Illustrator 10 on Windows 7 PC

I had Illustrator on a workstation running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. The OS crashed and I upgraded the workstation to Windows 7 Professional. I reinsallted Illustrator 10 and all seemed to go well - including activation.  When I go to run Illustrator, the splash screen appears and the app doesn't run.  Any suggestions?

Illustrator 10 came out in 2001. While it may well work well in Windows XP, that's very old to run in a modern operating system like Windows 7 Professional.

  • Use illustrator CS6 Windows in a  Mac ? I've got a pc and want to work on an imac, but is there no way to use my softwares adobe windows ?

    Hi.
    All is in the title.
    If anyone could answer me.
    I've got a licence illustrator CS6 windows,  and It would sound me incredible, not to be possible use it on mac.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks a lot Mylenium.
    Another question, please : I still have a little doubt with terms (I'm french and my english is not perfect). If I request a platform swap for Illustrator CS6, the new platform product still will be a CS6 ? Because switch to the new version CC would be as if I hadn't yet bought a licence (a subscription would mean pay twice...).
    Thank you for your answer.

  • Unable to install illustrator on windows server 2008

    I keep getting error messages when trying to install the free trial of Illustrator with windows server 2008 platform. Is this not an approved OS?

    You can't use AI in a server environment. That would violate the EULA. Single user only.
    Not true. Local installs and usage do not in any way collide with the EULA even on a server OS. He said nothing about provisioning or setting it up for remote users.

  • Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image?

    This question is for Adobe Customer Service, thanks. 
    Why does Illustrator on Windows 7, 64bit, take 30seconds+ to save a simple image comprising of two rectangles only (screen shot below)?  I set up a document like this to test the speed, since I've been having trouble saving all documents - they hang, sometimes with the 'this program is not responding' message.   Switching to CC is not an option.
    If it helps, I can come down to the Adobe San Francisco office with my computer.  I've spent a long time trying to resolve this without success.
    Btw, Photoshop CS6 saves fine.
    Thanks again.

  • There is no "Libraries" in my Adobe CC Illustrator's "Window" panels.

    There is no "Libraries" in my Adobe CC Illustrator's "Window" panels. There are "Brush", "Graphic", "Swatch" and Symbol Libraries at the bottom of the Window Tab. The Adobe shapes overview assumes it's there. Where do I access the Libraries Panel? We have a cloud corporate account. Does that have something to do with it?

    It takes an act of Congress to get our IT dept. to update anything much less re-install something. I will try. I do know it's the latest version of CC. So I'm baffled that the menus would not display appropriately.
    Thanks!

  • Problems with saving in Illustrator CS3 - Windows

    I'm using Illustrator CS3, Windows XP. Even the smallest files take a very long time to save. I try to save and it initally appears as if nothing is happening. If I click again, a portion of my screen goes white and the hour glass sits for what feels like forever while "Not responding" appears next to Illustrator in the bar. Eventually it finishes. Have run into the same problem with PhotoShop a couple times as well. Seems to have started after my upgrade to CS3. Can anyone help?

    "it initally appears as if nothing is happening" - no-no, disk indicator should be bright and nearly no-blinking!
    Solutions are (depending on the problem severity):
    1. Make more layers (even for the same kind of objects, especially for texts)
    2. Use RAID 5 disks for scratch files (VelocyRaptor is the best choice)
    3. Use i-RAM for scratch files (if the project not too big)
    4. Use RIndMA disk (http://hardwareforall.com/ww/serverRAMdisk.html) for scratch files

  • Warning symbol unicode U 26A0 / Alt 9888 can't display in Illustrator on Windows 7?

    Hello all, I am an IT professional trying to help some mac users migrate to PC at our workplace.
    Aside from some fonts that are missing, our major problem in moving operating systems is that our PC users are unable to use the warning sign symbol, which should be part of Arial Unicode MS font that is installed on Windows. I am able to type the exclamation point using alt and the numbers, or alt + and the 26A0 and have it appear in nearly all programs except for the creative cloud ones.
    Our designers really need this caution symbol. I noticed that on mac os the system seems to pull this symbol from "AppleSymbols" font. There has to be some way to render it in Illustrator on Windows 7. When I use the key shortcuts in adobe programs I get an X'ed box. The same shortcuts render just fine in other programs not part of the adobe family. I really would appreciate input on this issue as it's a little over my head seeing as I know next to nothing about the Adobe applications.
    I should note that obviously the mac users have no issue using this character.
    Any ideas or direction would be greatly appreciated! here is a link to the character we need to be able to input in illustrator on Windows 7. http://www.marathon-studios.com/unicode/U26A0/Warning_Sign

    Try using Segoe UI Symbol.

  • Moving around illustrator canvas/window

    I'm having a hard time dragging the illustrator canvas/window when it goes behind the Application Bar/Control panel. Is there a keyboard+mouse command for dragging the window at any point on the window?

    Wade,
    Thanks a lot... thats exactly what I was looking for.
    Scott,
    Thanks for the Tab hint.

  • Illustrator cs6 windows 7 64 bit,

    Illustrator cs6 windows 7 64 bit, When trying to move text the arrow automaticaly turns into the text tool and trying to move a vector object the arrow will not gather the object and when I finley get it gathered I have to move it with my arrows on my keyboard. what is going on?

    Nancy,
    I take it you have all layers visible at the same time. The rendering was just an (obviously irrelevant) example of what might eat time (if you make a layer visible, things like complicated blends and live effects (Drop Shadows or whatever) may take a bit of time to appear).
    With that ruled out, some description of the artwork may (still) be useful.

  • Illustrator and Windows 8.1

    I use Adobe Illustrator CS4. I just updated to Windows 8.1 and the colours in Illustrator are now very pale and dull. If I move the design to another program, the colours are bright so the problem must be something with Illustrator...

    I use pantone colour swatches.There is no difference in cmyk and rgb -modes. Before the update everything was working fine but after the Windows 8.1 -update the colours are all wrong... but I have no idea what I would need to do to correct things. Adobe couldn't help because I use an older Illustrator version (CS4), so there is no warranty anymore... :/

  • Photoshop CS5.5 - Unable to select Open With...Photoshop or Illustrator in Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    When I am in Windows Explorer or just in a Folder and I  Right-Click  on say a .jpg file and select Open With...  I am not able  to select  Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator for that matter.  I have  Dreamweaver CS4  and that shows up as an option.  I have gone through  the process of trying to add the  Adobe Photoshop .exe file, but it  still doesn't work.  However, if I open Adobe Bridge, I am able to  select Photoshop or Illustrator to open a file.  Is this  connected to  my install or is there something else going on?  I did  uninstall an  ancient version of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 that I've had for  years, but  that was prior to installing Production Premium CS5.  Could  that have  caused an issue?  I read that uninstalling an old Photoshop  can cause  problems like this.
    If that is the case, how do I fix it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am running Production premium CS5 with windows7 64 bit system. On right clicking the file in explorer,I am able to choose my default programme in which the file is to be opened and it is opening accordingly.
    I have Cs4 photoshop in another system with XP professional and here also the above option is available.I wonder how u will not have that feature or how it will not work inspite of having it.___Bosu Babu
