  • Illustrator crashes when you try to open the preferences window

    I have CS5 on windows 7. When I try to open the illustrator of window preferably hangs and does not open it. I can hit escape and it will go back to work very well. I tried to leave thinking maybe it was a strange problem loading, but nothing changes. Other that that everything works perfectly well just refuses to open the preference window. I tried searching but I can't find anyone else with this issue, I hope I do not have to reinstall but it's starting to look like, maybe it's my only option.

    crutchlets,

    You should consider at least two approaches.

    We need to dramatically increase the resolution of the monitor to see if he's hiding somewhere there, in which case you can drag to the area with other things, then cut again and clean up the mess.

    (Another is to try the relevant measures in the following list (1-4) and 6) as the last resort).

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

  • Firefox 36.0.1 on a Mac running Yosemite 10.10.2 crashes when you try to open the Add-ons Manager

    I am running Firefox 36.0.1 on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2. Firefox works fine except that it freezes and I have to force quit the application whenever I try to choose modules in the Tools menu. I've never had this problem before. This problem happened for three consecutive days with my iMac rebooted several times. The same problem occurs when you try to access the modules from the open menu icon. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you!

    If you put this in the url bar: subject: addons
    This also happens? If this isn't the case, add the back icon and remove it to reset.

    It also happens in Mode safe?

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.
