From: Tannie Date: 15:16 on 12 Nov 2004 Subject: adobe illustrator So, I decided to try out Adobe Illustrator. I downloaded the demo at work and installed. Went fine, no hate there. Downloaded the same demo at home and installed. Doubleclicked and that's when the horror started. It refused to start. It went up to initializing the plugins and to the menu fonts and then I got this message it couldn't start cause damaged and please reinstall. I did. about 8x so far. Even on my external firewire disk. I got the installerfile from work and used that, thinking it was a damaged installer. Didn't help. I deleted everything I could find related to the program (prefs, files etc etc) and reinstalled. Didn't help. I moved my fonts and rebooted. Didn't help. It drives me insane cause why the hell would I buy this program now if the demo doesn't even work. pff -- Tanja ... To err is human, to moo bovine
