[SOLVED] Open Office Calc Freezes When Saving

Hello everyone. I have a VERY simple spreadsheet (not a single formula at all, only three columns) that I was updating tonight. I just changed a few fields and went to save it. Unfortunately, it froze. Even worse, I can reproduce this every time I open it and save. Once in a while I can save the document, but most of the time I cannot. I even tried creating a new Calc spreadsheet and am having the same issue.
Are any of you having the same issue?

Thanks! I'll do that when I get home.

CS2 freezes when saving files

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and suddenly my files freeze when saving. Runing version 9.0.2. Can anyone help?

Photoshop CS2. When I work on a file and click "save" it freezes. If I click save as, using the same name it freezes. If I save it and number or change the file name it save correctly without freezing. i.e. Save 1.jpg' save 2.jpg etc.

Lire et écrire des données dans open office calc avec Labview + info suplémentaire NI-845x

Bonjour,
j'ai à ce jour un interface à réaliser sous Labview 8.5 à l'aide du module NI-845X.
Du coup premiere question quelqu'un aurait-il déjà réaliser des acquisitions et écritures sur des CAN et MEMOIRE à l'aide de ce module?
Ensuite je cherche à enregistrer les data reçus dans des doc open office calc et à lire les données d'un doc open office calc et les recopier dans une memoire.
Pourrais-je avoir quelques exemples (hormis ceux déjà présent dans Labview 8.5), ou des infos pour me lancer?
Merci d'avance
Julie

Bonjour Julie,
Merci d'avoir posté sur le forum National Instruments.
Concernant la communication avec le module 8451, avez-vous jeter un oeil à cet exemple?
Pour ce qui est d'open office, si vous souhaitez uniquement écrire dans un fichier qui puisse être ouvert ensuite sous open office, le formant csv proposé par Rodéric est une bonne solution.
Bonne journée,

Safari freezes when saving to PDF

Hi Folks
Well... Safari doesn't freeze when saving a web document to PDF, but somehow, it gets stuck for many seconds and later it pop ups a banner which says that it can't connect with Server "Martin" (me, which I guess is the name given to the MacPro).
So I'm using the MBP as "Desktop Computer" and conneted via FireWire to the MacPro. The weird thing is that I already unmounted the disks, unpluged the FireWire cable and turned off the MacPro, but the MBP still looking for the named server.
I think that's because some sharing configurations, but I'm not sharing the Printer (I don't have one, so discard that ).
So well... this issue is pretty annoying because I have to save as PDF many web documents and the "thinking" time of the computer by looking for that server is a big waste of time.
Can anybody help me here?
Thanks a lot!
Ø3
PS:
Here is a pic if needed:

Hey Linc it happens when I click on the PDF button. After a while, the pull down menu appears with the respective options, so it happens before the process of saving the file (selecting file type, folder, etc, and save).
Hope this helps you to find something. I have not tried deleting the MacPro from the Sharing Propierties in the MBP and see if the MBP keeps seeking for that server. Will try that later and update here.
Thanks for taking the time, man!

Firefox freezes when saving, printing, or otherwise opening "sub-windows"

Firefox freezes when I open a window to save, print, etc. - not always, but far too often. If I dare try to choose another folder in which to save, I'm even more likely to make it freeze.
When it happens for the first time after opening Firefox, I can often wait several minutes, then it unfreezes, and I can then do one or two more clicks (e.g., scroll, save, etc.) before it freezes again. Otherwise (or the next time, if I didn't restart Firefox in the meantime), the program just gets completely unresponsive, and I have to close it via the Task Manager. So there's unfortunately no error message, crash ID, etc.
Possibly related: When I'm using Firefox for a while (with many Firefox windows open), I'm often not getting menus displayed anymore, just the outline of the menus. The program still reacts to clicks into the outline, but it's like driving blindfolded... Menus include those from the menu bar, those from right-clicking into a website, or those from Adblock Plus (icon in the bar, at the right bottom of each window).
I'm currently still using 3.6.13 (with Adblock Plus) on a Windows 7 (x64) machine. The problem has persisted long before I've updated to this or previous Firefox versions... possibly since I've been using it on this computer (= summer 2010), but I'm not sure. I should add that I *am* using Firefox with lots (!) of Firefox windows open simultaneously, and I often let my computer hibernate rather than shut it down every single time I walk away... but I've been doing that for at least 5 years now (using tons of Firefox windows even much longer, still with Windows 95 or 98), and the problem is new. And limited to Firefox. (Indeed I can even open pages, on which Firefox has just crashed, in Internet Explorer or Opera, and then peacefully save, print, etc. there.)
I'd prefer to keep Firefox as my standard browser, but the problem is getting too annoying! Thanks for your help!!

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Office 2013 hangs when saving files to local profile locations on Windows 2012 server

We installed Office 2013 a few weeks ago instead of Office 2003 on a Windows 2012 standard terminal server. We installed the last updates and Office is up-to-date now, but we experience problems with saving word, excel and powerpoint documents when we start
a new/clean document. It's not possible to save our documents to the local profile (desktop, documents etc.), but it's no problem to save our stuff to a network share on a different server.
Word is not responding after pressing save or save as and after a few seconds we see the 'microsoft is looking for a solution and will restart microsoft word'.
We did a complete reinstall of Office 2013 and removed the old installation with the removal tool from the microsoft website, without luck. We have the same saving issues with Office 2010, so it's not an Office 2013 issue.
We were looking in the access/rights on the terminal server, because we thought that it was an access/rights issue. But unfortunately we have the same problem with an domain admin user.
I tried to disable DEP and my AVG 2012 antivirus, but this steps are also not the issue.
I'm looking for a solution and i'm working on this case for a few days now. It gives me a headache when i'm thinking about a clean installation of this server. So please contact me when you have a solution or a tip to solve this problems!
Thanks!

[solved] Open Office default paper size

Short answer: install libpaper.
I was having quite a time getting Open Office to default to Letter. For some reason its default is A4. This is an old problem, and in most forums the solutions were to set the paper size in OO (one place is Format->Page->Page), then save the setting as a template with File->Templates->Save. But when I tried that I got "Error writing document Untitled1 as template".
Finally came across a thread saying to check the output of two commands, "locale" and "paperconf". Locale ran, but paperconf was missing. Install libpaper to get paperconf.

Hello Sawest,
Thanks for the post. With this one, the Apple Links were provided for the post above yours. It sounds like either your default printer has been changed in XP or removed, especially since you indicated you lost your ability to scan. As far a re-installation, sound like a good idea based on your description of the printers behavior. Yes, depending on which model of printer that you have and operating system, you can locate drivers that can be downloaded and installed to get you back and running again. Locate your printer model and then go here:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Plug in you model and go to software and drivers, choose your OS and then you can see what is available for download. I hope this helps, Good Luck!
I worked for HP but my posts and replies are my own....Thank you!

Photoshop CS4 "Freezes" when saving as a JPEG

I have been using Photoshop CS4 with SnowLeopard and my MacPro for months now without a problem. I save multiple images everyday, often as JPEGs for the Web. But today, out of the blue with nothing changing (no new updates, or plugins), Photoshop "locks up" when saving a JPEG. I can still move the curser arrow, but everything is dead and the file did not save. I have to hit ESC just to get PS back online. I can save other file types, no problem.
Has anyone experienced this? Any help or solutions? I have the latest version of PS CS4.
(Note: If I go under Save for Web & Devices I can save it as a JPEG, but seems like an less than timely run-around)

I have not experienced that problem, but with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, etc.) might also be beneficial.

Linking BIW / RRMX to Open Office Calc.

1. How Can BIW be linked to Calc instead of Excel.
2. How can BIW RRMX / BES be linked to Calc.
3. Presently mht files which are generated as a result of report broadcasting, can be opened in Calc as word files. If I cut & paste this sheet into another Calc Excel sheet, they shows as proper Calc files. So, my query is how to open the mht files directly as a Calc file.
Thanks
Milind Karoor

In general:
The OS determines what Executable is used for what extension/mime.
So on MS Windows you should map .xls extention to be opened with Calc.
This could answer your question 1 and 4.
Related to your questions:
SAP BI and MS Excel need each other, so forget question 2 this is not going to happen/work as SAP has written specific enhancements for MS Excel to make this work. You cannot just replace it. And even if you would get it to work you will never ever get support from SAP on it.

Illustrator CS3 freezes when saving or opening ANY files

Yesterday while running Illustrator (13.0.0), Photoshop and AfterEffects (CS3 for all), Illustrator suddenly started hanging (spinning beachball) when I tried to save a small file. Subsequently noticed it would no longer open files, or save any other files - always spinning the beachball when opening or saving. Force-quitting says "Illustrator not responding".
I trashed Illustrator prefs - same problem.
I re-booted - same problem.
Updated to 13.0.1 - same problem.
No problem saving/opening files in other apps.
Also tried running a previous install of Illustrator CS2, and now THAT has the same save/open beachball spinning problem, too! I've gotta get this running.
Don't know what to try next, short of a complete re-install.
Been running all CS3 apps trouble-free for 4.5 months, nothing new installed, no new fonts.
Any suggestions?
Mac OS 10.4.1, Dual 2.7 PPC G5, 4.5 GB RAM

Donna - Fortunately I did get Illustrator saving and opening again, unfortunately I'm not exactly sure what solved the problem. I went through the routine of dumping prefs a few times, restarting, etc., but also added a string of expletives along the way, and eventually the thing just started to work again.
I think the solution had to do with the expletives, but I can't remember the exact order in which I screamed them.
Wish I could be of more help.

Illustrator CS4 and CS3 freeze when saving a PDF as an AI file

I'm trying to pull apart a couple of PDFs into layers to import them into After Effects. I do this all the time and it's a pretty standard thing which I haven't had any trouble with before, but for the last couple of days whenever I try to save the PDF as an AI file, the damn thing freezes - I get the washing machine of death (I'm on Vista), the program goes greyed out and I have to restart it, losing all the changes. I've tried the following, none of which seem to make any difference:
- Saving to a different drive (C as opposed to an external USB drive)
- Trying to open the PDFs in CS3 rather than CS4
- Trying a couple of different PDFs
I can't reinstall Illustrator as I'm not at the office until the new year and don't have the disks. The PDFs are small (300k or so) and so it shouldn't be their size making the machine hang, surely? I've attached a sample. Specs are - dual core Dell M6300 laptop, 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, Quadro 1600 graphics.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received....

Sorry I haven't replied in a few days (I'm at my parents' house for Christmas, so not the ideal place to sort out Illustrator problems )
This is REALLY weird. I was wondering whether Illustrator would be able to save PDFs (which are after all basically the same thing as AI files for this purpose) to get around the problem that way. I tried: it saved the thing fine. Next I tried saving what I'd just saved as a PDF, as an AI file. It saved it in a flash without any problems. (This is with the trashed prefs file - I haven't tried reinstating it, yet.) I've just loaded up a 14Mb AI file, and saved it again without trouble.
There's only one thing I can think of that has been changed since the last time I tried this, when Illustrator wasn't working. This is something which was definitely affecting Word 2007: I've deleted a couple of network printers that were on nonexistent IP addresses. (Word wouldn't load anything, even the most basic of docs - it just froze; washing machine of death, grey screen, etc.) The default printer is thus now a Canon USB thing, which isn't plugged in either, but which Windows seems happy to carry on without. Word seemed unable to continue with the network printers installed, as presumably it was trying to contact them and failing. Could Illustrator have been falling into the same trap??
Anyway, whatever the problem, it seems to be working OK now. Thanks both and hope you have a merry Christmas and New Year period.
Best

Browser freezes when saving or printing to pdf

I have windows 7 and acrobat 9. Lately, when I open a pdf document from an Internet browser screen I am both unable to save it or print it to pdf. When I save nothing happens. When I attempt to print to pdf it stalls at the screen where it allows you to name the document. In addition, today I received the error message from acrodist.exe that the JP2klib.dll was not found. What is happening? Why? and What should I do?

thanks so much for helping walk through troubleshooting. i tried the print to file and it did react the same as when I do save as. basically the screen blinks, does not freeze, but I am unable to find a saved file anywhere. I checked the properties and it is setup that it is supposed to give me the prompt to save with a specific name in a specific place but it isn't doing so. I looked in downloads, appfiles, desktop. I even tried looking in recently filed and searching for all .pdf. and .ps files on my c drive and can't find anything.
actotray is running in the background. in addition, when I tried to print to pdf without the print to file clicked, i noted that additionally the following were running acrobroker and avgcsrvx.exe.
i did the repair installation but am experiencing the same problems. Should I try to uninstall and then reinstall? If that is the only solution I will try that later on in the week because I am currently just using the email option as a workaround to this problem and that should get me through the week.

Office 2013 freezing when running in compatibility mode.

When a 1997-2003 doc is opened in Office 2003 it opens in compatibility mode and causes lock ups/delays. This issue is replicated with a network and local copy of the file to negate issues on comms side. No memory/processing spikes, occuring. Uninstalled/deleted
reg keys/reinstalled, issue remains. All updates and up to date drivers installed. Is this a common fault/something you guys have dealt with before?
I have left our client with a workaround in the form of converting the file to the new file format, however, this particular user has vast amounts of 1997-2003 docs so a fix is highly prefereable.

you can refer to this, check if works

ALL CS6 Apps Freeze When SAVING file to External HD

Ok Adobe, help me out here before I reconsider my longstanding glee with Master Suite CS4. I recently subscribed to the Creative Cloud, downloaded, installed and activated ALL applications. All applications have since been updated via the Adobe updater and no other updates show as available. Note: since first issue, this process has been repeated to ensure a complete and successful instal.
All applications open and are fully functional, with a few speed issues in Photoshop and Illustrator noticed so far.
Now, immediately upon installing CS6 via Creative Cloud, I can no longer SAVE any files, from any of the Adobe CS6 or CS4 apps to an external HD without the application freezing and completely crashing my system. If I click SAVE AS or work from any file on my local HD I don't have any issue, but I'm NOT going through life having to perform these multiple steps.
Once the Creative Cloud app freezes, my entire system freezes and I need to hard-restart the system. Not good...
Keep in mind, the issue appears only to happen when I'm working from a file located on any of the external HD's and trying to SAVE edits, etc. The first SAVE or SAVE AS seems to work without freeze.
NOTE: I only have issues with Adobe products and only since I installed them from the Creative Cloud. I also see that thousands of others are experiencing the same issue, but no Adobe fix has been supplied/suggested. I have not needed any Mac updates since BEFORE I installed from Creative Cloud and CS4 was working flawlessly up to the minute I subscribed to Creative Cloud.
My system Info:
- Mac OSX 10.7.4 (up to date and running flawlessly)
- Apple Time Capsule setup as external HD (not used for Time Machine)
- LaCie BigDisk external HD
- All fonts have been validated and duplicate/broken fonts removed, cache cleaned, etc.
- Open CL in Photoshop disabled with no positive results.
- Auto save is OFF on system
Questions:
1. Why did Creative Cloud install completely new CS6 apps and not upgrade to overwrite the existing CS4 apps?
2. How do we upgrade from CS4 to Creative Cloud without having two installs; previous and new versions of apps?
3. What is the fix?
4. Loyalty and enthusiasm are waning - please reply ASAP.
Long time Adobe customer - Thanks, AZH

No Adobe upgrade, except Acrobat will ever replace the old install. This has nothing to do with Creative Cloud.
Bob
