You are welcome, archgg.

What happens if you try with nothing else open (other applications, internet connexion, whatever)?

Illustrator CS5 is a 32 bit application. So insufficient memory could well be the cause.

archigg,

What happens if you create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any, of the) file?

I believe there may be file corruption, or something else hindering things.

Hi

thank you so much for your reply.

I should have mentioned that the file opens in other computers at work,

meaning this is only a problem with mine.
