RoboHelp 8 freezes when I try to open my .xpj

I double-click my .xpj file and RH starts, sometimes it freezes with only the splash screen visible, sometimes it displays the pods but when I click on one RH freezes. I've tried deleting the .cpd and restarting, but get the same result. I am hosed at this point and desperate for help. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Glad you found the solution. You were able to amend your XPJ file which is better than deleting it. Sometimes just deleting it will fix things but that way you can lose other vital information. If ever you have to resort to that extreme, some fixes are on my site under Opening Projects.

  • Ai CS4 keeps freezing when I try to open a file - HELP!!!

    Mac OS X Tiger - Ai CS4 freezes when I try to open a file from either dbl-clicking on the file or opening within Ai. This happened all the time with Ai CS3 so I upgraded, now its happening with the new version. Do I need to allocate more memory to Ai?  If yes, how do I do that? I worked when I first installed, but now it will not allow me to open any of my files.  I do not receive an error message, and I have to force quit the app after it freezes. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Download OnyX, clean out your system caches and repair permissions. If it occurs in eitehr version of AI, it hardly qualifies for the usual trash the prefs, but of course that is never wrong, too...

  • Adobe Reader X freezes when I try to open recent files

    When I try to open recent files, Adobe Reader X will freeze up and will stay that way until I restart the computer. Even logging off won't work. I recently left it alone for around 5-10 minutes and Windows finally did end up stopping the process, but this is not normal. Any ideas for a fix?

    Nope. That didn't do it. It won't even let me end the process AcroRd32.exe. I confirmed that after around 10 minutes, it finally closed on it's own. I just also confirmed that it's a problem with accessing files on my network, not local files. The odd thing is that I can use the Open tool, go the folder and open that file fine, but when I try to open the same file under the recent files, it freezes up. This may have to do with the fact that this is a mapped network drive. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Re: screen freezing when I try to open a screen in Iexplorer

    I have a Satellite P200 duo core with 2GB of memory. Quite often when I try to open a screen in ieplorer the screen freezes and goes white. When I look at the computer performance it tells me the CPU is working at 100% and the physical memory at just 50%. Would increasing the memory to 4GBhelp or is there anything else I should try?
    I am using Vi
    JohnF

    Hey,
    Usually for all OS 2GB memory should be enough and in my opinion an upgrade to 4GB is only necessary if you run programs (e. g. games) they need a lot of memory.
    As Akuma wrote, I think a software toolbar or something else causes the high CPU usage so remove them.
    Make also sure that you are using newest version of Internet Explorer.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when I try to open anything

    Whenever I boot up my MacBook Pro, I let it warm up for about 5 minutes. Then, when I try and click and click on anything, like the browser, the whole computer freezes and the only thing I can do is force it to shut down by holding down the power button. Then I boot up into safe mode, restart the computer and everything works fine. Anything know what the problem is? Thanks

    When you next have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Illustrator & Photoshop CS3 Freeze When I Try to Open a Document

    I have CS3 installed, and just since yesterday, when I open photoshop or illustrator and then try to open a document (just from file-open), the entire program freezes and won't let me click anywhere. I have to ctrl-alt-del to get the program closed. I have restarted my computer numerous times. If I don't have photoshop or illustrator open and go to my computer and find the file I want to open and double-click on it, it will open that document. But while that document is open, if I go to file-open, it then freezes again. Anyone know how to fix this?

    That is I take it Pages '06? Which is a bit long in the tooth.
    I'm trying unsuccessfully to find the minimum requirement for OSX 10.6, but yours may not be compatible with Snow Leopard.
    Your contacts are no doubt using either Pages '08 or Pages '09 which as later versions can open yours but you can not open theirs.
    Updating from Pages '06 is a no brainer IMHO.

  • I can't turn off my passcode. My phone keeps freezing when I try to open my phone or turn the passcode off. What do I do?

    When I go to open my phone normally my pass code screen pops up. It was working fine all day and then all of a sudden it started freezing. If I slide the bar across to open my phone it just freezes on that screen and I can't get into my phone. I had to shut my phone completely down to get in. I tried to turn my pass code off and I can't even get into that screen. So please help!

    Try resetting by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • Firefox keeps freezing when I try to open the add-ons menu.

    When ever I try to open the Add-ons menu under Tools on my firefox, it keeps freezing. I also noticed that my time clock that is normally on the bottom right of my firefox window is no longer there either.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • Imovie '09 freezes when I try to open it. Help?

    Hi,
    I'm knee deep in a video editing project and I've been editing every day. I'm trying to upload this video on Christmas day, tomorrow. Today I open up Imovie to finish the editing and for some reason, it's freezing. The video and clips won't load and I can't even access the Project Manager or anything. I right click on the icon but it comes up as "Not Responding". I force quit. I thought it just a fluke, but I've tried a half dozen times, tried restarting my computer, etc, and nothing helps. It freezes up as soon as I try to open it every time. This is exceptionally frustrating as, like I mentioned, I'm trying to upload this video tomorrow.
    And there have been no changes I know about to my system. I haven't updated, downloaded, or uploaded anything that I can think of recently. It was working just fine yesterday. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

  • I have Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and need to create an iDVD but it freezes when I try to open it. Also same with iMovie (8.0.6)??

    Can't open either my version of iDVD (and seems Apple no longer has iDVD??) or iMovie (8.0.6) with my MacBook Pro with Mavericks? Is it not possible to create DVDs anymore with Mavericks, which is what I want to do?  Creating DVDs with iDVD was what I do most??  Any help with these issues?
    Thanks
    Hal

    Allen, Thanks for answering. When I try this, I get nowhere:
    In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
    Open the Library folder and then the Preferences folder.
    Remove the "com.apple.x.plist" file, where "x" should be replaced with the iLife application you are troubleshooting (for example, "com.apple.iphoto.plist" or "com.apple.imovie8.plist").
    Remove receipts and reinstall iLife applications
    I cant find either the Library or Preferences folders. Are they invisible and somewhere else?
    I search with Spot Light for them,  I also do not find them....
    Advice?
    Thanks,
    Hal

  • Muse 2014.2 Freezes when I try to open my site.

    I haven't updated my web site since August, and today I needed to work on my site - but upon opening the file, Muse freezes and I have to use the task manager to shut down the program.  I tried opening the file various times, uninstalled Muse and re-installed it to no avail.  I need to update my site for business purposes and this is causing me grief.  Please, I need help!

    The fact you were able to open the site on another computer leads me to suspect there's either something in the Muse preferences that's causing a problem, or something related to the linked asset files (since the linked files may not have been available when you opened the file on another computer).
    Please rename the two preferences folders.
    Enter "%appdata%" in a File Explorer window. Among the other files there you should find a folder named "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2". Rename it to "com.adobe.AdobeMuseCC.2014.2.old".
    Next enter "%appdata%\Adobe\Adobe Muse CC" in a File Explorer window and rename the "2014.2" folder you should find there to "2014.2.old".
    Launch Muse and attempt to open your file. If that works, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send me the two renamed preferences folders so we can attempt to determine what was causing the hang. You can send them to me at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If they're larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include a link to this thread and your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include your return e-mail in the sharing invite they send.) Thanks.
    If the file still doesn't open, please try renaming the folder where the images and any other assets you've used in the file are stored (so the links to the asset files are broken). Then attempt to open the file. If that works, there's probably one or more asset files that are triggering the hang.
    If that doesn't work, please send me the .muse file and I'll attempt to reproduce the failure. Though the fact you were able to open the file on another machine makes me suspect it's unlikely the file will fail for me. You can send the .muse file to me at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include a link to this thread and your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include your return address in the sharing invite they send.)
