InDesign CS3 crashes upon launch

Same here. Ugh! Buying a freakin' mac.

Deleted all fonts except windows' system fonts, uninstalled, reinstaled but still the same crash in AdobeOwl module.
Can't mess with this any longer. Installed Corel Draw X4 and wonder why I didn't do it earlier.

I have the same problem on my computer with Vista Ultimate, InDesign CS3 5.0.3. It started with crashing an opened file, telling me it was a problem with the file and that I had to shut down the program... now I cant even restore the file when opening it again. It keeps getting worse, now I hardly cant startup ID before it crashes.

I have tried changing default printer, (I have a network printer) to Adobe PDF, changed the printer spool, updated InDesign, removing SING folder.. checked the fonts folder (none there)...

WHATS NEXT? I can't believe all this people have this issue and that Adobe can't fix it!? I remember I sometimes had the crashing issue on ID CS2 too.

I have work to do with my own company and will not survive without a functioning ID! HELP!!

I'd try running system restore, first, if things worked OK sometime in the past. Of course it may not restore any longer since you updated ID.

Oh dear...I did download some free fonts yesterday. I just deleted all of them. Still crashing. Should I uninstall and reinstall InDesign?

Any font manager? Any cheapy fonts?

installed it, no luck. i'm using vista, if that makes a difference in the diagnosis?

Start by downloading and installing the 5.0.3 update.

I am a computer dummy, with the exception of some basic CS3 knowledge, and this keep happening again and again!

Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

I solved it by deleting all fonts listed as being modified on the date the software was installed.
