Illustrator CS6 - opens in window too small

[Guest]

Anytime I double-click on an Illustrator file to open it, the Illustrator CS6 window opens up too small to view the file. It comes up with an error message that says "Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try again."

If I then click on the box to expand the Illustrator window to full-size, then I can open the file. It's just frustrating that everytime I try to open an AI file by double-clicking on it, I get this error message.

I was having this same issue, but I found a workaround.

When I double-clicked to open an Ai file, the window would suddenly resize-down to the smallest possible window – then give me that there was not enough room in the window to open the file 😐

I noticed however, that I only got this bug when Illustrator was maximized.  When Illustrator didn't occupy the full desktop, then this error did not occur.
