Indesign file crashes while trying to save

Question

I'm kind of at the end of my rope and all of the normal things aren't working.
I started having problems suddenly when I tried to add a new page. Every time I tried indesign froze and crashed. I looked for updates and there was one, so I did that. I restarted. No luck. I tried to save as an .IDML, since that usually fixes bugs for me. It can't save as a .IDML without crashing. I tried saving as a .IDML and also exporting.
So I tried packaging it. It crashed, but not before it saved a copy of the file. I opened this on a different computer. Same. Problem.
I don't know what else to do and of course I'm on a deadline. Anyone have any ideas?

Okay, so I happened accross the following link that described what the issue is.  There main problem was with DVDSP but someone suggested I try it to see if it works and voila. It fixed my Motion issue completely. Oddly enough someone else in our department was experiencing a DVDSP problem where it would crash everytime you tried to load an asset.  Applied the same technique described below and works.
Basically it had something to do with a new version of ProKit.  On the website they say that you need to reverse ProKit to an older version, version 5.1, which is compatible with Snow Leopard.  I noticed that the folder in which to find ProKit I actually had two:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
ProKit.framework  - this was version 7.01
ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework - this was version 5.1
Basically what I did was copy ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework to the Desktop.
Drag ProKit.framework to the trash
Rename the ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework on the Desktop to ProKit.framework and put it back into /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
You'll probably need to authenticate somewhere in all of this.
I went ahead a left the Prokit(SnowLeopard).framework in the PrivateFrameworks folder, so this is what it ends up looking like:
ProKit.framework  - this was version 5.1
ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework - this was version 5.1
Before I test it out. I restarted then emptied the Trash.
Hope That Helps
