Question

I uninstalled illustrator because it was freezing my computer forcing me to do a forced restart and losing all the information I had opened. I reinstalled it and I didn't know have issues for a while but now it is doing it again. I previously asked for help here and nothing they posted was useful to solve my problem. I don't know what to do my computer and internet are super fast! It is only illustrator the software that is giving me headaches! Help please! Thanks!

So you already reinstalled it using the Cleaner tool?

How large are your documents?

What's in your documents?

Did you run the Cleaner tool between uninstall and reinstall? https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

 

Can you please tell us your hardware specifications?
