Has anyone else encountered a distorted/skewed Ai CC 2014 Welcome screen?

I'm running Ai CC 2014.0.0 (v18.0.0) on Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion.
The the content of the Welcome screen is distorted/skewed.
Has anyone else encountered — and resolved — this?
NOTE: I just now updated Ai CC from v18.0.0 to v18.1.0.
I get the same thing: A distorted Welcome screen.

Sumit, THANK YOU for your follow-up. It certainly is appreciated!
I visited the thread you provided the link to (above) [https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1512827], and duplicated the steps described in the final entry, by Yankee Rebel on August 6, 2014, which is:
Thanks for your response but the problem is no longer a factor. I went to Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS/CEP/extensions and removed "com.illustrator.welcome" folder. That stopped it.
I was having a seize-up problem in In-Design upon launch. It would boot but then freeze when the "welcome" screen popped up. I also deleted the welcome screen docs from In-Design in much the same manner as described just above for Illustrator. It then ceased to be a factor.
A note about the navigation route (Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS/CEP/extensions):
In case anyone else makes use of this, be aware that when you get to "Adobe Illustrator.app" you have to hold down the Control key when you click on the app. The Control key reveals, among other options, "Show Package Contents." Select that, and then the "Contents" folder; then follow the rest of the navigation directions.
The above worked for me; no more Welcome window (distorted or otherwise).
Although that window is desirable for its links to New Features, those can be accessed via Illustrator's main menu > Help > Illustrator Support Center. That will take you to the Illustrator CC page on the Adobe website, where you will see these links:
"Overview," "What's New," "Learn & Support," and "Download."

  • When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    When I try to open a document created in Pages, I get an error message saying "[Document Name" can't be opened."  I don't want to lose hours of work; has anyone else encountered this?

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

  • Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

    I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
    By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
    I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
    Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
    Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
    Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

    Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
    Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
    Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
    Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

  • HT4528 I have to say hello twice before the other party responds. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    I have to answer twice on an incoming call on my Iphone 5 before the other party responds. Does anyone else encounter this problem?  Thank you.

    When you respond to an incoming call by pressing the green button, your cellular provider may take a second or two to actually get the connection going.
    Instead of saying "Hello" twice, try waiting a second or two until the first "Hello" from when you click the green button.

  • Has anyone else encountered a problem with poster frames not recognising a video's pixel aspect ratio

    I'm discovering a strange effect with some of the .mp4 videos I've upload into iBooks Author. They're Pal SD 4:3 .movs with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio and they play out fine on the iPad. However the iBooks software seems to be ignoring the pixel aspect ratio of the poster frame. This leads to the situation.
    1) When I drag my video into iBooks author all looks good - the video is 16:9 and if I choose to set a poster frame (or leave it at default) it looks 16:9 in the iBooks Author.
    2) I preview my book and it opens in iBooks on the iPad. But now the poster frame aspect ratio is 4:3
    3) I click on the video to start playing and it immediately jumps to 16:9 aspect ratio and plays out fine.
    4) If it scroll down a couple of pages and then scroll back the video poster frame has now reset itself to 4:3
    This sounds like a bug to me. Anyone else had it? Do you know if it's possible to report bugs without having a Developer licence?
    Thanks for any help
    Rob

    While there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.

    What do you mean by "import" images? Are you talking about editing files in Camera Raw? Is it a raw file? From which camera? Exactly what version of Camera Raw are you using?

    As of two days ago, the ability to print from my MacBookPro to the PSC 1600 Series vanished, indicating they do not have new software ready.  I have tried HP and Apple but have not received any help.  Can anyone help me to find whatever software that was either lost or not updated.  My iMac did have an HP update.

  • Has anyone else encountered this problem? (Urgent)

    Flags flags = message.getFlags();

  • HT204150 Has anyone else encountered the problem of the contacts just duplicating themselves?

    I seem to be having difficulties with the contacts app where the contacts seem to multiply without my intervention. I am tired of trying to erase hundreds of unwanted duplicate contacts. How can I prevent this or should I stop using the cloud?

  • Has anyone else encountered a situation where images suddenly gone missing?

    i've had files suddenly gone missing on me several times. i was so sure that this might be a bug but now i think it's user error. at least my error.
    a few times i wanted to delete one image and then found that several other images disappeared on me. here i realize that i forgot to deselect all of the other images before deleting the one image i intend to delete.
    another time for some unexplained reason, so it seemed, several images disappeared on me. poof! i couldn't find them anywhere, but i didn't think to look in the Rejected library. later on i realize that i've pressed the zero key by mistake while the images were selected. the zero key rejects the images and placed them in the Rejected library. i've found some of my missing images in this library. phew!
    for those of you who have some missing images, and haven't taken a look inside your Rejected library, take a look and maybe you'll find some of your missing images in there.

    You might just need to clear your search by selecting
    the "x" in the search field.
    Not quite the same as going into the search field and changing the rating slider and selection to show only deleted as by just clearing the search field does not change the slider rating and you'll still not see the rejected files.

  • I just tried to update Firefox by downloading the new 3.6.14 version, but got a warning from my Norton Anitvirus that it contained the Heuristic virus. Has anyone else encountered this?

    Norton Antivirus prevented download of the latest Firefox update because it contained a Heuristic virus. I'm not sure if this is the name of the virus, but Suspicious.Cloud.5.D was mentioned with this notice I got from Norton.

    There is nothing in that other thread that clarifies what you did about Error 3014
    Here is the description of that error:

  • Elements 12 Organizer crashes every time I try to use the Photo Mail function. Has anyone else come across this bug?

    I highlight the photos I want to share, go to Photo Mail, select the addressees and press "Next". I then get the error message: "Elements Organizer has stopped working" and I have to close the program down.
    This is obviously a bug in the program and needs fixing. Has anyone else encountered it and found a solution. (I might add that the same crash happens if I try to use the "Email attachments" function.)

    Hi,
    Are you running on a Windows system?
    If so, use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
    64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
      Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
      You should only have to do this once.
      Good luck

  • "Unknown Error" when attempting to move/drag a folder in the Folders Panel in Library Module. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thank you.

    Hello fellow LR users,
    Last night, I attempted to drag one sub-folder into a different Parent folder but then I received the "unable to move & unknown error" notification. After a few more attempts I received the same notification. My solution was moving the folder into the different Parent folder outside of Lightroom. I moved the folder in my PCs Operating System.
    Has anyone else encountered this issues? Any solutions?
    Thank you,
    Daniel

    Your method of using the OS is considered best. If you copy (drag) a folder to a new place you simply right-click on the folder name in the LR Library and choose update folder location. Then navigate to the new location.
    LR automatically updates the catalog database. You can then delete the original folder.
