Now choose print, and then choose print settings.   It should not crash this time. And it will be fine the next time you open it.  That is if this workaround will work for both operating systems and errors anyway. (might not)   Worth a try if you are really trying to print something directly from photoshop.  Otherwise export a pdf and print that.
    Hope it works for you OSX people too.
