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 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?

Adobe Illustrator will not install

When I try to install it, I keep getting a message prompting me to download adobe download manger. I do not know were to get that I thought I already had it since I have other adobe products. i'm using firefox

I just did a quick test myself and this works without problems, when I try to download the trial for the Windows version. It downloads the extractor, then the 7z file for Windows and I have no problem downloading the Mac version, either. If you are referring to the ESD download center, that may be different, but it always worked in the past. Anyway, you can just as well download the trial in that case. With avalid serial, it will be a fully functional Illu, off hand I'm just not sure whether it misses out on some of the demo content...

An unknown error has occurred (-108). Adobe illustrator will now quit.

HEllo
I have an Adobe CS3 Web Premium. After installing and running the illustrator cs3 this error occurred:
An unknown error has occurred (-108). Adobe illustrator will now quit.
My friend has this problem too. I'd appreciate if you can tell me what is the reason for this problem and how can I correct it and how can I prevent it in the future. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely
Meissam Rasouli

Meissam, you are welcome.
Some of the issues are caused by corrupted files.
The usual suspect is the aiprefs file, which held almost all preferences up to 10; since CS(1), some preferences have been moved to other files in the same folder, so in many cases the advice is to move the folder to the Desktop (deleting does not always work).
In other cases, corrupted fonts are the issue. It has been noted in some cases that the -108 has occurred during loading of font, but moving fonts out of the Fonts folder has not helped.
Is the name TypeSupport, in one word?
I believe the files will be rebuilt with the default values as is the case with the aiprefs and other key files. I believe you will find that it has a new content after your starting Illy.
And it should not affect other applications. It may be used for more Adobe applications without causing trouble, but Illy is known to be more particular than most when it comes to fonts; probably because fonts are both text and curves/art, which is why we call it Type.

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 Illustrator does not download. The web page says "Illustrator is downloading now..." but it doesn't finish downloading.

Hi simplejva,
In your downloads you will find CreativeCloudSet-Up file . Install it on your computer.
You will be prompted to sign in into Creative Cloud.
Just refer this article for installing Illustrator from Creative Cloud :

Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked. It works on one computer but not the other-both working on the same system/ version of adobe cc.
How can I fix this bug?

Check to see what is different between setups. You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.

Adobe Reader will not open PDF in browser simple answer.

I just had this problem and was able to work through it with the help of tech support from TD Ameritrade. The fix is simple so read on. After uninstalling and reinstalling all things adobe and trying other recommendations on these forums I was stumped. I called my broker tech section since I couldn't open their reports and we identified what my specific problem was. For me, and I imagine some of you this will help and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Nothing was wrong with my Adobe Reader. My problem was that I have a 64 bit operating system and both of my default browsers were 64 bit browsers. I did not know my internet explorer default browser was the 64 bit one until the technician that assisted me informed me that a recent windows update made all 64 bit systems default to 64 bit internet explorer browsers. You cannot change that default by choosing between 64 bit and 32 bit, because you can only choose internet explorer. That explains why my attempts to open with a 32 bit browsers always failed. I also tried with Firefox thinking it was 32 bit and it failed as well. The technician informed me Firefox is a 64 bit browser and then it made sense. I guess the recent Adobe reader update caused a change that no longer allowed my 64 bit system and 64 bit browser to open PDF's through the browser. The technician who assisted me has a 64 bit system and only uses 64 bit browsers and can still open PDF's through those browsers. That confused us for a while until we realized he had his Adobe updater turned off and therefore had not been exposed yet to the update that originated my problems.
****ANSWER FOR MY PROBLEM*******The quick answer is use Google Chrome or some other 32 bit browser. If you set a 32 bit browser as your default, the PDF's will open. You cannot set Internet Explorer 32 bit browser as your default if you have a 64 bit system and also have 64 bit Internet Explorer. The windows update prevents you from doing it. At least that is my understanding.
The bottom line is I have the newest Adobe Reader on a 64 bit system and can open any web PDF with Google Chrome set as my default browser, because it is a 32 bit browser. The new Adobe Reader will not open PDF's with a 64 bit browser in Vista. A 64 bit system is fine as long as you use the 32 bit browser to open your PDF's in Vista. I hope this helps some avoid some headaches. I wish it had been posted when my problem first arose.
I think you can use a 64 bit browser in Windows 9 or later, but for Vista the above applies.

Yes I can create a short cut to internet exp. 32 bit on my desktop and I can even be using Internet expl. 32 bit, but when I try to open a PDF with adobe reader it won't work with internet exp. as my default browser b/c windows will always choose Internet exp. 64 bit which isn't supported yet by adobe reader. With google chrome as my default browser windows can't choose an unsupported 64 bit browser in its place b/c google chrome doesn't have a 64 bit version.
My post was for those people who may not have realized yet that windows would not ever choose Internet expl. 32 bit over Internet expl. 64 bit if both exist on their system. For them it is easiest to just choose a default browser that only has a 32 bit version.
If I understood your reply correctly, you were telling me how to create a shortcut to Internet exp. 32 bit on my desk top. However, having that shortcut on my desk top and opening my browser through it will not prevent the problem of windows choosing my Internet exp. 64 bit browser for pdf's I try to open from the web. Thank you for your response, but I think the problem that I have tried to explain does exist for many users and can only be fixed by using a 32 bit browser that is not Internet explorer as your default browser. At some point if windows fixes the update that always chooses Internet expl. 64 bit over Internet expl. 32 bit, then this will all be irrelevant.
Thanks

Adobe reader will not open pdf files I have saved as, or, export as pdf to my desktop (latest Maverick). The same file does open when I am on the source website (i.e. user manuals etc.). Why?

Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader installed for your OS.

Did you try using Preview. If you control click on the PDF on your desktop you can use the "open with" option.

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite

Adobe Reader will not open embedded PDFs in Safari with Yosemite installed

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.

Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro [was: pro]

Adobe CS4 will not install on new macbook pro. It is coming from my other macbook.

Install normally means running setup from the orginal discs or the downloadable trial version. If you are copying from a backup or another computer, that won't work.
Best advice is to download the CS4 trial, and have your serial number ready in order to convert the trial into a licensed version.
Get the trial here. Follow the instructions carefully or the download link won't work.

Adobe 11 will not read my files.

I have downloaded Adobe 11 several times, with and without the anti-virus set, and though it recognises my files Microsoft reports it had 'encountered a problem and is closing it down' when I try to open them. When I restore the system to Adobe 9 it opens my old files but, obviously, not those in '11' format. Any ideas?

Well, it's like this. Someone sends me some printed information. A bill.
A report , It downloads. I try to open it and it tells me I need Adobe
Reader 11 to do so and gives me a link. . I download from the link. It
takes an age but in the end it tells me I have successfully downloaded Adobe
Reader 11. When I try to open the file Microsoft tells me they have
encountered a problem and are closing it down. When I try to open any of my
saved Adobe Reader files I then get the same message. I have to use System
Restore to get the facility of Adobe Reader 9 back. Then it opens my saved
files again.

Is it actually a PDF file or something else.
You haven't given us enough information to do anything other than throw random guesses your way.
Version of Reader? File type? Downloaded and saved to your desktop or are you clicking a link?
Opening in browser or using File>Open in Reader?
More info is better.
