Windows Registry error when starting Illustrator.

Question

I have CS5.5 Master Collection. because of the following problem, I downloaded, last week, all the updates via the website. So Illustrator is now v15.1.0
After the update I get an error every time I start Illustrator that says:
Adobe Illustrator
[Warning icon] Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in
the windows registry which needs to be
corrected for Illustrator to work properly.
Would you like Illustrator to correct the
problem now?
[Yes][No]
I always click 'yes'. This is persistent since updating to v15.1.0 as it happens every time I start Illustrator. It doesn't seem to happen in any other app mof the Master Suite Collection, although I haven't started EVERY app yet.
After clicking yes, Illustrator runs (seemingly) normally.
There is no Error number indicated.

Answer 1

Are you getting the error “Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in the windows registry which needs to be corrected to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now”? If you are it is because Adobe’s update software did a number on some settings.
The only way I have found to get rid of that error message “Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem in the windows registry which needs to be corrected to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?” is to:
Close all CS5 applications
Right click shortcut to Adobe Illustrator Cs5
Tell it to run as Administrator.
This will give enough permissions for Adobe to fix the registry items that it corrupted in the first place!
