Is anyone having trouble with Adobe Illustrator CS3 going into "Not Responding" mode when you try to exit the program after having worked for a long period of time?
I think I have the answer, and as it has worked for me, I am posting it here hoping to help some one else.
Disable the welcome screen.
Under Preferences - File Handling & Clipboard - uncheck both options under Clipboard On Quit.
Many thanks to Nate Biehl for posting this idea in another thread first!
I am curious to hear if anyone else has this problem and if this post has fixed it?
Thanks,

Doesn't happen often on mine, but when it does, I just use task manager to shut it down then restart and shut down Illy if I have time.

It's Illy's way of saying: "...and THIS is the thanks I get for working my tush off for FIVE HOURS!? Men!"
Unfortunately the problem with Illustrator CS3 going into, "Not Responding" mode upon exit after working for a long time has returned. I am really disappointed. Also, Adobe has notified me that my complementary technical support has expired. Also: Adobe has not released any updates to Illustrator to fix this problem. I paid a lot of money for this software and Adobe is providing very poor customer service.
If anyone discovers a fix to above problem, please reply to this thread!

To follow up on my last post.. I had a real bad time with my computer most recently and had to recover it. Since I had a fresh install, I went with service pack 3. I use Windows XP.
I did install Web Developer Premium CS3, but left out Acrobat Professional. I also decided to go with the default mouse driver for Win XP. In Illustrator I turned off the save to clip board upon exit feature.
Now for the longest time, no matter how much I use Illustrator, I am not having any problems on exit. I am not exactly sure why other than I have a fresh install of my OS.
Also: It has been mentioned in other threads that Acrobat was the problem or the mouse driver was the problem or settings in preferences, or even the start up definition file (which I trashed and Illustrator reset it on start.)
So now I am happy to have Illustrator CS3 working well.
Thought I should repost.. thanks,
