Issue resolved! Apparently the crashing was caused because adobe doesnt play nice with other programs on an Intel chip. However you can go in and manually override it. Did so. Problem gone. Thanks for al your help! Stu29573

Hi Stu,
Excellent news and thank you for posting a conclusion. I have one favour to ask of you which I think will help any other editor faced with a similar problem. Please could you write up your actions for a beginner to understand? Listed in numerical order and include everything please. The aim is to have the data so anyone of us can follow it, newbie to senior (I almost wrote oldie!!!). I'll bookmark your post for newbies to refer to.

well done and thanks again.

Here are the steps to override the initializing libguide issue caused by Adobe not correctly sharing the Intel Multi-Processor with other applications. This manual override will allow proper sharing.

1. Go to Start and select Control Panel.

2. Click System Maintenance, click System, and then click Advanced Settings in the left-hand panel.

3. Click Environmental Variables at the bottom of the dialog box.

4. In the User Variables section, click New.

5. Enter the variable name KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK (type this exactly!)

6. Enter the variable value TRUE and click OK

7. In the System Variables section, click New.

8. Enter the variable name KMP_DUPLICATE_LIB_OK (again, type it exactly)

9. Enter the variable value TRUE and click OK.

10. Click OK to close Environmental Variables and then click OK to close System Properties. Stu29573
