Windows 7 and Illustrator 10

I so love my Illustrator 10 version and I have recently upgrade
operating systems to Win 7. Illustrator 10 doesn't seem to want to work. Is it me or are they incompatible?
thanks!!

The latter. It may be possible to run AI in the XP VM, but otehrwise pretty much anything pre CS3 is incompatible with Win7.

Time Zone/Daylight Savings Conflict between Windows 7 and Illustrator CS6

When Daylight Savings did its change this spring I started having problems saving files in Illustrator. I will go to save files, mainly .eps format, and it crashes Illustrator. I have changed my time zone to a zone that has not switched yet due to Daylight savings, and it works. Unfortunately as I find a new time zone, it also ends up hitting Daylight Savings, and I am back to square one. I have been searching both the Adobe site and the Windows site to find an answer to my problem, but am having no luck.
My proper time zone is
(UTC-07:00) Mountain Time (US & Canada)
I have even tried using Saskatchewan as they do not follow Daylight Savings, but it also creates crashes. I have tried many other time zones, the two that have worked so far are
(UTC-06:00) Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey (worked for a little while but a time change a few weeks later messed it up)
(UTC) Casablanca (working on this time zone now, but an alert on my computer says time change coming up on the 28th)
Does anyone know if there is a fix to this problem? I feel like I am running out of time, as I am not sure how many more time zones will work.

I have finally found the solution!!! My account is set up as an Administrator, yet for some reason Illustrator was not opening with Adminsitrator permissions. I have to go into my startup menu, right click on Illustrator, and open as an administrator. Suddenly, everything works faster, smoother, and properly! I don't understand the reason behind this, but at least it is working proper now.

Changed my windows to windows 7 professional and illustrator 8.0 won't setup

What do I have to do to get my laptop to setup my illustrator 8.0 since I changed to windows 7 professional? It says it can't set it up.

Jimmy,
You should be able to install and run AI8 in Windows 7 professional (and 8,1 for that matter).
You will probably need to run the computer in XP mode to install. Here is how:
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
To run AI8, you should be able to just run the computer normally and to specify that AI8 is to run in (XP) Compatibility maode, as follows:
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
Otherwise, search for Compatibility in the Windows Help and follow the instructions there.

Windows 8.1 and Illustrator CC 2014- performance computer

so i've exhausted myself searching...i actually think this will be the first time i've ever had to ask a question on the forums for ANY adobe product...i generally can find an answer; it's also generally my fault! slow movement of objects in illustrator due to high point count.
Issue:
i'm having issues with files that have a high number of points. i cannot use simplify as there is a lot of text involved in these files and as these are baked onto white china every imperfection in the artwork is quite noticable. i can't find where the problem and/or bottleneck is, i've tried running hwinfo side by side with illustrator and see if anything gets maxed out when i try to move an object but nothing ramps up very high. file size for the file i'm working on at the very moment is 8mb, but it has roughly 150k points. any options? settings? adjustments?
computer specs:
gigabyte z68xp-ud3
i5-2500k (runs @ 4ghz, 4.5ghz, and stock with turbo. tried all 3 just to make sure)
16gb RAM
EVGA GTX 780 Classified
crucial m500- 468gb ssd
two 2tb seaggates and a 64gb cache ssd
what i've tried:
think this was a mac suggestion but i double checked that i have verdana and tahoma..pretty positive those are standard windows fonts
turned off gpu features
i could not find a single article similar to my issue

Did you figure this out?
If not, have a look at your cores... see if Illustrator is only using one. I think it's badly "optimised" as I see many different things only using one core and causing delays in OS and Illustrator.

I have Windows 7, and I am being told that it does not support the newest Ai Illustrator, Are there any other alternate routes I can take to get adobe illustrator and photoshop on my computer? Perhaps an earlier version? Thanks! ~

<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

Window XP 64 bit (SP2) and Illustrator CS5?

Will Illustrator CS5 run on a 64 bit OS (windows) generally and does anybody know if it will run on Window XP 64 bit (SP2)? I tryied to find SP3 for Windows XP 64 bit as I think CS5 needs SP3 but haven't found anything.
Has anybody any knowledge or experience there?
Thanks
Ina

Hi ,
New on the block, need some input concerning Win7 64Bit; Just got a new Asus G73SW-BST8 with the sole purpose of making it a work
station to do my graphic design work, I've been combing the web looking for an answer to "will AI CS5 run on my new Asus laptop", my employer has
supplied me with new software, Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator CS5 so I can finish projects at home on weekends or snow days or if i am home sick.
Adobe was very clear about Phot CS5 working on the 64Bit OS, but very little info or hard to find concerning Illust. CS5.
Any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, Pancho.

Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

Hi Swampxiix,
How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

Trouble installing InDesign and Illustrator on Windows 8

Hi,
I cannot install almost any of my previoulsy purchased Master Suite 5 Collection on my new Windows 8 computer. The programs installed fine on my old computer which had Vista.
Here is the log that I am getting when trying to install InDesign but I am getting pretty much the same log with any other program other than Photoshop:

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!
// Rikard

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.

Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

Hey everyone!
I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
My system details are:
Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
RAM: 2GB
HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

Color Separations in InDesign and Illustrator

I am trying to print spot color separations. In both InDesign and Illustrator the "separations" is gray. I can only print RGB and grayscale.
My colors are set up as spot. I even tried to print from Acrobat and "separations" is gray there also. Do I need to re-install my drivers or the programs.
I am trying to print to postscript printers but neither one lets me select separations.
I am using CS3
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Intel(R) Core (TM)2CPU
6600 @ 2.40 GHz
2.93 GB RAM
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cindy

I’m not familiar with those models. Are the PostSCript compatible? If so, then you should get the most recent drivers from the manufacturers’ websites. It’s been ages since I needed to worry about printer drivers in Windows, but maybe you need a PostScript printer utility or printer driver from Adobe, too.

Download appears corrupt - installing to Windows XP and Windows 7 Pro 64bit

I have tried to install Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign onto 1 Windows XP computer and 2 Windows 7 computers and in every instance I have received the message "download appears corrupt. U43M1D207 error. I have combed the FAQ's and a lot of other mostly MAC users are receiving the same errors.
I have downloaded the Creative Suite cleaner and have used it multiple times on all the computers with the same failure over and over again.
I have also gone to Adobe Downloads and ran the patched Adobe Application Manager and still no luck.
In one FAQ a tech tells people to go to the trial versions and download those and then sign in and the subscription will appear. On 3 of the computers this worked, but on the third computer I started today, the subscription box never showed up even though I logged on with the employee's cloud subscription ID. I downloaded three of the applications only to have to go back and un-install the applications because it asked to either run in trial or supply a serial number.
On my fourth computer running Windows XP I downloaded Photoshop extended just fine and Illustrator, but there's no selection for InDesign, so I can't download it.
Last night I sat on a chat session for 30 minutes only to find out that there were no tech's on duty only customer support and she said that I would need to call in on Mon-Fri. I can't wait until Mon-Fri as I need to do this off hours.
I'm at the end of my rope with aggravation and I have 7 more computers to go and they are scattered around the USA.
If anyone has any idea what may fix my dilemma I would surely appreciate it! Thank you in advance.
Update: After getting away from the problem for awhile, I decided to clear the cache on both problem computers, run CCleaner and reboot. I then went back to the Trial Download page and everything worked perfectly. I could see InDesign on the Windows XP computer and on the Windows 7 computer the subscription box appeared. I had my answer and everything appears to work properly now.
I still don't understand why downloading from the Cloud site doesn't work especially since many of the problems I have been reading about in other threads were started back in May, 2012.
Also I don't understand why when so many techs like myself have to work after hours and on weekends there are no Adobe techs on the chat line. My company spent a lot of money on the new subscription and will continue to do so in the future and all I can find is work arounds instead of the Cloud download site actually being repaired.

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

Photoshop and Illustrator sometimes hang when working together (CS 5.5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5 and sometimes, when I have Photoshop and Illustrator opened together, if I try to open something a little more complex (but not to heavy), one of the programs hang or freeze.
This is a Windows 7 (64bits) Service Pack 1 environment, on a HP Workstation 2.67Ghz Quad with 8GB of RAM, using a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800. At a first glance - and regarding the files usage - it doesn't seem to have a reason to happen.
I've updated the program versions and let Photoshop use more than 60% of the available RAM. When this happens, 50% of the physical RAM is available.
Besides having these two apps running, I have Outlook 2010, Linotype Font Explorer Pro and some LAN policies active.
Does anyone had a similar problem that could kindly help?
Many thanks,
Tiago

What does Windows Event Viewer say about the matter? if it is as arbitrary as you say, then it's most likely network issues or graphics issues. In the latter case simply install a suitable driver and configure it properly, in case of network issues (to which in particular Ilklustrator is extremely sensitive), store the files on a local harddrive.
