InDesign Constantly Crashes

[chaos_zero@adobeforums.com]

While working in Adobe's InDesign CS, the program will sudden crash. It will crash from the smallest things like making a text box, or drawing a line.

Here is the Crashlog:

Host Name: MAC.local
Date/Time: 2006-10-03 10:37:28 -0400
OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98)
Report Version: 2

Command: InDesign CS
Path: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS/InDesign CS.app/Contents/MacOS/InDesign CS
Version: CS 3.0.1 (3010)
PID: 809
Thread: 0

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVAILD_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xbf7fffe0

The last line of the crashlog-

0x971dd000 - 0x97562fff com.apple.HIToolbox 1.3.7 (???)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/HIToolbox

It is a Mac G4, and InDesign has all available updates.

The last line isn't very helpful. Scan it to find which thread crashed (it will say thread # crashed) and then see what the lines just under that are about. The topmost one in the thread that crashed is what it was trying to do just before the kernel kicked it to the curb.

The exact same thing is happening to me. I crash no mater what i work on in Indesign CS. I am saving so many version of my documents so that I do not lose my files.

The OS is 10.3.9 Panther with all updates.
It's a G4 Mac.
There are no maintenance issues.
I've tried deleting the preferences with no luck.

There is 1GB of RAM, and several gigs of free space.

There are no maintenance issues.




Dumb remark. If you're crashing constantly then you most certainly have maintenance issues. 9 times out of 10 your problems are font related.

What is several gigs? 3? 50? 100? Have you run disk utility? Do you have/use Disk Warrior? Do you turn off your machines each day? Do you have postscript fonts and dfnts with same exact name (Helvetica and Helvetica.dfnt)? Are you using font management? More info please.

Try making sure InDesign uses the permissions for the Everyone group on the system. Read/Write
