Illustrator CS4 won't start, even after reïnstalling.

I reïnstalled the whole Suite but Illustrator still won't start. When I try to open Illustrator the orange windows pops up and you see that parts are being loaded but then it shuts down and is gone. I'm on Windows8.

it can't hurt to try downloaded installation files.
again, uninstall and clean before installing.

    Illustrator CS4 won't start.
    Seems to do this every time I have not used it for a while.
    Acrobat 9 has same issue

    We can't know. You have not provided any system info. From incompatibility with operating system updates to otehr tools blocking components to system restore damaging the installation anything is possible.

  • Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling and retrying multiple times.

    Illustrator update won't install, even after uninstalling (using the "Uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS6" app and retrying (using Adobe Application Manager}multiple times. Now I can't open AI CS6 at all.
    The error message I get in Application Manager is:
    "Application could not be found. Restore in case it was trashed/moved to a different volume. Reinstall the application otherwise (U44M1P2B)"
    Help!

    Can you please try installing the Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
    If that doesn't work then the safest course would be to remove all Adobe Creative Software using the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  This should then remove the Adobe Application Manager folder also inside Utilities.  Once the software is completely uninstalled and the Adobe Application Manager is removed then you should be able to reinstall from https://creative.adobe.com/.

    Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • Illustrator CS4 won't start in Win 7

    The scenario:
    - Brand new Win 7 machine; brand new CS4 Web Premium purchase
    - All windows updates and Adobe updates performed
    - All Adobe products start up fine, Illustrator doesn't; it just hangs; I don't even get the splash screens at all to tell me that it is even attempting to load something. The computer freezes; ctrl+alt+del will freeze as well. The only way to get out of it is to power off the computer with the power button
    ** This only happens with Illustrator, all other products/apps work fine***
    Any ideas? Similar situations? Recommendations?
    Thanks,
    Mitch

    Not a bothersome question but I think it is a problem that has been posted elsewhere on the web.
    you can try this as wll.
    Quoted from Mylenium in a similar thread.
    Check +C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings\+. Delete/ Move the folder to some otehr location and have AI re-create all user settings. If that doesn't help, you may have a permissions problem somewhere.
    Might work for you.
    there might be a fix on the Microsoft site I believe a patch.

  • Device won't start, even after charging (WT8-B-102)

    I recently bought a Toshiba WT8-B-102 and i have some problems with it.
    First of all i couldn't install the BIOS update for some reason, but that isn't a huge problem for the tablet works fine
    but now i can't start it anymore. yesterday i had the same problem, left the Tab alone for a while, (on the charger) and after that it didn't start/boot. half an hour later i tried again (after taking it of the charger) and then it started, but today it won't start at all. Even if i charge it for some hours, then try it again, try to start it while being charged, etc. This is not good right?
    I also don't see some led burning or any other sign when i attach it to the charger. Any ideas or help guys?
    Thanks

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

  • Motion 4 won't start - even after reinstall

    Yesterday, I discovered that Motion 4 wouldn't open or save files. The menu just wouldn't open. Save As didn't work either. I tried to delete the prefs files, but the result was that Motion didn't open at all when I tried to launch it. I then reinstalled Motion from the original DVD's, restarted - and the same problem is there: Motion won't open. The spinning wheel goes forever, and there is no indication that Motion is able to launch. - Any suggestions? I have the lates versions of MacOSX 10.6 6 and Motion (FCStudio), I have 12 Gbyte RAM and I am using the iMac 27 inch 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5.

    Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear enough. I used the suggested FCS Remover software (see above) to remove the apps, I then repaired rights, restarted the Mac, installed the complete FCStudio from the DVD's, ran the Software Update, restarted the Mac, tried to start first FCP, then DVDStudioPro, then Compressor - with the same result: none of them would load properly. The spinning wheel turned forever.
    Later created a new user account (with Admin rights) on the Mac, switched to that user and tried to start FCP. The same result: the app won't start.
    I started the apps from within the Applications folder, not from the Doc.
    I was able to talk with a tech guy at Apple Support today, and the only thing he could do was to send me a document with instructions about deleting prefs. I already did that, with no result.
    I guess I need help from an experienced support person to go through my Mac and find the reason behind this sudden and strange behavior.

  • Power Mac G5 won't start even after Repairing Disk and Permissions

    I Repaired the Disk first by booting from the install disk and it did repair 1 item and then tried to reboot into safe mode to repair permissions and it didn't boot. I restarted by booting from the install disk again and repaired permissions and it seemed to repair alot of stuff. But it still won't start up.
    I get stuck at the blue screen with the apple logo above a status bar that never moves.

    Hi Larry,
    Appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

  • Previously running CS4 won't open, even after script clean and reinstall

    I can't get in!....
    Seems like a license issue.
    After trying all (7) of the fixes in kb405970 recommended by Adobe tech support, I was unable to get access to my previously working CS4 Production Suite products. I removed the entire program and ran CS4 Clean Script for Macintosh, then reinstalled Production Suite.
    Now, when I try to get into any of the products, i get a registration screen that accepts my VALID and REGISTERED (from the Adobe Registration site) CS4 Prod Suite serial number, and NOTHING happens. No programs open.I can't get any response from Adobe tech support for the last 10 days. Case has been open since October 18. I'm just diving into asking for help in a forum.
    HELP! Please

    I had this problem yesterday, actually. You can solve it, but you will lose all firefox data you didn't back up. Then again, because you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I assume this isn't an issue.
    Assuming you've installed windows on the C drive:
    Go to C://Users/yourname/AppData
    If you cant find it, go to your display settings (I hope I translated this correct; I use the Dutch version of Windows) and make sure that hidden files and filders are not being... well, hidden. Shocking plottwist, I know.
    If all goes well, you should now see three folders named Local, Localrow and Roaming.
    Now go to Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox and delete everything thats in there. Now you have an empty FireFox folder, which will force Firefox to start up as if it was never installed before.
    Done! :)
    P.S. Now that you have a fresh new install, save yourself a lot of future pain and install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync Xmarks] for your bookmarks and [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager LastPass] for your passwords. These add-ons will keep your data safely on their servers, where it is yours to backup and download anywhere in the world.
    Also, if you have about three milion add-ons and personas/themes and you don't want to hunt hem down again everytime you reïnstall Windows or buy a new system, get [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/febe FEBE] to save a copy of them for you. And if you really want to backup like a pro, install [https://www.dropbox.com/ DropBox] (not an addon) and tell FEBE to store its files there, so you can still retrieve them if your house happens to burn down.
    Xmarks, LastPass and FEBE: the holy trinity of Firefox backups :P

  • Firefox won't start even after disabling all plugins and reinstalling

    Two days ago I updated my graphics card drivers (nvidia geforce) and it had some problems. I went into live chat support and after reinstalling some files it worked. Right after that Firefox wouldn't open, prompting me to restart or close. Hitting restart would take me the same place. It only opened in safe mode, where I deactivated the plugins related to the graphics card, and Firefox started normally.
    Yesterday it didn't start again, even with those plugins deactivated. so I started in safe mode and deactivated all other plugins and it started. Today happened the same again but now I didn't have anything to deactivate so I could never start it. I unistalled and downloaded the installation file again and installed. The problem remained.
    I went to the page Firefox crashes - Troubleshooting and filled in the crash report to mozilla crash reports page with the ID: 6cf4a525-9152-46f9-96f2-7ef282131023
    The problem looks like it has something to do with the file mswsock.dll, but I'm affraid of deleting it.
    Please help me.
    Thank you,
    Pedro

    hello pedro, this crash is caused by the "Media Accelerator" part your nvidia graphics driver. please see if you can selectively disable it in the nvidia control panel or even uninstall it. otherwise please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Mac G5 dual won't start, even after replacing power supply

    I was having an issue with the mac starting, getting the bong and then it would run for a while and then shut down. I tried resetting pram and then replaced the power supply.  It still does the same thing.  Help.

    OK, good news/bad news...
    We found the problem, but Disk Utility & fsck cannot repair it, it's either erase everything on the drive, or try DiskWarrior...
    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

  • 11" MacBook Air won't start even after SMC reset attempt

    I press the power button on my Air and the Apple sound chimes, a dimmed grey-black screen appears and nothing else.  I have combed through the communities and the suggestion was to do a SMC reset. I followed the instructions exactly and nothing changed.  I initially plugged into my Thunderbolt monitor and ultimately plugged into power with the standard MagSafe cord. Neither changed the outcome.  I have had this Air since November 2014.
    One of my questions about the SMC reset was how could the device recognize actions while the computer is powered off?
    Please help me!
    11" MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

    One of the keys you press when resetting SMC is the power button.

  • AE CS4 Won't Start on Multi-Core System

    I use an older version of After Effects (AE CS4).  I recently built a new workstation that is bootable into different choices of multicore (up to 40 cores).
    I can successfully start AE CS4 on the boot configs up to 16 cores.  But above that, AE CS4 won't start.  It won't even show the splash screen (but the AfterFX_32.exe process does appear in Task Manager).
    Just wondering if there is any way to get AE CS4 to run on configs with more than 16 cores?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    No. There is no way because at the time operating systems did not allow to use more cores and thus the underlying system libraries down to the C/C++ code cannot handle it.
