I am running Indesign CS3 on an XP computer. I installed a plugin for barcodes from teacup Software, Barcodemaker for Indesign CS3 win and this has crashed my Indesign CS3.

Everytime I startup I get this Javascript error! Error number: 45 Error string: objects is invalid line: 387 I hit enter and iget the same message line: 428.

The adobe knowledge base has a message <http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402389&sliceId=2>

I can't find the file Pluginconfig.txt on my computer to delte as suggested in this article. Can anyone help with this issue.

I have uninstalled the plugin and I have try to repair/reinstall my copy of Indesigh CS3 version 5.0.4 but it still is not possible to use Indesign.

Has anyone encoutered this problem? Can you tell me where to find this file Pluginconfig.txt.

Try deleting the recovery data.

Peter,

I guess, I am a novice at this. where would I find the recovery data?

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 5.0\Caches\InDesign Recovery

This is a hidden folder, so you'll need to set Explorer to show hidden files if you haven't already. Start by just renaming the folder to _InDesign Recovery and it should rebuild on the next launch if this is going to work. If it doesn't work, you won't have lost anything.

Might work even better if you were to try a system restore, however. Do you have a restore point from before the plugin was installed?

Peter,

That did the trick. Thank you. I didn't know about the hidden files.

That did the trick.

Does that mean you are running again?

Yes, Indesign is working properly and I reinstalled the Barcodemaker plugin and that is working properly also. I wonder what happened the 1st time? Thank you for your help, I now know how to fix this issue if it happens again.

The recovery data is what ID uses to bring you back from the dead in case of a system crash or power failure, and is usually nothing short of miraculous. I think ID always looks there during launch to see if there is something that needs to be recovered. If the data is corrupted, though, you wind up in an ugly loop unable to do much of anything.

That doesn't answer the "why" of what went wrong, but helps to explain why removing the data can sometimes get you going again.
