How do I modify my Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 preferences file?

I know the location, and I've done it before in the previous version of CC, but for some reason its not letting me in the newest version of Illustrator (CC 2014), does anyone have a step by step to getting this done?

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 won't open under my current admin profile.

I recently installed Adobe CC 2014 suite on my Windows 7 OS. All the programs open properly with the exception of Illustrator CC. The error message I get is:
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Since receiving this message I have gone through other forum posts and have tried all (below) with no remedy.
Uninstalled using Windows Uninstall Program followed by Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstalled. (I’ve done this numerous times. I also removed any prior software versions (CS5) along with preceding software preferences.)
All of my OS drivers have been updated.
Monitor, Processor and GPU Drivers are updated. NOTE: I’m running an Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz processor and an AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series GPU.
I’m running my workstation as an admin user, however created a shared user group so InDesign would open properly. (This was my other problem I was having up until a few hours ago.)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Verdana and Tahoma TTF fonts.
I am not running or have installed any 3rd party plug-ins.
I read a forum post that said you can get around this problem by creating a new admin account. I did and was able to open Illustrator under that profile; however I’m still unable to open it under my existing admin account. How can I get around this? There must be a way to get Illustrator to open in my current account.
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I’m now on day No. 2 trying to get this solved.

Hello Mylenium,
Is this what you need to determine what is causing Illustrator CC to crash upon opening the program?

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?
INCA

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - Custom Crop Marks?

Hello all,
I've been looking for a solution to this problem for some time now, and am hoping to find help here!!
Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 - want to be able to customize how crop marks are created through Object>Create Trim Marks. Does anyone know of any plugins that could achieve this? Manually shrinking and shifting the crop marks takes too much time...
Thanks in advance to any contributors!

I know of no plugins for this.
The fastest way we found was to use Libraries.
1. Make one set of trim marks and save it in the library.
2. On a new document, make a box the trim size of your doc.
3. Snap guides to the 4 edges of the box.
4. Drag out the crop marks (double, triple, with registration marks, or whatever you created in your original Library item).
5. Snap each of four mark sets to the guide corners.
Voila.

Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 crashes on start Windows 8

Hello,
I can't start Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.
When it shows "initialising" there is the program-window building up (only white screen) but then it crashes down (showing that the programm does not work anymore :/ )...
I allready tried all advises in this forum and others, but nothing worked (the Verdana/Tahoma issue and so on....).
Is there a way to solve the Problem?
Please excuse my bad english.
Thanks a lot!

Interestingly, my problem was only fixed for 2 days, but doing this fixed it. I removed everything relating to Wacom (drivers, etc.):
Issue | Illustrator CC crashes at launch
Users have reported that Illustrator crashes during or after launch. Specifically, using an input device (for example, a mouse, stylus, tablet device, or others) soon after you start Illustrator CC causes the application to crash immediately.
Cause | Outdated device drivers:
This error occurs due to outdated Wacom device drivers on your computer. Updating the drivers (or uninstalling old or unused device drivers) fixes this issue. This issue can occur even if you do not have any Wacom device currently attached to your computer.
Solution 1: Update Wacom device drivers
Uninstall your current Wacom device drivers. See your Wacom product documentation, for information on how to uninstall the device drivers.
(Recommended for Mac users) If available on your computer, delete the file WacomMultiTouch.framework. To check for and delete the file:
In a new Finder window, click Go > Go to Folder > type /Library/Frameworks > click Go.
In the opened folder, check for a file named WacomMultiTouch.framework. If the file exists, delete it.
Visit the Wacom support site, and reinstall the latest Wacom device drivers for your computer.
Solution 2: Uninstall Wacom device drivers
If you are not using a Wacom device, uninstall the drivers associated with the device, and then launch Illustrator
