Adobe Illustrator crashes when saving file

June 30th, 2009 in Other Jump to comments
I tried to copy a vector from Illustrator to Photoshop and use it as smart object. At that moment Illustrator crashed. I did this over and over again, same result. Then I tried to save it, so I could place it in Photoshop, Illustrator crashed again. I thought Windows 7 could be the fault, then maybe the file is corrupted or Illustrator got damaged.

Actually there was no problem with the OS, the file or Illustrator. It turns out that Illustrator needs the Print Spooler service to be running, at least my CS3. I started to go crazy not knowing how to fix this problem. These little annoying problems can make you go crazy.
