On Mac? 'Trash prefs'.
I don't even know what that means (I'm on PC), but it appears to be the standard response from people around here for fucked up Illustrator problems.

disk utility and fix permissions, you should be doing that regularly anyways, then maybe get this puppy:

leopard fix permissions can take a while... especially if you've got a large drive.

sounds like its that corrupt pref issue, but might be worth doubling checking for font problems on startup too. turn off all your user fonts and restart with just the system and app fonts.

ok repairing the permissions didnt work.. ill try the font thing haha.

its an anti piracy measure. illustartor stops working worldwide on 9-25. they talk about it in the last half of Zeitgeist.

hey- try closing down the "appearance pallet" and all pallets that were group with the appearance.
- jnnbugg0
where is that?

Are you opening files across a network?
Do you have duplicates of fonts?

that started happening to me about a year ago... nothing fixed it, and I couldn't complete a reinstall of any sort. I've been using CS1 ever since
