  • Missing plug-ins,  BRS Pencil Tool  ExpandS

    When I launch Illustrator after instalation, I get this message "missing plug-ins, BRS Pencil Tool ExpandS". I searched about it and found these http://forums.adobe.com/message/3079536?tstart=0, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html#products, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html, but nothing helped. I tried the solutions offered at these threads, but in vain. Does anybody have an idea about this? Thanx a lot.

    This happens in Windows XP. In Windows 7 (I tried it) installs with no problem.

    When I open Illustrator, I get the error below, then the program closes.
    I tried reinstalling with the cleaner and deleting the Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings folder. Neither worked.
    Thank you!

  • Adobe AE CS5.5 will not launch on Mac

    I just purchased the student edition of After Effects CS5.5 after having used the trial version with no problem.  After install, it wouldn't launch--no greeting screen.  Restarted, and tried to launch and got blue screen with total hang up of machine.  Hard restarted and still won't launch. Bounces once in the dock and then holds still.
    Here are the specs of my Mac:
    OS X version 10.6.8
    Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Please help ASAP.
    Thanks!

    I recommend contacting Adobe Technical Support:

Trying to open a new or existing InDesign filr results in the spinning beach ball of death that can only be exited by a force quit; InDesign not responding. Anyone else experience similar? Any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    My AI program (CS5 Illustrator 15.1.0) will not open some PDFs. It was working just yesterday, but now will only open a PDF if the graphics of the PDF is visible in the box that appears in the lower left corner of the dialog box after you click Open. The file size does not seem to matter. Any ideas?

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.
    Hope to hear from you.

    CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

  • CS5.5 will not open...

    So I just re-installed CS5.5 on my computers, (clean install, I used Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove any previous versions) and every other Adobe application opens except for Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Flash Builder and Adobe Flash Catalyst.
    I went into AppData and checked for fontinfo.txt, but because Flash never ran; it isn't there.
    I also tried waiting for Flash to open, but whenever I wait, it closes itself.
    ** EDIT **
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Intel Pentium CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz

    Anyone else having a problem with this?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm sorry, this is not an answer but another person with the same issue.
    My Flash CS3 works fine, I have installed the trial Flash CC and it runs fine, but my Flash CS5.5 will not open either.  I have tried similar things you have, all of my other CS5.5 programs open and after a lengthy Norton check it has not found a virus.
    If anyone has found a resolution it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC will not launch

    My Adobe Illustrator CC simply will not launch. It only opens a dialog that says, "Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 quit unexpectedly." There is a button that says "Reopen", but when I click there, it only opens the same dialog page. I have filled out the problem, which is suppose to notify the problem to Apple but so far so results have come to me with what might be wrong.
    Can anyone, please help me to get Illustrator up and running again. Thanks

    Cathy,
    I am afraid that Adobe will be closed down for the holiday be the end of the day, so I believ you had better act today.

  • 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

  • Photoshop CS5 will not launch

    Photoshop CS5 will not launch either from the desktop or program list. The only way to launch is to log out and restart the computer. At the end of each session I reset the preferences in the Workspace.  I am running Win 7 ultimate with 4GB of ram. System is 64 bit .  Display is ATI Radeon HD  5700 series. Adapter type is AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x68B8). The computer has an Intel(R) series/3400 Chipset Family.
    When I installed from the disk I received the message  Exit Code 6, 0 fatal errors, 21 errors, 1 warning. I have reinstalled several times and still get the same message. Tried disabling start up items while installing but same message.

    One thing that sort of jumps out at me, regarding running the program, is that 4GB of RAM. With a 64-bit OS, 4GB is just about the minimum to run the OS, with little to nothing left over for a program, like Photoshop. I would bump that up, and to 12 - 16GB, if possible.
    For the installation, I think that Mylenimum has posted some very useful links.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
