Please help - AC 9 crashes when printing

Anonymous
Not applicable
I installed to Windows XP Professional several days ago and a very strange problem appeared - AC crashes and the Bug Reporter appears when I try to print directly form AC. The same happens both when I try to print to printer and to PDF.

Before that I've used Windows 2000 Pro without any Service packs.
The XP is without Service packs either.
The AC 9 installation is the same, I tried it both with patch and without patch.

Please help because it is a matter of ungency!

Yes I have tried a handfull of existing projects with no luck. But.... Now that I have published to printer, I just tried to "print" and now it prints to "printer" and "PDF" with no crashes. Now I'm happy . Strange though. But I'm glad that Kliment brought up this topic. And thanks guys for the help. Now hopefully it works for Kliment.

Here is the screen shot. Now I'm having the same trouble. If I publish 1st, at least one page, either printer of pdf, I can than "print" with no trouble. But if I close the file and reopen it, it crashes if I try to "print".

So frustrating.

Thanks for the help,
Jim

I am sorry for the disturbance I caused with my post!

The problem was in my computer!

It was the application I used for Cyrrilization of Windows. It crashed all the applications trying to print.

Thank you for the swift replies, anyway!

JMM4JMC,

on your Page Setup...where it says "Where"....see if that matches up with your port in your printer properties....for example mine is an ip address...I guess what I am saying... they should match......
