1. Re: Adobe Illustrator CS3 For Windows Goes Into "Not Responding" on exit
Jack Cates Jan 19, 2009 6:41 AM (in response to Michael774R)I think it had something to do with Photoshop being open and/or closing at the same time. I've seen this addressed here before and while it was sort of a fix, the cause of it wasn't consistent on my machine.
Doesn't happen often on mine, but when it does, I just use task manager to shut it down then restart and shut down Illy if I have time. -

Bert-Bert Jan 19, 2009 9:33 PM (in response to Michael774R)>Is anyone having trouble with Adobe Illustrator CS3 going into "Not Responding" mode when you try to exit the program after having worked for a long period of time?
It's Illy's way of saying: "...and THIS is the thanks I get for working my tush off for FIVE HOURS!? Men!" -

Michael774R Jan 27, 2009 12:55 PM (in response to Michael774R)Hello,
Unfortunately the problem with Illustrator CS3 going into, "Not Responding" mode upon exit after working for a long time has returned. I am really disappointed. Also, Adobe has notified me that my complementary technical support has expired. Also: Adobe has not released any updates to Illustrator to fix this problem. I paid a lot of money for this software and Adobe is providing very poor customer service.
If anyone discovers a fix to above problem, please reply to this thread!
Thanks,

Michael774R Mar 30, 2009 10:37 AM (in response to Michael774R)Hello Again:
To follow up on my last post.. I had a real bad time with my computer most recently and had to recover it. Since I had a fresh install, I went with service pack 3. I use Windows XP.
I did install Web Developer Premium CS3, but left out Acrobat Professional. I also decided to go with the default mouse driver for Win XP. In Illustrator I turned off the save to clip board upon exit feature.
Now for the longest time, no matter how much I use Illustrator, I am not having any problems on exit. I am not exactly sure why other than I have a fresh install of my OS.
Also: It has been mentioned in other threads that Acrobat was the problem or the mouse driver was the problem or settings in preferences, or even the start up definition file (which I trashed and Illustrator reset it on start.)
So now I am happy to have Illustrator CS3 working well.
Thought I should repost.. thanks,
Michael R. -

nacnudv8 May 14, 2009 8:27 AM (in response to Michael774R)Michael, I have the same issue as you. Seems to be after working at length with large files.
I guess its something to do with the memory being tied up by Ilustrator.
I dont have a fix yet

nacnudv8 May 14, 2009 9:54 AM (in response to nacnudv8)Just an update -
I went into preferrences and disabled the make PDF of clip board contents.
Now it closes down OK.
