Error loading plugins brs pencil tool | cc | Illustrator 2014

Hello there,
I use Illustrator cc 2014, and recently when I open the application, there will be a pop up with "error loading plugins brs pencil tool". I click continue, and the pencil tool is completely missing from my tool bar. I wanted to know what would be the best way to fix this? I have tried updating the software and it says "failed to update, error u44m1p7". I don't want to mess around with any of the plugins manually as I know there has to be a certain way they are placed and installed, and I'm not sure what the right way is. If someone has had to remove and add a plugin before and knows how that info would be helpful.
Thanks for any help,
-Laura

Laura,
You may consider a reinstallation using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

CRASHES AT START UP -MISSING REQUIRED PLUGIN - BRS PENCIL TOOL

Can someone please help with this? I dont know what I did, but the BRS Pencil Tool plug in is missing from the illustrator filters in the plug in folder, and now I cant get illustrator to start. Illustrator goes through the start up process and at the end I get an error message saying "Missing required plug ins" "BRS pencil tool" and then Illustrator crashes. After that the "Crash Report" pops up. I've done a search for the missing file on my computer and nothing comes up. If I uninstall and reinstall will that fix the problem? And if I do reinstall will my previous CS2 work be safe? I tried to call Adobe, but since I don't have the serial number they refuse to help. Thanks Adobe!

If you are getting a message about the BRS pencil tool and you are using Windows Vista or XP, you may be missing an important font. For Vista users you are missing the Segoe-UI font. For XP users you are missing the Tahoma font. These fonts need to be installed on your system in order for Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop and InDesign to launch. Most of the other applications will give you a generic "application has stopped working" error when trying to launch.
Also, another clue is located inside the Event Viewer. For vista users, click on your start button and in the search area type "event", the event viewer will show in the results area, click on it and then click on "windows logs", then click on "application". For XP users, click Start, then Run and type "eventvwr" and hit enter, then click on "Application". By double-clicking on an error you will see the description for the problem. If the faulting module shows AdobeOwl.dll, you are most likely missing the font. You can do a google search for the font and they are available for download.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

Hi!
We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
Would anyone know how I can access it?
Jana

Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

Illustrator cs3 headache! Error loading plugins. ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip

I have searched everywhere on both the net and the adobe website and there is no solution for this problem. I have tried all suggestions, aside from reformatting my hard drive and loading everything from scratch. I have Adobe CS3 Master Collection which we paid quite a bit for and I find these errors and mistakes outrageous. I have a Zune and I still hve to disable the launch using the Vista Task Manager in order to get PDF files to save using any progrm within the suite.
All of a sudden one day, I started getting the following error: Error loading plugins. ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip
I have tried using the CS3 Script clean up tool, even at level 2. I have gone through and got rid of any vestiges of folders or files that have to do with Adobe CS3 Master Collection. Nothing works. The only thing that did work that I refuse to do is to make another User Account and use that account just for Illustrator so I have to switch users back and forth to send e-mails and such.
What is the fix for this? Is Adobe paying attention?
Any words of wisdom? I have read that even after paying the $39.95 for help from Adobe, they still dont have a solution. Is t his a ploy to make some money off of fees during this economy?

Okay all, here is what I have tried; re-installed printer drivers,nothing, then:
I went to C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Illustrator CS3 Settings on Win Vista.
Found the following folders: Brushes, Composite Fonts, Graphics Styles, Kinsoku, MojiKumi, New Document Profiles, Plug-ins, Swatches, Symbols, Workspaces. All folders were empty except for the New Document Profiles which had the following: Basic CMYK, Basic RGB, Mobile and Devices,
Print, Video and Film and Web, as I said these are document files which I deleted before this re-installation and nothing. Same error as above.
The three files listed in the Illustrator CS3 Settings folders are: AI Color Settings, AIMenuFaceCache and IllustratorFnt.lst. I deleted all three, IllustratorFnt.lst rebuilds immediately when I Open Illustrator CS3, however, the other two dont seems to rebuild until I receive the Microsoft Windows alert: a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the rpgoram and notify you if a solution is available. You'd think with the many times that this program has shut down automatically, someone would have a solution by now!
There is no AdobeFnt.lst file as specified by Mylenium.
corrupt preference folder, the whole users preference folder: I do not see an AI.Preferences folder in this area neither, and when I reopen Illustrator there is still no Preferences folder. Dont know how to get to the whole users preferences folder. I have a done Search for Preferences*.* and I only get entries for ACT! 2008 CMR which we have installed here.
corrupt Illustrator Settings folder located somewhere in the Documents and Settings No, this does not seem to do anything, If I delete the entire contents under Illustrator CS3 Settings.
a corrupt or conflicting plug in from a thrid party which is what it sounds like. Nothing in the plug-ins (Illustrator CS3 folder) and I haven't downloaded a third party. I do see the plugins that this mentioned in this error: ColorHarmony.aip DxfDwg.aip FHImprot.ap PNGFileFormat.aip TracingSuite.aip TrcingUI.aip in the following C: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Plugsin\Extensions, but the system will NOT let me remove them.
a corrupt font(s) or font data base(s) or both. Removed all possible fonts that the system would let me, and still nothing.
a corrupt color or monitor profile (this once happened to me) Do not use Custom monitor nor color profies.
a conflicting haxie running a PC
an update to something on your user account Hmmm all I have done are the recommended updates to Vista
conflicting software on the mac it is usually entourage or Quicken but they usually interfere with the keyboard shortcuts. On a PC.
and on the pc world of course a virus that is affecting your user account because it has only found your password on that accounts and which you obtained via browser or e-mail. Ran a full system virus scan and nothing.
The last and very unpopular amongst the pc world is a permissions problem in the pc world they always find a work around thuis issue rather than face the fact and why Adobe may have given up at this point. Turned off the UAC account, but your right, when I tried to delete the mentioned plugins in the errror, it said i didnt have the permissions.
There can be other reasons. The reason Adobe could not find it is the problem on the pc is often denial that this is user induced it also a problem but to less a degree on the Mac.
Maintaining your system is important. I do regular scans and things.
For instance have you set your scratch to a hard drive hat has a lot of free space do you have scratch other than your start up disk? Have a huge hard disk and 4 gb of DDR3 ram.
How much RAM do you have these are less likely to be the problem since the new user account works.
If you want to get his running again try a few things and tell us what did not work and perhaps we can help with nrrowing it down.
PLEASE HELP YOU GUYS, THIS IS VERY BIZARRE, WHY WOULD ONE SEPARATE USER ACCOUNT WORK AND THE OTHER NOT. THEY BOTH PULL OFF OF THE SAME PROGRAM FILE FOLDER RIGHT?

Error message when starting Adobe Illustrator CC [Error loading plugins AppBarControls.aip]

Hello,
I get the following error message when I start Adobe Illustrator CC.
Error loading plugins
AppBarControls.aip
Then it gives me the option to continue by clicking okay. When it opens, the Application Bar is just blank.
I've tried uninstalling, then ran Adobe CC Cleaner, then downloaded and reinstalled.
Computer details : OS X 10.9.5, 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Help is kindly appreciated!

I also have had a difficult time with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashing upon launch. The support staff was great even though we had to work through several sessions. Below is the email explaining our final session.
This email is in regards with the issue you had been facing with Illustrator CC 2014.
While going through the installer logs, we found that there was an issue with the installation & the program installer had been denied access to several critical files & folders during installation.
This was the main reason for Illustrator crash as several critical components had not been installed properly.
We tried installing the program in a new user account & that worked.
Though the program has been installed properly now & is working in your old account, I will still strongly recommend you to get your computer user account repaired with a Windows 7 operating system diskette.
This is required so that you do not run into more trouble later while working with the Adobe Applications or even while installing other programs.
Avanish Divya was the final support person that successfully resolved my problems.

Illustrator CS4 error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip"

I am working on a Mac 10.10 Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CS4 however every time I try to open Illustrator it brings up error notification: "Error Loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip". I can't click on the OK button and the only thing I can do is force quit the application. How do I solve this problem so I can work on my files again?

I have found the solution in another forum that finally seems to have worked!
The last comment I haven't yet experienced as I quit photoshop and was still able to open illustrator without problems and without the help of photoshop afterwards.
But happy for now that this works.
OK, had the same issue, found a work around, not a fix.
1     Force quit Illustrator.
2     Start Photoshop CS4
3     Start Illustrator CS4
4     when you get the alert popup, with Photoshop now open, it allows me to click on "don't show again", and click "OK"
5     quit Photoshop
Now Illustrator should continue to work so long as it is open.
Illustrator will continue to freeze on start unless you 1st open Photoshop.

Illustrator CS3 Crashes after "Error Loading Plugins"

so confused.
Upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 64bit Enterprise.
Installed my CS3, and Illustrator crashes after "Error Loading Plugins".
I moved the .aip files in question from the folder to my desktop, then put them back, but 3 are still there. The other 3 resolved.
Took the 3 in question back out, then back in. no change
Left the 3 out. No "Error Loading Plugins" but still crashes with a "stopped working" non descript message.
I have been trying to search all over the net for six hours to no avail. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

with Enterprise edition you should be able to download from Microsoft a winXP32 bit virtual OS and run CS3 Ai in that mode.

Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message: "Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip.

Every time I start Illustrator CS6 I get an error message:
"Error loading plugin AIHostAdapter.aip. I have tried reloading the program, updating, everything. I've checked the forums but no one seems to have a solution

I am not sure. Here is a screenshot. Many people are having this problem. I am wondering what it is and what it does exactly and can't seem to find an answer to that question.
I deleted Illustrator CS6 yesterday and reloaded the program. I am on a Mac, Maverick 10.9. The strange thing is the dates. All plugins [in the file] correspond with the Illy CS6 reload except that particular Plugin?
Can I delete the file or is it a necessary plugin?

ILL CS 5.5 Error Loading Plugins

Last week my iMac crashed (original RAM corrupted, got new RAM and hard disk from Apple Service Center, and they were able to clone the drive and reload all the data back on the new hard drive. I am working on an iMac 2011 bought in 2012, running OSX 10.7.1 and the computer came PRELOADED with Adobe Creative Suite software.
When I got it back to my office, it all looks just as it did. BUT, when I open Illustrator CS 5.5, I keep getting "Error Loading Plugins:
AirBrush Tool, CalligBrush Tool, Color Harmony, Doc Info, Eraser Tool, Paint Style Panel, Reshape Tool, ScatterBrush Tool, Swatch Libraries, and Transparency Panel."
Are some original AI plugins? Note: If I hit OK, I get a message saying "Some plugins were updated (they were not updated, the disk was cloned and re-imaged), It tells me to re-launch Illustrator for changes to take effect, but when I relaunch AI, it gives me the same "Error Loading Plugins" message - just keep getting same error LOOP. It lets me work in Illustrator, my colors panels are GONE, Swatches are GONE, no longer have the transparency panel. These are major panels needed for using Illustrator!. I have found some of the .alp files in the Tools folder (plugins), but some I can't even find, like any of the panels... HELP!!! Any ideas?

From whom was it purchased? Did you register the Creative Suite with Adobe?

Error loading plugins. AISaveForWeb.aip

The problem with my computer set to Adobe Illustrator CS5.
20/10/1910 after injection of regular updates adobovskih Illustrator crash when started
starts at the registration window. Since I still trial version, then all these
days to choose it and the program loaded and worked fine. After it was decided
reinstall the trial version, downloaded from the official. site, today it
delivered. Now the program opens, but when you open a message is
Error loading plugins. AISaveForWeb.aip DxfDwg.aip PNGFileFormat.aip
and takes off after the first save (Ctrl S).
Sorry for my English

First Quit Illustrator CS 5
then
C:\Users\Max\AppData\roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings trash the whole folder
then you have to find the Adobe Illustrator plist files I do not know where they are located on the Windows platform
or if they are called something different or even exist.
If that does not work and you cannot find the plist or equivalent then use the uninstaller and remove Illustrator trash the settings folder
clear out any cache files associated with CS 5, the cache files are usually located in a directory called Application support in a folder called Cache.
Also any folders associated with Illustrator CS 5 in the Application Support folder called Adobe.
Sorry I do not know where these folders are or if they are called the same thing on the windows platform.
And of course it is nowhere to be found on the web.
If you cannot find these files just trash the stuff you can after uninstalling and dumping the settings folder.
Yu can also do a search for Adobe Illustrator CS 5 on your computer after the uninstall there should be nothing related to Adobe Illustrator CS 5 left on the computer. I would also before doing any of this deactivate Illustrator CS 5.
The restart your computer.
BTW have you updated AI CS 5 and or Windows by any chance?

Error Loading Plugins - CS2

My Illustrator won't completely load. After about 30 seconds the computer freezes. I have a pc with vista. I believe illustrator worked two years ago when I got this computer. Installed it right after I got it. I think it worked after I got this computer. Error message is:
Error Loading Plugins
ScriptingSupport(2).aip
ScriptingSupport(3).aip
Help!

Those two files are suspect.
In my AI 12 (CS2) installation, there is only one scripting support plug-in file: ScriptingSupport.aip. It is located in the [program installation folder]\Plug-ins\Extensions folder.
If those two files (ScriptingSupport(2).aip and ScriptingSupport(3).aip) are in the same folder, I would just pull them off to your desktop. If, then, Illustrator starts up OK, and everything checks out, you can trash them.
The question, of course, would be how they got there in the first place. Numbered files like that usually indicate multiple attemps to create them -- perhaps from multiple abortive re-installation attempts.
There might be other issues (e.g. permissions-related). See these other previous discussions (although, unfortunately many of the contained links no longer work in these horrible new forums):

Error Loading Plugins Control Panel.aip

I tried to open Illustrator for the first time on my new computer. It seems like it's going to open, then I get an error message:
Error Loading Plugins
Control Panel.aip
I have reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated window, updated adobe, restarted inbetween, etc.
I have Designer CS3 on a toshiba satellite p205d-s8804 running Vista 2gig memory AMD Turion 64x2 2GZ x86 ATI Radeon X1200 2G RAM 139G free HD space.
It seems numerous people are having this problem across the web but no one has posed an answer on how to fix it. It is insinuated that it is a registry problem.
Can and Adobe person post the solution.
PLEASE HELP

Bill, thank you very much for posting the solution to the "Error Loading Plug-ins. Control Panel.aip" problem.
I was able to find your solution here on the forum with only a minimal amount of searching, and it worked perfectly.
FWIW, I found two duplicate files in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS3\Support Files\Required folder - one called ADMEveParser and another one called ADMPlugin. Both of them had a 1 in parentheses after the file name.
Again - many thanks for your thoughtfulness.
