My illustrator crashed on me and now it doesn't even open. PSand the rest of apps work fine, but I don;t know what is wrong with it.
Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this or what is wrong? Thanks

Sorry, I have no idea what's going on with your stuff.
- flashbender0
that is weird. I'll ask the first question that all help desk people ask - "have you shut down and restarted?"
- Dust_Mine0
restart the thing! Quick

see if you get any errors reported in console

have you restarted your machine and they still won't launch?
are you using a font manager of some sort?
have you tried deleting prefs from user/Library/Preferences/ ?

Illistrator CS3 has been fucking up for me.
Agree with flashbender - restart if you haven't. If it's still messed just reinstall it and see if that works. Sometimes there is a corrupt file that kills it.

Hit shift when you start it...

Illustrator CS3 hasn't given me any problems, thankfully. InDesign was really yanking my chain a couple of months ago, though.

Should I delete all those files in preferences?

Thanks guys! It works now!

cool, glad it works. i was going to mention clearing font caches, sometimes that prevents apps from launching. i think font agent might have something that does that built in? otherwise, starting up while holding shift should do the trick, or an app like font finagler.

This is what we do.

haha, now, let's get back to porn and hedge threads...
