Illustrator CS2 will open, but cannot use any functions

For some reason I am able to open files in Illustrator, but am unable to undo, or open a new file, or basically use any of the functions in the tool bar. Please help!! I've been trying to troubleshoot this on my own for about 3 hours w/o success!!
Thanks!

Hi Jacob and Harron,
I've tried both deleting the AIprefs file, and moving the entire folder to my desktop and neither worked.
More detail about what I'm experiencing:
I can open Illustrator, but unless I open a document from the intro window I can't do anything else with the tool bar across the top (i.e., the menu buttons that include, file, edit, object, type, select, filter, effect, view, window, and help.) I am also unable to close the program using the "x" button in the upper right hand corner. In order to close Illustrator I have to cntl alt del my way out. Have either of you heard about anything like this before??
I truly appreciate all your help!! I have 3 projects that I can't work on b/c of this issue!! UGH!

  • Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

    After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
    Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

    hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Firefox will open but not load any new tabs or windows after a set amount of time.

    After about a day of my computer running, Firefox will stop being able to browse the web at all. Any attempt to open a new window, tab, or refresh an old tab will result in the program not doing anything, or opening a new window/tab with (Untitled) in it. The window cannot be navigated away from this, and will not refresh. Closing Firefox does not solve the problem, nor does ending the process. The only way to restore Firefox's functionality is to restart my machine.

  • Blackberry curve 9300 connected to wifi but cannot use apps only bb browser

     hi guys im new here and its my first time to use blackberry unfortunately for me im very disappointed.. im already connected to wifi but cannot use any application like facebook,twitter,badoo etc.. i didnt try my bb messanger yet but im sure it wont connect as well.. Even my BB app world giving me error message "we cannot connect you to the app world please ensure that your device is connected to a wireless network and try again" what the???? im already connected to a wifi.. and the weirdest thing is that i can browse the internet using the bb browser and watch videos on youtube on the youtube app installed already to the phone.. but again the apps that i installed is not connected..
    So what i notice the simple rebooting of the phone wont work i need to remove the battery and wait the phone to load then i can connect to app world but after few minutes... it will give the error message again..
    Now im thinking to swap this phone and get another brand if this problem wont be solve whats the use of apps if i cant use it??! i already called my network provider and they told me i need to purchase package for data.. are  you kidding me??! i got wifi why should i pay for data!
    im sorry for the long message but im so disappointed and wants to solve this issue asap  .. thanks..
    my phone software:
    v 6.0 bundle 2475 (v6.0.0.546)

    Hello, 
    thank you for your message and sorry for the problems you have with your BB. 
    Have you checked your Firewall Settings and Application Settings, to make sure, that all apps have access to the internet and are not blocked? Also do you use the phone on BIS or BES, meaning do you use it personally or are you connected to a corporate enterprise server? In the last case, their might be restrictions from your server administrator. 
    I would try to go through all that and see if it works afterwards. Also go and check the application settings to make sure everything is correctly set up there.
    The other thing I would look into is your router. Have you restarted your WiFi router as well? Checked on the Firewall there and everything?  
    As for the datapackage: There are several people here on the forums, complaining, that WiFi does not have priority over mobile data. This means, that if you have a dataplan and activate WiFi, you would still browse using your dataplan and not WiFi, unless you a) either turn off your mobile data connection, which makes you unreachable for calls, sms, etc. or b) if you are a prepaid user, wait until your balance is depleted, in which case the mobile data won't work anymore and you will connect through WiFi.  
    This is however different and should not affect you. Since you do not have a dataplan (at least that is what I understand from your posting), there is no dataplan to use and hence WiFi would have priority for connection with the net, since it is the only available source.  
    I would give it a bet, that it has something to do with your phones settings in any way, or with the router itself (though this is probably unlikely). 
    You can check your firewall settings by doing the following: Browse to your Settings Application or hit Options within any app. Go to advanced settings, check your security settings. You may also want to check your phones WiFi settings, by opening the connections app and open the WiFi configuration. 
    Hope that helps, sincerely, 
    Ben

  • HT4642 I have an older Imac.  It is running OSX 10.6.8.  We have two new Ipads and wish to open and use a spread sheet developed on the Imac.  Currently I can open the Spread Sheet but cannot make any entries. How can I fix that problem?

    I wish to use Spread Sheets developed on my Imac (OSX 10.6.8 with Numbers 08) on my new Ipad Mini.  Currently they will open but I cannot make entries.
    Is there some software I need to download to my Ipad ?
    If I update my Imac Numbers 08 will it still work with existing spread sheets ?
    If I upgrade my OSX 10.6.8 will it impact my files originated under my old OSX and will all my programs work?
    Is there a work aropund that will allow me to use those Spread Sheets on my Ipad ?
    As informative as Apple is with their products, I see little that addresses compatability issues.  Art they non existant ?
    I hate to make any changes unless I know I am not going to be causig a lot of grief!
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    On looking at the secure.log on the iMac with OSX10.6.8, I see these entries at each attempt to scp into the iMac:

    I have CC and bridge, bridge will open but I cannot open a photo file.  I get a message: Windows cannot fint C:............... CS4 ck to see if you have spelled properly. Any Ideals?   I had CS4 but have since removed it.   

    A couple of possibilities:
    How did you remove CS4 ?  If you removed it improperly instead of Uninstalling it (say, you "deleted" it or just dragged it to the Recycling Bin), you almost certainly left stuff behind that needed uninstalling.
    What's even worse, if you removed CS4 after you installed CC you may have messed with the CC installation.
    I'm not going to attempt to tell you how to fix it, since this will probably involve uninstalling CC and after that looking for, downloading the Adobe CS_Cleaner tool and the CC_Cleaner tool, then re-installing CC, since I'm not a Windows user and don't want to mislead you.
    In any case, when Windows users chime in to assist you, they'll need all the details which you have not provided so far.

    Hi
    I actually dont think its Lion (sorry i put that as couldn't remember) as not on that computer at the moment, its at home, I am at work. I know CS2 is compatable with whatever OS I am using because I can using CS2 indesign etc and I was able to use CS2 photoshop until I updated the Camino browser (I believe this is when it stopped working). I have CS5 but it wont work at all on my Powerbook G4.
    I can send a message later with the OS I am using and maybe you can suggest other help? They told me in the MAC shop to try and get the installation discs. They also said I would be able to get these via Apple's 'media replacement programme' which I cannot find anyway! To be honest, I am not even sure getting the install discs will work but I'll try whatever I need to try and get Photoshop working on it again!
    Thanks

  • Purchased Teacher and Student edition, but with the trial expired, I cannot use any products?

    I bought the Teacher and Student edition (one year plan, prepaid), but after the trial expired, I cannot use any products. It asks for a serial number, which to the best of my knowledge, I never received. Is there something I missed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Trimatirate you will need to locate the serial number you received with your license to use the software for a year.  If it is registered then it will be available under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find additional details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

    Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple  clips into my movie/project when it happened.  It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

    Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot

  • HT204368 My iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.

    My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.  It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps.  Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.

    From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

    I loaded Elements 10 onto my new computer but cannot use photo email.  I get a message saying "unable to complete"  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
    Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.
