Thank you!

Did you try trashing (resetting) your preferences?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your help. Yes, I've tried trashing my preferences. After further investigation, I think it may have to do with too many instances of CEP Html Engine running concurrently (according to my Task Manager). I experience the error message with other applications such as Illustrator, too. Is there a way to disable CEP Html Engine?
