Preferences dialog box has stopped working

I use CS3, and recently the preferences dialogue box has stopped working. When I go to Edition-Preferences and click anyone of all that happens is that the title bar disappears and the program freezes, the dialog box does not at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program Illustrator, but the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution?

Depending on what platform you ar on you can try this

1. quit Illustrator.
2. rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) user / AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings(user)folder.
3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

1. quit Illustrator.
2. go to user/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and parameters, the entire record of the trash not only the contents of the folder...
3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  • Bookmark dialog box has stopped from appearing when a bookmark is selected

    Firefox 3.6.12 ceased to display the Bookmark dialog box when a URL location is selected for storage. Since the Bookmark dialog box stopped appearing, all favorites are in the recent favorite section, and no other place.

    This is different from how it worked before. Only 1-program, Google Earth 6, which also installed Chrome, has been updated since the Firefox bookmark dialog box appears allowing the user to select the destination for the folder as the location of the binding registration.

    This problem may be caused by McAfee SiteAdvisor.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).
