Illustrator CS and Win 7?

Greetings all,
I've searched prior posts and have noted that one must make some adjustments in the Win 7 environment to run Illustrator CS, but I didn't see anything regarding installation?
After checking the autorun, use agreement and choosing install Illustrator CS my system puts up an all blue with white lettering error screen and I must restart the computer to get back to normal. Is there something special I need to do to get the install done or is this simply a lost cause.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this problem.
Ron

Thank you both for the information. I will try installing and running the program with your suggestions.
I greatly appreciate your replies!
Ron

  • Problems with illustrator CS4 and win 7 64 bit pencil and bruch tools

    I just bought a computer with Windows 7 64 bit version. Whenever I use the Pencil tool and the brush tool, I can't see my lines as I draw them, only after I  draw. Also sometimes the first item I draw disappears, and lines will sometimes be randomly broken, with pieces missing.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? And have you found a way to get around it?
    I tried changing the compatability mode for the program to work for Windows XP, but that hasn't helped.

    Nor should it. Issues such as you describe them are usually graphics driver issues or problems with specific input devices such as tablets which compatibility modes can't fix, as they use the same drivers. So what is it you are using on that end?

  • Why am I getting the error message "Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains and incomplete or garbled object description."

    I work in a graphic design firm and 4 separate people have received these messages on separate days using separate files on separate MAC computers. We are all using CS6.
    "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation."
    "Can't open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. 1206.3.6006 % 1205.9736 1178.52 m % 1206.2236 1178.8374 I % 1206.3232 1178.% 1206.3.6006"

    After clicking ok the file will open; however, most of the illustration is missing. We are interested in repairing our files, but we are more interesting in figuring out why this is happening and fixing it. We are nervous to even open anything for fear this will happen again.
    Please help!

    brittanyesparks,
    One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
    Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

  • What is GOVT MEDIA KIT ILLUSTRATOR CS4 14 WIN

    I am ordering Illustrator for work and our IT guy is telling me I should also purchase GOVT MEDIA KIT ILLUSTRATOR CS4 14 WIN 65010318DG but he doesn't know exactly what it is since he's never used Illustrator. It has been added to our quote price from our contracted software provider but I can't find it anywhere on Adobe's site. Anyone know what it is? THanks!

    Perhaps a specific set of templates, symbol libraries and fonts required to create compliant form layouts for creating official correspondance media with authorities....

  • Frequent crashes in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign CS6

    Installed CS6 Design Standard on Windows 7 64 bit PCs. We get frequent crashes in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Specifically for InDesign it says it was due to an unhandled exception (exception code c0000005) and APPFRAMEWORK.rpln. The PCs are Dell Optiplex 7010 with 16 gigs of ram. Is this a common problem in Win 7 and CS6? What can be done to fix this?

    It's not a "common problem" and your info suggests that this is not at all related to Adobe at all. It's some driver crashing. Find the exact system info and crash details:

  • Issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8

    any known issues with illustrator 10 and windows 8...version worked fine on windows xp....new computer with windows 8....now cannot seem to operate. Loads, and shows access but will NOT start up. help ! thanx ttp74

    AI 10 is now 10 years or so old and was never tested on nor designed for Win 7 or Win 8. You should simply assume it's not compatible and will never run properly. feel free to spend your time with the compatibility modes and al lsorts of hacking with the security stuff and otehr settings, but to be honest, it will probably be a waste of time.

    Hi Jeff,
    Sorry for bothering you again. Should I provide a skydrive account for you and you help to upload AI CS4 into it? After that, I can download it by myself. Its free size is 7G, I think it is enough. Many thanks in advance.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC and macbook pro retina

    So I bought a new macbook pro with retina which has 8GB of memory, with OS X 10.9.4.  I am also trialing the creative cloud having downloaded Adobe Illustrator CC and Photoshop.
    Have only had the laptop for a couple of weeks and already I am having illustrator crashing within 15 or 20 minutes of building a graphic.  It got worse today, and the graphics are not even complicated; 3 times crashed today.  Does anyone else have this problem.  Does anyone know if this is just a compatibility issue between adobe and the macbook?  I was told by apple that as the laptop version had only just come out this might be the issue and adobe would have an update within a month or so.  Anyone know if thats true??
    By the way a friend of mine has been using adobe muse and that has also been crashing on his macbook pro, exactly same macbook pro as mine.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Christina,
    Since you are in a mixed environment, you should avoid using the operating
    system commands for portability reasons. You can use the -fns option on
    the ftexec command which allows you to override the environment/registry
    variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS.
    Example: ftexec.exe -fns computername:portnumber
    Hope this helps in your situation.

    Hello Christina,
    try the task.part.OperatingSystem.SetEnv() - method befor you make the
    start with RunCommand. in SetEnv you set FORTE_NS_ADRESS to server2:6000.
    Because the RunCommand executes a new shell, the calling Apllication A
    works with it's old adress.
    Hope it helps.

    Dear forte-users,
    I have the following problem.
    I have an application A that uses a certain environment (say Aenv, with

    a RunCommand and calls a "ftexec" which runs another Forte' application
    (B). Application B belongs to a different environment (say Benv, with
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=server2:6000).
    When I call application B from application A, application B reads the same
    FORTE_NS_ADDRESS which was set before start executing application A (that
    is, application B uses FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=server1:5000, which is incorrect).
    I can have mixed platform UNIX and Windows 95, so FORTE_NS_ADDRESS can be
    an environment variable or a line in forte.ini.
    Can you think of a workaround to this problem ?
    TIA

  • Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

    I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X  Yosemetie 10.10.2
    I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
    HELP!

    Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

  • ILLUSTRATOR 7 and upgrades to CS2 on a new 64-bit system

    I have a new computer running a 64-bit version of Windows and want to download my Illustrator 7 and subsequent upgrade Illustrator 8, Illustrator 10, and Illustrator CS2. I received a message saying 'cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows.' How can I overcome this problem?

    You'll probably find that you will need to run the apps in XP compatibility mode which should emulate a 32 bit OS. I wouldn't count on AI7 or AI8 working though.

  • Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

    I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
    Will this work?
    Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
    Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
    Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
    Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
    Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
    P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
    And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
    "Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
    Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
    What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
    And why do I need to remove drives?
    Rob

    I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
    Don't know what Linux requires.
    GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
    As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
    The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
    Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
    Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
    BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.
