Illustrator CS2 shuts down on open

I believe this is a legitimate Leopard question, please feel free to direct me to the right forum.
Every time I load Illustrator CS2 it shuts down (crashes) on open. I read some other forum comments on the same subject and tried to check my disk drive and verify my fonts. That seemed to fix the problem for one session then when I tried to use it again this morning, it started all over again. I've been using Illustrator on my system for years with no problem. Then, all of a sudden....
I am using a PowerMac G5 duel processor (the last generation of Motorola chips). Please of RAM and hardrive space.
HELP!!!!

According to what I'm seeing CS2 isn't officially supported under Leopard, and Adobe acknowledges that it will be buggy and they have no plans to fix those bugs.
Other links have mentioned a well-documented bug in Illustrator CS2 that was fixed with the CS3 release.
Here's a CS2 thread about the (lack of) support:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5673439&
My only suggestion here is to reinstall the software and see if that helps.

If you normally open with Organizer perhaps it is encountering a corrupt image in its cached folder on opening.
I just installed PSE 10 and set up a shortcut to go right to the full editor. See if that works for you.
If you have a lot of disk activity on starting, more than usual, previously installing certain plug-ins requires PSW to rebuild its cache system where these are stored.
In Organizer if you can set a preference to not open up the last folder used automagically, you might get it to start. Then when selecting folders to browse you can note which folder causes a crash. If you start the editor directly perhaps in preferences you'll find an Organizer setting to try this out.

Illustrator CS shuts down when I open a file

I've had Illustrator (CS 11.0.0) on my desktop machine for a while but not used it much. I am now intending to switch all my work from Creature House Expression3 to Illustrator (can't face upgrading to the MS product) and loaded Illustrator on my laptop so I can work away from home.
It loaded OK but if I try to open an existing Illustrator file or start a new project the application shuts down immediately. There's no fuss, and no messages, it just shuts down.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator but the problem is still there. It runs OK on my desktop PC.
My laptop is a new high spec Dell XPS with not much on it so there's no question of lack of room or power. It's running windows XP.
Advice to get me working on the laptop would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jacob
Thanks for persevering. I found it and I've experimented with creating a subfolder and moving the folder there, and moving the whole thing to the desktop. Still the same problem, Illustrator shuts down if I attempt to open a file. I tried rebooting too.
Eventually I removed Illustrator (using a wizard) then searched for illustrator files and deleted a few more things I found lying around. I removed the Illustrator tutorial stuff I had on there too. there was one font file that I couldn't delete though - it said I didn'thave authorisation - strange. Then I reinstalled Illustrator and tried again (and skipped when it said it had problems with this file as it was in use) - same problem.
There is a difference between the contents of the settings file on my laptop and on my desktop - I don't know if this is a useful diagnostic or not. On the laptop I have one folder: Plugins (with nothing in it) and two files: AI Color Settings, and AIMenuFaceCache.
On the desktop (where Illustrator works) I have the folder Plugins (again empty) and files: AI Color Settings, AIAppResources, AIMenuFaceCache, AIprefs, PDF Presets, Plug-in Cache.ARTZ, Print Presets, Transparencey Flattener Presets.
I just searched for aiprefs on the laptop (on the C drive using hidden files - it isn't there).
I'm stuck again now :-) Does this mean anything to you?

Adobe Illustrator CC immediate shut down after opening :(

I've had this problem since I got back to win 7 sp1 pro from win 8.1 pro. (im sure it doesnt happen cuz of this)
Illustrator CC v17.1 (64bit) opens and (crashes) closes really quickly so I cant do anything.
It happens when I open the program as well as when I open a .ai or .eps file.
Sometimes I get to keep it open by clicking the edit tab but then as soon as I leave that it closes.
It's driving me mad. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times (i mean deep uninstall with Revo Uninstaller) removing even registry entries and leftover folders. It is still the same ****. My drivers are all updated and win 7 updated with the latest updates.
Pc Configuration: (however, as far as I know the issue doesn't have to do with these specs)
2.3Ghz Intel i5
6 GB RAM
Intel Graphics 3000
Help Please. I have Illustrator licenced yet I cant use it.
Even when I try to install and leave trial version still the same.

fabiocimo,
Should I try the Cleaner Tool. Will it interfere to Photoshop and Dreamweaver installations?
It has been used countless times for cleaning up single applications, with no outcry about any real issues.
As far as I know, it will only interfere with files that are common to the uninstalled application and those still installed, and those files will be restored with the reinstallation.
You may have a look at this search term over in the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum:

Photoshop CS3 shuts down after opening a PSD file with layers

Hello, I have met a problem with Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP SP2, no network printer) - after opening a PSD file with layers (saved with CS2) Photoshop shuts down. No error message.
Can some of you help me? (The only software that I have installed after Creative Suite CS3 is Corel X4. I have installed no upgrades of CS3.)

You should!
Even if it doesn't help here you should.

Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6 - PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator immediately shuts down after startup

I'm troubleshooting for a customer who have Adobe Creative Suite Design CS6.
His programs suddenly wont start, they launches and starts to read plug-ins and open up a workspace, but then without warning/error it shuts down. no log, error message or anything...
It's the same for PhotoShop, InDesign and Illustrator both in 32 bit and 64.
He is running the suit on a Hp EliteBook 8560p with Windows 7 Pro x64 sp1.
He also have had a Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 penpad installed before.
This is what I've done so far:
* Uninstall the whole suit and reinstalled it again (Done this 3-4 times, manually deleted regestry-files, used CClean and other cleaning tools)
* Deleted the wacom-drivers with controlpanel tool, Windows driver Clean tool, CClean and manually deleted registry-keys and files.
* Uninstall Anti-Virus software and replaced it with another, inactivated AV and Windows Firewall.
* Deleted register-files for the suits and "reregister" them again.
* Full patch both for windows and adobe softwares.
* Reboot between each step
Any suggestions?
I have to add that adobe support for this $2000 software really sucks...
Thanks!

Problem solved!
I went through all the folders associated with adobe cs6 and renamed them (one by one) so they would be recreated.
I did this before but seems like I missed this specific one.
Anyway, when I renamed the folder "SLCache" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ and then ran the applications one by one as administrator I was prompted to enter a serial-key again and log in to my Adobe-ID.

I connected my iphone 4s that i unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. it told me it needed 8 hours. i closed my laptop. not shut down. i opened and it wants restorin?

I connected my iphone 4s that I unlocked for t-mobile. I plugged it into itunes, and it asked me to update to ios6. I accepted the download and update button. It told me it needed 8 hours. I closed my laptop, not shut down. I re-opened the laptop a few hours later, and it wants restoring?? Whats going on?! i want my iphone back! PLEASE HELP. I'M LOST!!! (I synced my iphone to my computer if that helps at all).

Yes, and, I try to restore. I have the T-Mobile sim card in it just to clarify. It will not let me get passed that, it does not accept the t-mobile sim card. i tried restoring it using wifi, cellular, and i cant get i tunes. I am scared that if i take the tmobile sim card out and put the at&t one in just to complete the restoration process that the iphone will lock again and not read the tmobile sim card, then all my hard work has gone for nothing. ( this whole process was caused by me trying wanting to empty my pictures onto my computer because i did not have any storage space left). <--- that may not be as important, but i included it just because.

İpod touch 3rd gen. OS.4.3.1 Shuts down and opens again while i use applications.

It is doing that after 2 or 3 months after i bought.For example i open Fifa 11 pick team and start the match when match starts it shuts down and the apple logo appears and open again.It does in İnfinity blade,X2 Football 2010.But not in Battlefield Bad Company or X2Footbal 2009.I sent it to service 1 month ago they only changed my battery said it is caused by charging it from Pc.Now i am charging it from usb adaptor but nothing changed.Please help me.I am sick of this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Try double-clicking the home button and closing the app(s) you are having trouble with from the multi-tasking tray (press and hold down the app until it starts to shake, and then tap the little red minus sign on the app). Then, try resetting your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.
Hope this helps!

Only able to edit one page from a project then must shut down to open another

Hi! I have upgraded to Muse CC 2014 on a Windows 7 machine, when I open a project I can only open a single page from the planning window. It will not allow me to open another page when double clicking on the page icon. If I close the first page opened I no longer have the ability to open any pages for editing. I have to FORCE QUIT Muse and reopen to edit a single page every time. Anybody have this issue and a fix? I already have went through the usual CC uninstall al reinstall so please do not suggest it.

Thank you for providing your file. It's been very useful. Sorry for the slow reply. Adobe in the US shuts down for the 4th of July week, so the Development Team's back from leave today.
We've isolated the cause of this and are working on an update to address it. In your file this bug is triggered by groups that contain HTML Insert objects which are slow to draw. The header on your master page contained multiple groups with HTML embed code objects. I've ungrouped those and that avoids this bug without changing the appearance of your pages. I've sent your file back to you using Adobe Send. You should receive an e-mail notification shortly, if you haven't already.
Now that we are aware of the problem and the cause, we're actively working on an update to address it. In the meantime, if you avoid grouping HTML objects with other objects in Muse you should avoid this bug.
Very sorry for the inconvenience. A huge THANK YOU for sending us your file.

PS CS4 shuts down when opening a new document in Windows Vista 32 bit

It worked fine for many years ... I recently had to do a system restore, start from scratch installing all programs.
Now PS has problems (everything else works fine in CS4 as far as I know).
It opens in the regular screen ....until I open a new photo. The JPEG appears briefly ... then the program shuts down.
I performed the color profile rollback, reinstalled like I was told to by Adobe Support Advisor ... still doesn't work. Extremely frustrating. Since the rollback, it reinstalls "With Errors". ???
I am on Windows Vista 32-bit, 4GB RAM with SP 2 installed. I have been around the web reading comments on forums, nothing is working. To me it seems like a simple fix ... but I just need to know what to do. *I am highly reluctant to go into the reg settings and start editing, like some suggest on these forums. That is just asking for trouble and having to do another painful full system restore.
The suite has worked very well for years ... until now. And just with PS I am having the problems ??? I don't get it. Troubleshooting not my specialty.
Any help would be appreciated.

It seems that this is the good old "I think it's 64bit" error. It tries to install 64bit components on your 32bit system. This specifically comes down to some DLLs on your system being missing or the wrong version, possibly even a hardware driver returning some false info (processor controlelr etc.) I'd check Windows Update and verify the SP2 is installed correctly. Also make sure your MSVC 2008 runtime and possibly .NET 1.1 are isntalled correctly. Verify in your device manager that the CPU is detected correctly and Windows isn't running in some sort of compatibility mode. if there came a specific set of drivers with your motehrboard, installing them alone might fix a lot of things, as then you actualyl may also see Windows Update install some components for the first time that may be missing currently...

Photoshop shuts down when opening an image (PS CS Mac OSX 10.4.11) I'm using Photoshop CS for my Mac

I'm using Photoshop CS for my Mac (OSX 10.4.11) and photoshop suddenly stopped working.
Initially install went real well and it worked for long time great. Suddenly photoshop stopped working and refused to start. When trying to start the photoshop, it loads application first and as it used to open the file I had requested, now it shuts down with error message.
I have tried to reinstall the photoshop with no luck. Always same problem.
Can you help me with this annoying issue?
I purchased this software from Apple store in Century City Loas Angeles, so it should be real deal and no blackmarket stuff.
Cheers,
Juha

Some of my other programs do not even open for me, like pages and keynote, they just do nothing. Pleas help its getting really annoying and I've tried to find out whats the problem but nothing I do is helping.

Welcome to the discussions!
Have you tried creating a new user account and launching the apps there? If they work under the new account, then it is possible that you have a corrupted pref file.
I had this happen on my eMac, but it was when I was a newer Mac user and didn't know much. I ended up reinstalling to OS - which corrected it - but that is a bit drastic.
Let's not do that, but try some other troubleshooting first.

Can't shut down after opening Java Control Panel

Hello,
I'm just a regular guy with Windows ME and since I installed JRE 1.4.2_02 (for Mozilla 1.5), I can't shut down my pc after opening the Java Control Panel. Javaw.exe stays in memory (Norton System Information) even after the JCP has been closed. This was not an issue with 1.4.1 beta which I used for a long time. Then I could open the JCP applet and make adjustments (minor, just whether or not I wanted it to be able to cache applets etc.) then I would close it and nothing interfered with shutdown.
I have even tried Enditall2 and Sysinternals Process Explorer's close and kill functions and neither can close or kill Javaw.exe.
I have very little running in the background and never had shutdown issues until installing JRE 1.4.2_02 and it works fine other than this issue with JCP and shutdown.
Thankyou for any advice.

Gave up, went back to 1.4.1_05, shutdown problem solved.
Disappointed but at least Java works okay and I can adjust things in JCP applet without having to do the three finger salute twice each time. No more Javaw in memory when I close the applet.
Played with Java Web Start's demos, seem to work fine, I guess. Really don't understand what JWS is for, not for us non-programmers?

Illustrator CS3 shuts down every time I try to save my file

Hello,
My Illustrator starting having trouble with saving files about a month ago, but then, if I would wait long enough, eventually it would save the file and I could move on. Now, my Illustrator shuts down, or just tells me there is not enough memory to save the file - and it is not a huge file. even when trying to print from Illustrator now, I have big problems.
I've already had the hard drive on my computer checked and it's in perfect shape. I don't have any other issues in any other program on this computer. Just Illustrator. I uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 today, but made no difference.
Any help or suggestions?

D,
If it has anything to do with preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling will make no difference. If that is the case, you may try to Move the folder.
But before doing that, it may be worth trying to consider whether the file may be corrupt.
Does it happen to other files?
If not, you may move the contents into a new document (tick Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers panel (and untick it when done).
You may try to move everything (from all layers), and if the new document is corrupt, you may start anew and move bits and pieces.
