Jeff
I sympathize coz I've had that problem too on occasion.

Invariably, it happened when using "styles... >> effects..." on large things like signs. Is that right? If not the rest may not help you...


Here's what I would do.

1 - Defragment (you can defragment can't you? ... 11GB isn't much room to turn-around in...)


2 - Delete the effect (if that's involved). Resize the object you're applying the effect to, at 20%. Apply the effect again. Resize by 500%. Then hope for the best.


3 - If still no good, do the effect in Photoshop and place in the composition.

4 - Upgrade to AI 10 or CS. AI9 was real SLOW.

Having said that, I've always wondered about AI effects. There's something in there that's out of whack. They are so slow and they get slower the bigger they are. I'd like to see them updated to match Photoshop's effects. That would be a real benefit.


good luck -- Mike

Jeff,

Make sure that Illustrator is using it's own plugins folder, and that you have not pointed Illustrator to use Photoshop's Plugins - the Photoshop plugins had to be re-written to allow live effects and attempting to use Photoshop's own plugins will cause that error message.

Hi,
Check language setting (WinXP) in "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advanced > ... language version of non-unicode programs...". Setting to "English (US) (Than must restart) seems to solve the problem. It really works!!!

Try trashing your AI Prefs file. It worked for me.
