I hadn't experienced any trouble at home with InDesign CS3 before, but at work I've been fighting it ever since I upgraded the platform to OSX Tiger. It seems that there is an issue with the way Adobe updates Adobe VersionCue (or rather, doesn't update VersionCue... ahem.). Never mind the fact that VersionCue is essentially useless in a single-designer environment (not sure about VersionCue's purpose? Click here.), Adobe saw fit to integrate it into the very core functions of 'save' and 'save as' file commands. What does this mean for someone with a corrupted version of VersionCue? Saving doesn't work... oh but it doesn't just not save, it crashes the entire program. Yikes.
Thanks to a blog posting by Joe Maller I was able to remedy the problem- thanks Joe! Now I really should cut Adobe some slack, in all my years of using their products, never have I once encountered a bug like this. However, I thought I should bring some attention to Joe Maller's blog post since it was one of the only places on the web that I can find a viable solution to the problem. Hope that helped for those of you who reached this post by desperately crawling Google in hopes of finding an answer.

That's weird, I would have never thought that Version Cue really made that big of a difference. We've been having little problems ever since we switched to CS3, I honestly can't close Illustrator anymore, I can only force quit it. And now Photoshop isn't reading any PNG files because it can't "parse" them. I think it's time for a reinstall.
Whoa... that's really odd- I haven't heard of PNG's not parsing like that before. Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? I'd love to do some investigating into this so that I can know the solution as well for my own peace of mind.
Also, you can't force quit illustrator? Does that mean you are running MAC at work now? If so, congrats! If not... well then... I'm sorry. ;)
