Hi,

Which operating system are you using? Are you sure it is complete blank files with no graphics or items inside it?

Hi

Exactly where do you save your files?

[cid:image001.png@01D67963.AEF60410]

Almost 500-600 GB free in each drives.

Is a printer attached to your computer?

No, No printers are attached to it. But previously it was connected to my office printer and its driver is installed in this system.

There is no image in your post. Please use the forum's web interface to embed your image in your post.

Please change your printer driver to the Windows PDF printer. Illustrator tries to contact the printer when saving and if it doesn't find it, it will behave badly.

Thanks
