CS 14.0.0 open dialog box does not work

A coworker just got a new computer.
Windows xp pro service pack 1
cs 14.0.0
File associations for .eps and .ai are Illustrator cs4.
Double clicking on a file (.eps .ai) does work
Dragging a file to illustrator does work
However...
File>Open   does not work
File>Place  does not work
Deleting the aiprefs file has no effect.
I also copied my aiprefs file to her computer, also no good.
Also reinstalled Illustrator, no effect.
Any ideas?  Maybe something to do with xp, or the lack of service pack updates?

Updated windows to service pack 3 and it seems to have fixed all.

  • Save As dialog box does not gain focus (bring to foreground) with Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I've got several users with Microsoft Windows 7 (64bit) and Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (OEM) with the same problem.  When you go to Print to your PDF Printer, the Save As... dialog box does not come to the foreground and gain focus.  Most often it just sits in the taskbar blinking to get their attention.
    However the users get frustrated and often don't realize the Save As box popped up at all.  They did not have this problem with Windows XP.
    I actually can replicate the problem on my own PC.
    Any workarounds for this behaviour?
    Thanks,
    -Tim

    This appears to be a Windows 7 focus issue.
    You can back up your registry and try the fix below, it worked for me.
    Fix number 1
    1. Open Start >> Run and type “regedit” (without quotes)
    2. Navigate to the following path:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
    3. Right Click on the empty space and create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value named ‘ForegroundLockTimeout’, set or modify the value to 0. (this value will cause the application to take the focus instantly.)
    4. That’s it Done, exit registry and restart windows for changes to come into effect.

  • I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

    Hi Noel,
    Actually, I just checked my scratch disk available space and it says ot is over 1.7 TB!!  I am only using the C drive as my scratch drive, as that is my only drive.  Anyway, I appreciate your help! Still will not function properly.  Maybe I should try reinstalling Photoshop.

  • Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; all the rest works, and in Opera it works; can you help? it seems everything else works fine

    Ryanair 'flights' dialog box does not load; I tried in other languages too, it is the same error; it works fine with opera browser in this very same computer I am writing in; please help, if you can; it worked up to two months ago, then I don't know, too long has past from last time I used ryanair, and the rest works all fine, it seems... thanks so much for your time,

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
    When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

    Gelouis,
    I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1723170

    Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

  • TS1398 On my ipod, it shows that it's connected to a wifi network but when i try to open safari, it does not work

    On the wifi settings it shows that my ipod is connected to a network, but when I try to open safari it does not open it, because it says its not connected to wifi

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • "Open containing folder" does not work

    After having hit the button "Open containing folder" in the download manager it seems that the computer is busy, but no window opens up.
    I am using Windows 64 bit (all updates) and Firefox 3.6.12.
    Same issue in uTorrent, so it's maybe Microsofts's fault?

    venemovil, thank you for your reply.
    Well, this behaviour is not restricted to a special folder. Regardless of where I save the file, it does not work. In the General tab I have set Firefox to ask me every time where to save the file. The folders are on different partitions and/or hard drives.
    This occured immediately after installing Windows 7 64 (I have only installed the very most important programs).

  • Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

    My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
    I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
    Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

    Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
    You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

    I bought the iphone5 on your online store on Nov24. 2013, Last year, I came back China. more ten days before, my iphone 5 's open-close-key did not work. I contact Apple's China, but they told me that they could not help me repair the problem, how to deal with ?

    What is the "open-close" key?  Do you mean the power button or the home button?

  • VI Server dialog box does not show

    I have an application that has a number of pop-up windows. Some of these are the built-in "File Dialog" VIs & some of them are my own modal windows (open when called, close when done). I have about 5 of my own and several built-in ones (like Yes/No Dialog boxes).
    I want to run a Web Server or VI Server to this application and am not sure how to best handle these pop-up windows. I would guess I would need a separate Web Publishing .htm file for each window, but of course the File Dialog does not have one. And I'm not sure what is the best approach using the VI Server.
    Any suggestions? I do not want to make an executable in my case as the program needs to run locally but be accessed remotely.

    The popups you're talking about called from the File Dialog VIs are windows system dialog boxes. These will need to be opened by a program on the remote machine somehow. This can be done either by remotely executing the code or modifying the code to use a different type of popup box native to whatever environment your client is running (for instance, google chrome has a prompt box). If you're running the whole thing in HTML you might look at http://www.javascripter.net/faq/confirm.htm for info on how to write a simple javascript dialog. I'm not sure I completely grasp your application, but regardless you're going to have to manage those popups from the remote execution environment. Just make sure you understand that the File Dialog ones are coming from windows system calls.
