My Illy CS3 is acting weird. The biggest problem right now is that I can't save in .ai format. It will save in .eps, tho. But other weird stuff is happening and I'm afraid it might get serious.
Today, I was working on a simple layout. I was trying to open a clipart from our CD collection that we've had for-EVER. All of a sudden, it said it couldn't open the clipart because it was an unknown format. I had just opened one! It was just a simple vector in .wmf format. Then I tried placing it in my file and the same thing happened. So I shut down Illy and reopened. When I reopened, that square that pops up at the beginning about if you want to open a recent document, or start a new document came up and I have it set NOT to come up. So I hit new, blank document. Then I noticed that all my palettes on the right were in different places, like a default setting. I'm also noticing that when I export files as .jpgs to send out as proofs, they're alot smaller than normal and the quality it low. My export settings are the same as always.
I googled the problem and found similar issues but none exactly like mine. So no luck there.
I've rebooted the computer, checked for updates (MS and Illy) and scanned for viruses. Anyone ever heard of something like this?
I think my next step is to uninstall and reinstall Illy. I was hoping not to have to do that, tho.
