I ran into an inter­est­ing error this morn­ing when I tried to open an Illus­tra­tor file from home to work.  When I opened it up, I got this error:

If that hap­pens, use Task Man­ager to “End Task” for Illus­tra­tor – then hit the “Can­cel” but­ton on the error popup.  Did 2 min­utes of google, this arti­cle came up.  Even though it was for Flex, it seems to apply here.  What hap­pened is that I have the same file name image linked to the file, but with dif­fer­ent exten­sions.  One was in PNG, the other one was in JPG.  The one on linked to the file was PNG, but I have a JPG in the exact same folder where the PNG should be with the same name.  Boy, Illus­tra­tor started kick­ing and scream­ing just because of this.  As soon as I cre­ated a new image with the same file name but with the PNG exten­sion, it stopped.
