Cant open/start a  'new' file....'Print.ai' is an unknown format...help.

All,
When I try to start/open a new file, I am getting this error message:
"The file 'print.ai' is an unknown format and cannot be opened".

This refers to one of the startup profiles.
Try and:
- repair permissions on your system
- rebuild the preferences in Illustrator

    First, ask in the forum for the program you are using

    Second, do a complete scan with a good anti-virus program to be sure your computer is clean... I use Norton, there are others

  • Photoshop CS 4 says to update my drivers. Then every time I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening.

    Photoshop CS4 is telling me I need to update my graphics drivers. When I try to start a new file, it crashes. I have updated my drivers, but it is still happening. Please help as I cannot use the software at all at this point and I desperately need it. I am using a HP desk top with Windows Vista Home Premium with a NVIDIA graphics card.

    See if HP has a different update.  It may be proprietary, specific to your machine.

  • Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file.  This happened after running CCleaner

    Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file.  This happened after running CCleaner

    Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
    One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
    System Restore - Microsoft Windows
    If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
    That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
    They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

  • Issue opening or creating new files in illustrator CS5 windows 7 64bit, "Not Responding"

    Issue opening or creating new files in illustrator CS5 windows 7 64bit, program becomes "Not Responding" when opening a file.
    I had recently tried a trial version of FontExplorer Pro X, and this issue has come up after the Uninstallation of that program.  Any suggestions?

    Check for ant third party plugin in the plugin folder....?
    Also Check in the new user account?

  • Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.

    Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.  Its almost as if its a part of my signature but its not.  I took the video from an email message, and sent it via sms/mms to a friend, since then it just appear in every new message I create, regardless of who it is going to.  I thought maybe imessage got messed up so I turned it off and back on, still there.

    I ended up resetting my phone by erasing all contents and settings.  Not ideal, but I was getting pretty frustrated with it.  Anyway, it worked.  I hope Apple figures this out cause I don't want to have to reset again if this happens again.  good luck.

  • Photoshop no longer can open or create new files

    I'm using CS3 on Windows. I had Photoshop open with 2 small PSDs: I individually closed each window. I then tried to open a PNG from my desktop: nothing happens. I'm on a single monitor setup running at my max resolution (1920x1200). It literally looks like it does when you first launch PS and there's no files open. So I shut it down and tried again: same thing. Shut it down and relaunched it: can't even make a new file, it has the exact same behavior: dialogs open and are interactible but after clicking "OK" there's nothing, as if I just opened the app. Yes, it's a legit copy. I did a search and tried the voodoo that people claimed fixed their problem (such as changing the default printer, etc) and none of it works. I had it happen a week ago as well and had no idea how it fixed itself. It just one day started working again. This is so irritating. I guess I'm going to have to use MS Paint now to view my PNGs.

    Maybe a dialog is off screen. Have you tried pressing Esc when "nothing Happens"?
    Did you really reset your preferences as described in the FAQ?

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

  • Illustrator CC(2014) does not open or create new file in Window 8.1 Pro

    My illustrator can launch but once I tried to create a new file it would freeze and will not respond anymore.
    I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
    I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
    All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
    Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

    Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?
    Is a printer connected? Is the driver up to date? Printer turned on?
    Do you have any third party plugins installed?
    A graphic tablet?
    Any other hardware?
    Font management? Which one?
    Have you already tried setting up a new user account (Admin) and launching from that one?

  • Photoshop CC 2014 crash when opening or creating new files when running with Cintiq 13HD.

    I have a problem where Photoshop CC 2014 crashes when trying to open or create a new file while the Photoshop window is being displayed on my Cintiq 13HD.
    When Photoshop is being displayed on my main monitor it doesn't crash.
    I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) and have updated my graphics and wacom drivers to their latest versions and Photoshop is completely up to date. (I'm running the 30-day free trial)
    Here's the event log of the crash:

    As you can already see, your ATI/AMD video card drriver is crashing.
    Update the driver from AMD's website to pick up all the bug fixes you are missing.

  • CC 2014 closes after opening/starting a new project.

    So i called Adobe about this problem on Friday and after an hour and a half of trying stuff, it was all for not.
    we ended up getting disconnected, and i didnt feel like calling them again.
    once i open Premiere Pro CC2014 all seems good till i try to open a Project or start a new one,
    it just immediately closes with out letting me do anything.
    The Custmer Support guy tried:
    - Reinstalling it.
    - updating my graphics card.
    - removing some files.
    - making a new user on my computer.
    all of which didnt work...i really hope that i can get it up and running soon ><

    Are you on Windows or Mac, and exactly which operating system version?

  • Illustrator crashes on open or create new file

    Illustrator CS4 (on Mac 10.5.8) crashes every time I try to create a new file or open an existing AI file.
    I've read a number of threads on here, related to similar problems, and did the following (in this order):
    deleted the font cache  --> didn't help
    resolved duplicate fonts  --> didn't help
    deleted the Illustrator preferences folder/files  --> didn't help
    created a new user account and opened Illustrator  --> Illustrator WORKS
    Illustrator seems to work just fine in the new user account I created, yay!  But, I want it to work in my user account.
    Are there preferences, settings, files, applications I need to check to resolve the issue in my account?  Any particular place I should start?
    Thanks for any feedback!

    Hello,
    My name is Mimose Francois, I would like to start a new document but I can't find the option to choose either a blank or a line paper. When I click on "Open" a list of downloaded or scanned documents came up. Can you help me? thanks.

    Close Windows Media Player.
    Use Windows to locate the folder(s) in which the song files reside.  It might be "My Music."
    In iTunes, use the command File > Add Folder to LIbrary.  When the dialog comes up, point it to the folder that has the music.
