Error 12003 on launch and how can I contact Adobe support?

New Here ,

My illustrator app is crashing on the launch, showing error 12003 

"that it's likely on Adobe side and bla bla bla" 

how do I fix this issue and how can contact Adobe support? 
I tried to go through live chat and request to speak with agent, I get a response "our agents available at open hours" and that's it. No matter if I contact them during working hours or not.

This is the error database:

Your error number is not in it. Are you sure it's not a typo?

 

@Anubhav M can you help?

Yep.. that's why I'm so puzzled and can't even get through to the support agent in the chat today... 

this is what I get every time I'm trying to open illustrator and it's crashing, giving me this message

Also having this issue. Using an old macbook I haven't opened in awhile and can't get illustrator to stay open for more than a second before getting this error.

Did you already reset the preferences of Illustrator?
