I solved this problem on InDesign CS3 by moving the file "Media Import Filter.apln", which is in "C:\Arquivos de programas\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Filters", to another folder. This folder can't be into "Filter" folder. This file seems to have something to do with Quicktime. I don't know which features this action could affect so, perhaps, the right solution was re-installing Quicktime or something like that.

Jessica,

It would be very helpful to others if you listed the fonts you removed, if you can. It would maybe give someone else a chance to find the same problem font quickly.

Peter

Yeah I was looking in the InDesignCs3 programs font folder there was nothing in it. I ended up guessing you ment the Windows folder. I went through the font folder there deleted the recent fonts and now it's fixed. Thankyou very much!

Jessica

Yeah I just saw that I ment there were no fonts in the font folder.
I do that all the time. All the other cs3 programs work correctly.

I'm downloading the update again. Being that he updated it to 5.2 and it started crashing I don't think that's the problem but, we shall see. Kenneth, when you reinstall I don't think it has any font files in the folder.It doesn't show any, even in hidden files. I've changed all the diffrent printers to default and it didn't work. Thanks for your (both of you) help tho.

Update: Tried the update file it's now 5.02 but still crashed.

Jessica

Ok I have tried just about everything on here. InDesign was running on this computer before fine. It has Windows xp pro version.
My father said that he updated and InDesign cs3 was failing at startup "Calling late initializers". We have installed and reinstalled. I have tried renaming and or deleting the sing file. I have renamed the adobe defaults file it just creates a new one. I have the printerspooler service at automatic switched through all the printers here. Nothing seems to be working. It says it has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Error signature:
AppName:indesign.exe
AppVer: 5.0.0.458
ModName: adobeowl.dll
ModVer: 1.0.93.0
Offset: 00069cab
Am I missing something?

Thank you all, especially Mark Hagan for this last posting. Indeed, I'd tried everything, but setting the default printer to adobe pdf was what did it. Not only did it solve this "disappearing program" problem for In Design, but solved this same problem I was also having with Illustrator and Device Central! The odd thing is that once opened and closed successfully, I can reset my network printer default as before and the programs still work.

I guess "just" symptoms of inherent fragility in overly complex systems.

I HOPE ADOBE IS PAYING ATTENTION!

Thanks again to the user community.
