Illustrator CC crashes on opening or creating a file

Out of the blue Illustrator CC has decided to crash immediately on trying to open or create a file.
I am on a 64 bit windows 7 machine.

verbalmugging,
Here is the usual list (including the usual suspects in Item 7 in the link in Step 5)) that Monika refers to (the non destructive preference resetting is Step 4):
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator crashes on open or create new file

Illustrator CS4 (on Mac 10.5.8) crashes every time I try to create a new file or open an existing AI file.
I've read a number of threads on here, related to similar problems, and did the following (in this order):
deleted the font cache --> didn't help
resolved duplicate fonts --> didn't help
deleted the Illustrator preferences folder/files --> didn't help
created a new user account and opened Illustrator --> Illustrator WORKS
Illustrator seems to work just fine in the new user account I created, yay! But, I want it to work in my user account.
Are there preferences, settings, files, applications I need to check to resolve the issue in my account? Any particular place I should start?
Thanks for any feedback!

Photoshop CC 2014 crash when opening or creating new files when running with Cintiq 13HD.

I have a problem where Photoshop CC 2014 crashes when trying to open or create a new file while the Photoshop window is being displayed on my Cintiq 13HD.
When Photoshop is being displayed on my main monitor it doesn't crash.
I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) and have updated my graphics and wacom drivers to their latest versions and Photoshop is completely up to date. (I'm running the 30-day free trial)
Here's the event log of the crash:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.2.1.257, time stamp: 0x543dbc5e
Faulting module name: atig6txx.dll, version: 8.14.1.6398, time stamp: 0x54176130

As you can already see, your ATI/AMD video card drriver is crashing.
Update the driver from AMD's website to pick up all the bug fixes you are missing.

Re: Illustrator CC crashes on opening

I have the same problem only on Windows 7. Ever since upgrading to CC my Adobe Illustrator crashes right after it opens everytime. This is a major set back, and I didn't read any clear solutions in the replys. Has anyone figured this out yet on a PC?

Hi Cmarabate,
Try the following steps:
1) Disable the "Graphic Cards" driver using Device Manager and then launch AI CC. Once AI CC gets launched successfuly you may enable the driver of the display graphic card. If this works then note that if you delete the AI preferences by chance then you have to perform these steps again.
2) Update the "Graphic Cards" driver and then launch AI.
Do let me know if this resolves the issue if not than:
Please share the crash dump file “Illustrator.dmp”. The steps to create the dump file are:
Open the “Task Manager” when the Adobe Illustrator CC crash window is displayed.
In the Task Manager window right-click on the name/string “Adobe Illustrator CC” and select the option “Create Dump File” in the context menu
It will display that this command will create a file “Illustrato.dmp” in your “Temp” folder. Click on OK to create this. Wait for the action to get this completed.
Once the above file gets completed you can have this file by typing “%temp%” in your “Run” window (press “window button + r” on the keyboard). On clicking the enter key the TEMP folder can be opened.
Look there for the file name “Illustrator.dmp” and share it with me [email protected] using dropbox.
Thanks & Regards,

Illustrator CC crashes when opened

Hi guys, I need a little help: I use Adobe Creative Cloud, mostly for PhotoshopCC but I recently installed IllustratorCC. Photoshop works fine, but I've never been able to open Illustrator without it crashing and giving an error message.
I have so far tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator, and using both 32 bit and 64 bit (This computer is 64 bit). No one I've talked to has had this problem and I don't have enough knowledge to know quite how to go about dealing with it. I am not sure if I should move this question to the Illustrator forums? Please help, thank you.

Hi Pyrosim,
Merry Christmas.
Will it be possible for you to send me the crash dump file.
The steps to get the crash dump file are:
Open the “Task Manager” when the Adobe Illustrator CC crash window is displayed.
In the Task Manager window right-click on the name/string “Adobe Illustrator CC” and select the option “Create Dump File” in the context menu
It will display that this command will create a file “Illustrato.dmp” in your “Temp” folder. Click on OK to create this. Wait for the action to get this completed.
Once the above file gets completed you can have this file by typing “%temp%” in your “Run” window (press “window button + r” on the keyboard). On clicking the enter key the TEMP folder can be opened.
Look there for the file name “Illustrator.dmp” and share it with me [email protected] using dropbox.

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
System Restore - Microsoft Windows
If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

Why does illustrator CC crash on open in my macbook after installing cintiq 13HD?

I used illustrator CC for a while and it was working fine. Then I got the cintiq 13HD and I setup eveything was required to make it work. I tried it with most of my applications specially photoshop, flash and even watched a movie on the cintiq and everything worked just fine. Then, I wanted to use illustrator CC but it started to crash every time I try to open it. So I contacted Adobe customer care two times the fist time the resolve was to delete my preferences from the library by clicking on finder the from the menubar I click go then go to folder then I write "~/Library/" then "Adobe illustrator 17" and I delete the folder inside it. So, I followed the steps and it worked so I had to orgnise my tools, colors and everything but it worked. However, some of my saved documents didn't work. The next time I tried to open illustrator it crashes again and I had to do all the steps again and again. Everytime I need to use illustrator I have to delete that folder and reorgnise my tools.
so I contacted them again the guy answers was we do not support tablets! and he wasn't helpful at all.
So can anyone give me an answer. How can I use illustrator on my cintiq without facing this problem?

Seems to me like the Wacom is introducing an additional "screen" area which gets stored in the workspaces or something like that and they do not initialize properly when opening the program. Probaly a bug for which you will have to wait to be fixed in an update...

Premiere Pro CC 2014 (8.0.1.21) crashes when opening or creating a project

I just downloaded the trial for Premiere Pro CC (2014), and the program keeps crashing every time I open or create a new project. I can idle at the "Startup Screen" but as soon as I open a project the program closes without warning. I've re-installed all Adobe products I have, re-installed the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 and 2013 to get new MSVCR110.dll files (which seems to be the file causing the crash) but nothing is helping. I've also looked in every thread I've found on this forum and a lot of people seem to be having the same problem, but no one had got any answers for how to solve the problem.
Anyone have a clue on what to do? According to others formatting the hard drives don't seem to solve the problem either.

Illustrator CC crashes on opening

Illustrator CC crashes on startup, I use Mac Os X 10.6.8, and don't have "wacexportfile.aip" plug-in, did try to turn off all fonts, still doesn't work, any other reason?
Thanks

I found the way to solve the problem, press Cmd + option + Shift when launchin Illustrator CC, and it opened.

Illustrator CC crashes when opening large files

Illustrator CC crashes everytime a try to a open a file larger than 100MB, I have restarted my Mac, reinstalled Illustrator, it solves the problem for a day, but the next day is the same problem all over again. It doesn't show any message, it only displays the pizza rainbow and won't let me perform any action.

Turns out this only worked until I quit Illustrator and restarted it. I looked at the thread posted above about finding a crash report for the incident. However, Illustrator never actually crashes it freezes when I open this small handful of files and then I have to force quit the program. It clearly has something to do with the plugins because I have deleted the Plugin Cache file and it resolves the problem only temporarily. Is there a way to remove all of the plugins from Illustrator or find out which plugins have been installed that are compatible with the program?

Illustrator crashes after opening new or existing file

I have the trial version of Illustrator CS5 and am using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3. I want to purchase the full version of CS5 Design, but everytime I try to use Illustrator, it crashes. More specifically, it launches just fine. However, when I click on File>New, or when I try to open an existing Illustrator CS2 file, the application crashes. It is important to note that it has never worked. All of the other applications in CS5 work fine, so far as I know. It is just Illustrator that keeps crashing. Any help would be appreciated. If I can't get the trial version to work, I am not going to purchase CS5 Design at all.

The way that I had figured out that it was the fonts was that our IT department totally reinstalled my operating system & everything worked fine. Then, when I installed a copy of my fonts that I had previously, it had the same exact problem. So that's when I went back to the original fonts & then added my previous fonts in batches & then narrowed it down when I hit the batch that caused the problem. (I have maybe 1000 fonts on my computer) I don't think that you can take off all of your fonts because I think that the computer & Illustrator has certain system fonts that is required to run. I'm not sure how you would be able to get back to your original fonts without reinstalling your operating system (which you probably don't want to do since this might not even be your problem). In the future, a good idea would be to save a copy of your orignal fonts in a separate folder, so that you can very quickly determine if your issue is with a font or not.
I should add that I'm assuming that you've added fonts at some point (all people that I know who work in Illustrator do). If you never have, then fonts are probably not your issue.
