Hi everybody
I cannot open new projects or open old projects; and it keeps saying "crash report for illustrator". How can I solve this problem? I tried loading all the other illustrators but all of them are like that.
Thank you

This happens only when you open a file or create a new file? Illustrator doesn't just crash when starting?

 

Is a printer connected, set up as default printer and turned on? If not: set up a PDF printer.

  • Check for Illustrator error in Event Viewer logs. Press Windows+R to open the Run dialog, enter eventvwr (or eventvwr.msc) and hit OK. 
    Go to Windows Logs > Application and check if you any error related to Illustrator
