Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

Nobody ever solved this

  • After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when i click on the icon.

    After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when I click on the icon. A window gets up: "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" not found in DLL "MSVCR110.dll". Same failure occurs when I start Photoshop CC.
    LR 5.7.1  Starts without Problem.

    Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

  • CS3 Illustrator will not launch...help?

    Hi All:
    CS3 Illustrator will not launch on my MAC 10.4.11 all of the sudden. I created a new user on the same computer and it launches fine. All my main info and updates are on the "main" same computer where as the "new user" computer recognizes the same computer as being basically new. I tried to trash the CS3 prefs and even trashed CS3 in total and reinstalled it to no avail. ANy thoughts. Right now to use CS3 Illustrator I have to switch back and forth on the same computer to use Illustrator. Very frustrating indeed.

    Also reset the Preferences two ways hold the sift option command keys while relaunching Illustrator or for a more thorough reset quit Illustrator and trash the following Users/Username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings trash the settings folder.
    BTW What type manager are you using?

  • Adobe Edge will not download to a computer running XP

    Adobe Edge will not download to a computer running XP in case anyone is wondering.
    I just spent a frustrating hour finding this out the hard way.
    I do wish my cloud home page announced that face in big writing just above the Edge products that I could see from my XP computer.
    I have put this into this forum, as a search on Adobe Edge will not download on Adobe forums during that frustrating hour produced nil results.
    Sigh......

    Must seem like such a natural train of thought to an Adobe employee. But it's not how non-tech people think.
    Unfortunately this post betrays the fact that Adobe does not understand how many of its customers, especially newbies, work in these situations.
    No-one goes to a download link, fails to find it and 'immediately route your thoughts to "may be it's not supported on the OS configuration"'.
    Hiding the download icons (for whatever "valid" technical reasons) simply wastes the user's time and starts a guessing game which creates confusion, frustration and anger.
    The first thought is usually confusion, followed by wild guesses along the lines of:
    Perhaps the website is broken or buggy
    Perhaps my browser is broken or buggy
    Perhaps my computer is broken or buggy
    Perhaps I have done something wrong and must reinstall my software and/or operating system
    All very unnecessary.
    Confused, they then post in the forum.
    Take a look throughout the forums to see this sentiment time and again.
    Add a note to the Cloud homepage for non-geeks who don't think technically.
    It's not that difficult.

  • Firefox will not launch when I click the icon, it worked okay previously

    A week ago firefox began taking a long time to launch sometimes requireing reclicking the icon.
    Now it will not launch at all.
    I get no error messages, nothing happens when I click the icon.
    HELP

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Illustrator will not launch - CS5

    I'm stumped.
    Illustrator v 15.0.2 version 399
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Last opened the application maybe 10 days ago.
    When I try to launch the icon bounces in the dock, no splash screen...after a while I have to "Force Quit" - the application is not responding.
    Rebuilt my permissions, checked for updates, restarted computer.
    Nothing works.
    Anybody got suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Try resetting the preferences of Illustrator:
    Go To Computer/Users/(Username)/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 settings
    You will find a folder named "en_US", MOVE the complete folder to the desktop.
    Try to restart Illustrator.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Adobe Bridge will not launch

    Hello,
    I’d be very grateful if you could help me please.
    I have recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 (from Amazon). I have  installed it, but Bridge has only installed as 32bit, and this 32bit  installation will not run. (Photoshop has installed as 32 and 64bit - I run 64bit on Windows 7.) When I try to launch Bridge my cursor spins for a second or two and then absolutely nothing happens. I have tried updating it from Adobe's site, but it has not made any difference.
    Kind regards,
    Ails123

    I would be suspicious of the disk if Bridge only comes in 32 bit mode.  Call Adobe and see if the serial number is legit.

  • Adobe Illustrator Will Not Startl

    So...I don't know what's going on. Last night I was using Illustrator CS2 just fine and dandy. Took my computer to work with me as I usually do...used it throughout the day like I usually do...then when I got home I proceeded to get open Adobe Illustrator CS2 as I usually do and it shows the start screen where you can see it's loading fonts...and then about when it should be opening the program...it closes with no error messages or anything.
    I created a new user account called "TEST" and followed the same steps and Illustrator CS2 opened just find and dandy. But on my main account it will not load.
    Help, advice and suggestions are more than appreciated as I work in a printing company and use Illustrator frequently (with the exception of today that was spend in Quark all day). Thanks

    You might consider searching or posting your question at . You're much more likely to find some help there with an Adobe product.

  • Adobe Air Applications Not launching. Flash Builder 4.5.1

    I had this issue before where only flash based applications would launch but not adobe air. The issue is when you click run on adobe air, in the task manager on windows 7, 64 bit you get: Adobe Air Debug Launcher. Killing that gives me: If the program is already running, close it before attempting to run.
    The program never launches hence why you have to kill it in the task manager.
    I tried cleaning out the PreloadSWF entry in the mmc.cfg file. This does nothing to help the cause.
    Ideas?

    Please read the OP on the stale pale loader. I already took out the line in mm.cfg and I set vsible to true (never had to before on any air application Oo)
    Tests:
    The setting to visible to true though worked..... (again with never had to set that before)

  • Illustrator will not launch

    Hi,
    Was wondering whether anyone had the same from with AI not launching?

    Yes,
    I have a very new Macbook Pro 17 Retina running OS X 10.9.3.  After purchasing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard for download and installing, InDesign and Photoshop work correctly; however, illustrator would not.  It seems sad that after recently purchasing the software the Adobe installer installed an old version 16.0.0.  Illustrator would not install after the original installation, so I installed the first update 16.0.1 and then attempted to install 16.0.3 which failed.  I then uninstalled AI and reinstalled fro the web and installed 16.0.1, 16.0.3, 16.0.4 and 16.0.5, restarting between each install for good measure.  The resulting program will still not start with no error message provided.

  • I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

    Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
    I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
    I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

  • Plus will not launch when Java 7 installed

    We are encountering this issue when technicians install Java 7 on new PCs. What is the advise from Oracle? Is there another patchset that resolves this issue or do we just have to have users uninstall 7 and go back to 6?
    Thanks,
    Jerre

    Michael,
    Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to open a SR. Oh, bother. What a pain. We first encountered this issue when Java 7 was installed on a PC and it would not fire off Plus. This particular Java was the pre-release version. Since then we have had a couple more reports of the issue but now there is a version for public use. I do not know the specific versions on each workstaiton. There are only three versions as I now look at Oracle's Java page; 1.7.0, 1.7.0.1 and 1.7.0.2. The latter being the current version.
    It is too close to the holiday break to open a SR at this time. The issue is not currently wide spread at this time and the workaround is simple, so I will not take that action at this time. I am a lazy butt, aren't I. I was hoping the the gurus had already done the work for me.
    Thanks,
    Jerre

  • Adobe LR3 will not import image files.  Running on Mac OS 10.6.4

    When I try to import images into LR3 I get the errors show on attached screenshots.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I'm having the same problem and I'm running LR3 on Mac OS 10.6.4 as well.
    I put my SD card into my iMac's SD card slot, and tried to import into LR3, but got an error that all of my new files were not imported because they "...could not be read (17)".  They can be read just fine by GraphicConverter.  I shoot RAW+JPG and LR3 will not import either version (e.g., if I remove the .CR2 files from the SD card, LR3 won't read the .jpgs either).  I also put the SD card into a reader (instead of into the iMac's SD card slot) and that didn't work.
    I copied the RAWs to the Desktop and tried to import from there, but in that case I get a message that the import operations were not performed because "a file could not be copied to the requested location (34)".
    I imported images from this SD card on the 5th, and I haven't formatted it since then.  The only thing that's changed that I know of is the Mac OS update, but I would expect that if that were the problem, I wouldn't be able to read these files anywhere (i.e., GraphicConverter).
    Any suggestions?
    Update:  I've now tried another SD card, and a CF card, and LR3 will not import any of the files on them - I get the same "...could not be read (17)" error.  I have repaired disk permissions, and I've trashed the Lightroom 3 preferences.
    Update #2:  I've deleted and re-installed Lightroom 3, and I still cannot import any new images.  Lightroom 2 imports just fine.  This is becoming infuriating.
    Anyone have any suggestions yet?
