Why Illustrator 10 crashes using files previously written to CD?

Help!  I'm using Illustrator 10 in Windows XP Pro, s.p. 3.  Lenovo p.c.
  Want to copy files to a c.d. using CD Write Wizard (Windows program).  OK with straight .ai files, but had trouble with composited files (ie, multiple .ai files placed on one page) until realized that I had to first save the composite file as tif or eps with embedded .ai files.  OK, was then able to complete the copy without crashing.  But now, I can open a composite file (.eps or .tif) once in Illustrator, but when I try to open another file, Illlustrator just shuts down,  If re-open and try to open another file from the CD, I get a Windows fatal error.  Says "cannot reference memory xxxyyy".  Suggestions appreciated.

Copy the files to your hard  drive and try opening them from the hard drive, faster access tiems adn taeks some variables out of the picture..
If you are still having trouble, copy all your placed files into a folder and call it "images_unlinked" then try to open your illuitrator file. Sometimes a corrupt image can cause your memory table to become corrupted.

  • Anyone have a solution to why Illustrator CC crashes on Mac Pro running OS 10.6.8?

    Anyone have a solution to why Illustrator CC crashes on Mac Pro running OS 10.6.8?

    We recently (yesterday) upgraded our Adobe apps to CC versions. InDesign, Photoshop and Bridge all run perfectly. Illustrator crashes at startup. Tried launching it from Administrator account and it crashes. I have disabled fonts except the bare minimum, no success. If it would launch, then I might be able to narrow it down to an incompatible print driver, but it has to actually be running first. We use no third party plugins with it, so I doubt that is the issue.

  • Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?

    Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?  When signing up for iCloud I'm asked to choose an email address [email protected]  I am already using an @me address via moblileme.  When i input that address it states that that address is already taken.  Try picking a new one.  I don't want a new one I want to use my mobileme address.  How can that be done?

    It appears you set up a new iCloud account rather than migrating your MobileMe account over to iCloud.  I migrated everything over this morning and am still using my old MobileMe email address.
    Check to see if you can migrate rather than open a new account.

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes using Effect Stylize Drop Shadow. There's a work-around

    Illustrator CS6 crashes when using Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow on a regular shape e.g. rectangle created by the Ractangle Tool.
    I select the shape, apply the effect and it will crash giving this warning dialog: "The operation cannot complete of an unknown error: [CANT]". Then Illustrator CS6 crashes.
    This is the crash report in Windows 7 32-bit:
    Faulting application name: Illustrator.exe, version: 16.0.0.682, time stamp: 0x4f6e762b
    Faulting module name: MMXCore.8BX_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4f44e8d6
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    The crash happens about 90% of the time.
    Possible work-around:
    Since I experienced some strange behaviour of CS6 applications before, I experimented witn running Illustrator as an administrator (elevated privileges). When I do that, I can apply the effect without Illustrator CS6 crashing. Here I go again..elevated privileges (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4432510) .
    I have to admit, this is one of the many strange behaviours in CS6 applications that make their performance and reliability very unpredictable.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    When will you users on the Window platform learn to repair your permissions the problem when installing any software is that the permissions may not be set properly and this may be caused by the way previously installed software has changed your system.
    Because there's no need to do a "repair permissions" thing, that being a bizarre Apple concept.  In Windows, the software installation neither "sets permissions properly" nor does previously installed software "change your system" (whatever that means).  Windows installation packages run under a special account to copy files into their proper directories without having to "change system properties".  It's all done automagically and managed by Windows, not by individual applications.

    KNow I know that with windows users it is a very unpopular premise that the permission might need to be repaired but they do from time to time and I believe unfortunately that on the Windows platform it is a manual procedure but there may be a utility that can do it for you.
    Like I said, all of that makes no sense on Windows.

    Of course your settings folder could also be corrupt.
    I did rename the Prefs, and AI did re-create it, and the SFW problem I described was resolved.  Great!, I thought, until I closed AI and opened it again -- Boom!  Same problem.
    The problems I described happen because software developers (and the Q&A testing teams) have an arrogant attitude -- they think "I'm the King of my computer and, by God, I'm going to run my computer as the most powerful user I can be."  So they do all their work under the elevated privileges of an administrator account, and are completely surprised and clueless when their software fails to run under a standard user account.  (Always running one's computer under the reduced privileges of a standard user account, by the way, is the recognized Best Practice for safe computing; and in these times it is now unacceptable to require elevated privileges to run an application....)

  • Why oc4j allows to use File IOs and manage thread in EJB?

    I don't understand why Oc4j 9.0.2 allows to use File IO and create thread in EJBs? These things should be denied in its implemenation.

    Any chance I can get this data?

  • Illustrator CS3 crashes when file opened

    However I try to open any illustrator file the app crashes. Has been running smoothly for ages. Have run through suggested things like removing prefs - and have reinstalled from disk but still the same problem... HELP
    (Running the latest OSX)

    I have the same problem,
    Nini Tjäder, "Illustrator crashes when opening an .ai document" #1, 26 Nov 2008 2:18 pm
    as do several other people in the office where I work. The supposed solution of trashing the Preferences folder does no good at all. There is something seriously wrong with AI CS3 on Mac and Adobe doesn't seem to know or care. Why is that?

  • JSP:I changed a class but WHY IT WANTS TO USE THE PREVIOUS ONE? HELP!!!!!!!

    I am using HTMLform+JSP+javabean for executing a query into the database end showing the retrieved values.
    For Building the query end Executing the query SQLQueryBean.class was used and it worked;
    For showing retrieved values SQLResultSetBean.class was used: but the error page displaied cannot instanciate sql.SQLResultSetBean
    After having tried many stuff I changed SQLResultSetBean with SQLQueryResultsBean.java that pratically works in a similar manner but I received error related with SQLResultSetBean.class ...WHY MY CHANGES HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED?

  • Photoshop CS4 crashes using File | Open

    Hoping someone can help me here.  Photoshop always crashes when using the File | Open dialog box.  I can navigate to a photo in the dialog box but when I click Open it immediately crashes.  I can open a file through the Finder by clicking Open With then selecting Photoshop and it works fine.  Any ideas?  Here's a snippet of the crash report:

    You say it always crashes - run Onyx on your system.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    As a side note  - You are using Snow Leopard. Unfortunately it does seem to crash sometimes when Opening and Saving files. There is also a long pause when saving files, which I notice. This happens on large files.
    I am in the same position having just started a long freelance job on a new mac with Snow Leopard pre-installed. On an extremely production heavy job with many saves on large files and incredibly tight deadlines, its possible I will lose a lot of work. I have noticed some improvement maybe, since upgrading to 10.6.3?
    Personally I may try to wipe the drive and install Leopard, but I am not sure if this is possible.

  • Why Illustrator won't use VGA or GPU in laptops and desktops. ?

    I am really got pissed off with illustrator because it cannot handle big files sometimes. When I apply massive affetcs with many objects..... it says error or it wont apply any effects and it is slow without a GPU.
    I hope illustrator can utilize the VGA effectively.
    Please Adobe give the illustrator an update to use the VGA in desktops as well as the GPU in Laptops !

    I'm pretty sure Ai operates using 2 primary sources of memory: 1.) RAM, and 2.) Scratch Disk space.  GPU refers to the amount of memory available to your graphics card ( if I'm not mistaken ).  RAM usually operates your system and your applications.  Part of that is fulfilling commands.  When it comes to processing effects and saving, Ai usually has to access scratch disk space ( i.e., your hard drive(s) ).  Over time that space can become fragmented and there is not enough "chunks" of space to access and the operation fails.  Try clearing some space and/or check your permissions ( Mac ).  If you are on a PC; run some routine maintanence scripts to clean things up a bit.

  • Going crazy. Yosemite CS 6 Illustrator will not open files!!!

    Help. I have tried many numerous things but to no avail. uninstall, adobe clean, re-install, delete prefs...Cannot figure out why Illustrator doesn't open files. All the other CS 6 programs seem fine. ???

    Sorry Larry! I'll try to be more clear.
    Basically, when I create a new CMYK document in Illustrator I am having issues saving it as a cmyk pdf file even though I am using the using the Press Quality and PDFX-1a presets. Normally, those settings would create a CMYK pdf file but when I view the color modes in Acrobat and Photoshop those programs are telling me they are in RGB formats.
    I have been viewing the color mode in Acrobat Pro by going to print>Advanced. Under the Color Management section on the right the color Profile reads Working RGB: Adobe RGB (1998). See screenshot below.
    When I try to open the .pdf files in Photoshop to check the color mode, the mode is showing up as RGB as well. See screenshot below.
    Hopefully that makes more sense. If you need any other information or clarification, just hollar! Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

  • Why does my illustrator CC crash when I save my files?

    I own/manage a print/design company. We have 4 PC's running the Adobe Suite. We have recently all had issues when saving files in AI. When files begin to save the program freezes for up to 30-45 seconds, if we click anywhere during that time a window comes up saying that "Adobe illustrator has crashed" The PC's are fully upgraded, SSD's, 2GB GTI cards, 32GB ram and a big scratch disk for the Adobe Suite.
    What causes this?

    I just got this computer in December. I have been using CS5 with no problems at all. Yesterday, I tried to save a very simple file to the desktop and illustrator crashed. It is happening any time I try to save the file to anyplace other than the one file that comes up when I use the "save as" or "save" command. Its happening no matter how small the file is.
    I have already removed almost everything from my desktop as one person suggested. I have uninstalled illustrator, run the cleaner program, restarted and re installed illustrator. I have updated illustrator to the current version.
    I am using osx yosemite 10.10.2
    I have 16 g of memory.
    I have 258G free out of 500G total of storage.
    I am at a loss.
    Do you know why it would be crashing?
    Please help.
    Thank you.

  • Illustrator CC Crashes on Save, Why?

    Illustrator CC crashes upon saving using OS X 10.75 on a Mac, with Dual Core Intel Xeon processor and 5 MB of memory. Tahoma and Verdana fonts are intalled. Why is this happening? Any help would be appreciated. We cannot save a crash log, because the computer freezes, and we have to restart!

    Hi Monika,
    We are saving the files to a Mac Time Capsule, but we have tried saving to
    the desktop as well, and the result is the same.
    This happens to most files. We had one file we were able to save today, but
    on occasion, we can save a file once, and then it crashes the second time
    you try to save.
    New and old files have been tested with the same result.
    We have a printer on our network, and it is turned on.
    There are no plugins installed.
    There are no fonts in the file. We have tried saving even a blank document,
    or just a square with the same result.
    The Mac with the problem is one of three in our office. Illustrator CC is
    running on all three. The other two can save without a problem. They are
    both running OS X Mavericks, however Illustrator runs extremely slow as
    compared to the Illustrator 4 we were running previously. All have Suitcase
    Fusion 5.

  • Illustrator CS3 crashes in "Open file" dialog when making a copy of a file

    Hi!
    I have a user, who has quite a weird problem. We use the Design Standard CS3 package, since we can't afford to upgrade all 20 users to CS5 right now.
    The problem occurs in Illustrator, when she goes to the "Open File" dialog. She often makes copies of files in there (ctrl+c, ctrl+v), so she has a backup of the file she's currently working on. Why she won't use Explorer to do that, I can't say.. she said something about it being easier this way.
    The problem is, that often when she presses ctrl+v Illustrator crashes without warning. Usually when Illustrator crashes there's a warning about not enough memory, an error report or stuff like that, but none of that happens. It's fully patched (13.0.2), and there's no problem with the Print Spooler or the default printer.
    I'm unable to replicate it on my computer, unfortunately, so I'm turning to you. Have any of you ever heard about this, seen it somewhere - and do you know what causes it?
    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Sorry, forgot to add that she's running Windows XP SP3, fully updated, 32-bit on a HP Z400 Workstation.

  • Solved the Illustrator CS3 Crash Error upon saving file on my OS.

    I was unable to save any Illustrator file. Upon saving a file Illustrator CS3 crashed and an error message would pop up and windows error reporting service would be launched to report the error and close Illustrator.exe.
    Until i found out that i had the "Print Spooler Service" set to manual. I always start this service manually when need to print things. So, when i started this service and did a print from MS Word, and latter on thought to give Adobe Illustrator another try, i created an illustration and click on save and WOW it saved my file without any crashes.
    To test this worked fully, i opened an older version .ai file and did some changes and used the save and save as command, both worked.
    I am relieved now.

    This one is for all of you who couldn't get the above to work:
    I have Windows XP and CS3 Illustrator.
    This same problem happened to me in Photoshop. To fix it, I stopped Version Cue from grabbing the "Save As" window before I could save. Here's how:
    In Photoshop:
    Edit > Preferences > File Handling...
    In the last box, uncheck "Enable Version Cue." Problem solved. (I believe this may be turned on during Adobe update, but I am unsure. What I do know is the problem stems entirely from Version Cue.)
    The fix for Illustrator is a bit more complex. The same thing happened to me in Illustrator (and it used to save just fine without any changes on my part) but Version Cue was already unchecked. That is why I wound up on this thread.
    1) In Illustrator:
    Edit > Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard
    2) Uncheck "Enable Version Cue" (if it is already unchecked, this is okay, that is how mine was)
    3) Go into Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)
    Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Support Files > Contents > Windows
    4) In this folder is a sub folder called "Version Cue." Rename "Version Cue" to something else like "OLD Version Cue".
    5) You can now save files in Illustrator (may require relaunch of Illustrator).
    ***NOTE***
    From one of the above posts I found that to keep from having to kill Illustrator every time it freezes on save (pre-fix) hold down "Alt+F4" to close the invisible "Save as" window that is locking things up.
    If the above does not work, try some of the other things I did which I do not believe made a difference, but just in case:
    1) Choose a valid, online printer
    2) Close other programs
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Trash the old Illustrator preferences (Documents and Settings > (your login) > Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings)
    5) When Illustrator freezes, hit "alt" then after hit "enter" then select "Move" from the drop down menu at the top left. Drag a whole bunch without lifting the left click button. Restart Illustrator. Repeat.
