Having problem opening files with gradients in CS2

When I try to open an illustrator 9 file from CS2, I get "An unknown error has occurred." message. I believe this may be a CS2 problem because when I checked further, I discovered that only AI 9 files where the gradient feature was used were affected. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Sjmitc, I followed Barbara's instructions about only about 24 hours ago and since then my files have been opening perfectly.  I tried it again before replying to you and they are still opening fine.
I did have to go through my files a couple of times to find all the Elements preferences, but the solution is working fine so far.  I will let you know if I have any further problems.  It is maddening when it happens, so I hope you can fix yours.
Best of Luck

Henwen, Is this solution still working for you? I tried this same solution on mine a few days ago and had no luck. However, it actually let me open files this afternoon then when I went back in later today, it was doing the disappearing act again.

  • Problem opening files with Mac OS Mavericks and Elements

    I have recently installed Mac OS 10.9.x Mavericks.  Since this I have had problems opening files in Elements 11.  I upgraded to Elements 12, blindly hoping the problem would fix itself, however it hasn't.   When I try to open a file the Finder window pops up then disappears immediately.  Occasionally it will stay open until I scroll down but then closes.   I keep the files on an external drive but the drive is working with all other applications, so I don't think it is that.  If anyone has had a similar problem and has any ideas I would be grateful as the program is unusable for now.  Thanks very much in anticipation

  • I am having trouble opening files with a psa extension. These files come from space planning software and I was told that Photoshop elements would be able to open files with a pas extension. Does anyone have any advise?

    Does anyone know why I am unable to open psa files with elements 13. I read on the internet that elements was the software that I needed. However, it does not work. The files are coming from space planning software.

    In older versions of Elements PSA files were associated with Photoshop Album which has now been replaced by the Organizer. Elements has no 3d functionality for supporting space planning files but these files can normally be exported or saved by the originator as a bitmap or pdf file. Those could then be opened in PSE. I suggest you explore the possibilities of file conversion with your original source.

  • Having problem uploading files with file manager

    When i use file manager and try to select a file from desktop then desktop disappears quickly so you can't even select the file you want.  I'm using firefox 25 and i thought it was that so i deleted firefox and reinstalled firefaox and get the same problem.
    It tried with safari and it works ok.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  Its really annoying.
    Thanks,
    Den

    Well, since you didn't mention exactly what the problem is, I have to assume you have not set up your website definition properties correctly. There are plenty of good step by step instructions in the help files for setting up your website definition.

  • I am having problems attaching files with Maverick.  Any suggestions?

    I can't attach files to emails or access them at all from any app.  They are visible but greyed out.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Problems opening files with adobe reader 11

    I have just downloaded Adobe Reader 11 and now cannot open pdf files online (the computer freezes and I have to shut down explorer) or saved files either (adobe reader opens for about 5 seconds, then just shuts down).  I am operating on windows 7 and have all the current updates from windows.  Can anybody help please?

    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    Another thing to try: use Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader
    then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

  • Having trouble opening files

    Can somone help me having trouble opening files with my Ipad

    I started having the exact same problem yesterday. It has happened to me a little less than 2 years ago on this same machine (which was very new at the time). I was hoping to come here and find an easier solution than I resorted to in the past. Before I had to completely reformat my computer to get it to work properly again.
    For me, the first time this problem happened was when I was working on a job that is stored on our company server. The server went down while the file was open and I was kicked off and everything locked up. When I tried to get out of the file nothing happened and I had to force quit. When it got back up, I logged back onto the server and everything seemed fine until trying to open, save as or place a file. Then I see what you see, open a folder and rather than going inside the folder, I get the turn down arrow or I just see the same list of folders and cannot get into the final folder where the art resides that I wish to place (or attach in an email, etc.)
    I don't know how it happened yesterday. It could have actually happened on Friday night. Our company runs 3 shifts and it may have happened on 2nd shift Friday night or on 3rd shift Sunday night / Monday morning. I discovered it yesterday afternoon.
    If anyone has a better solution than reformatting, that would be GREAT! I have done the disk utility checking and fixing permissions and that didn't work the first time or today either. Thanks for any info!

    Hi George ,
    Is it happening with all the PDF' or any specific one?
    Could you please share the error message so that we can replicate at our end ?
    Try repairing reader  once and see if that fixes the issue.

  • Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program. This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files.

    Opening files with Illustrator and photoshop doesn't work, i have to drag the files from finder in to the program.
    This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

    I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
    Good luck.

  • I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

    I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?

    Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
    Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

  • Having problems opening AI files in solidworks

        Having problems opening an AI file in solid works 2014.  The illustrator version I have is CS6 64 bit. and I am using windows 7.  When I import the file into a sketch, Illustrator opens up and nothing happens.  I am able to open up dxf, tif,etc.  I read on another forum someone had the creative suite that contained 64 and 32 bit versions of the program. and it was working .   Any ideas on what to do?   Thanks for your help!

    By "translate" do you mean color shifts?  What is it about the prints that are incorrect?  Do you have document color mode info?  What are the Color Settings in the Taiwan Illustrator application vs. the U.S.?

  • I am having problems attaching files to my email using the latest Firefox 13.0.1, Comcast is my internet provider, but I did not have problem with Safari.

    Why am I having problems attaching files to my email using Firefox 13.0.1.?
    I am using a MAC, OS 10.6.8, and have Comcast as my internet provider. I noticed after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 that I am having problems attaching files to my email. I do not experience the same problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox, as all of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there. I just like the way Firefox works better than Safari.
    I am a free-lance graphic designer and rely on my internet connection to my customers. I need this resolved ASAP!

    Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
    * Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
    * View menu > Zoom > Reset
    You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
    Any luck?

  • Acrobat 9.1.3 problems opening files

    Hi,
    I'm having problems opening some files with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1.3 and Windows XP and Vista.  The problem also exists in other versions of Acrobat reader as well.  I updated to the latest version hoping it would fix things.  The problem is when I double click an Acrobat file, no matter where I save it, it starts Acrobat reader and then freezes.  This does not seem to be the case with ALL acrobat files, mainly ones created in Excel and saved using the save as pdf utility provided by Microsoft.  I have to forcibly quit Acrobat reader from the task manager.  I have found that if I start Acrobat reader first that I can open the file by using the open command in the file menu.  If I e-mail the file to someone else they are unable to open it unless they go through the same procedure I do.
    Any thoughts as to what may be wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the response! I should have been a little more clear, though. The software is installed on and being run off of each of the individual local machines. The server just manages the users' home folders.
