Latest version of ILLUSTRATOR will not open How do I download previous version
I can't get latest version of Illustrator 2019 to open up and function. I keep getting this: "There is not enough memory to ... appearance of an object".
I had nothing but problems with the latest upgrade when I installed it back in Jan. I got same dialogue (appearance of object) So I reinstalled the previous or older version and it worked fine. A month ago I installed new version with more bells and whistles and now nothing but crashes. Unfortunately I uninstalled older version so it's not on computer. How do I reinstall it?

Illustrator crashes (hangs) when creating a new file on second monitor
When creating a new file in Illustrator on my second monitor, the program hangs, and I have to force quit it.
If I try to do the exact same operation on my main monitor, it works as expected.
Pretty straight-forward operation to get to the problem, but if you need any further info, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Double-click open ai file results in error but dragging in works
When in Windows Explorer I double-click to open the ai file but results in error: "Illustrator can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window..."
However when I drag and drop the file into Illustrator it opens no problem.
This error started happening in the last few days.
Please advise.

.ai Files Auto-opening in After Effects
Ran an update yesterday and, since then, all native < .ai > files are auto-opening in After Effects. This occurs whether I launch from Bridge or Finder; double-clicking to open a native Illustrator file is now launching directly in to AE. I have checked each file to make sure that Illustrator is the default --- it is.

Illustrator won't open and I have to force quit every day 8 t0 10 times
Illustrator won't open- I have to force quit 7 - 10 times before it works. Then when it does , it stops working randomly . I waste hours every day fighting it. Wish I had never upgraded. Seriously looking for another program. I expect more than this from Adobe.

Can't open any files.
Illustrator won't open any files at all. Every time I try to open one (doesn't matter what file type) it causes the program to turn unresponsive.

Can't open files from Microsoft Outlook or any other outside source!
Can't open a file by double clicking on it from an attachment in an email or from explorer or from my desktop etc! Only way round it is to do File > Open when Illustrator which is a reeeeeally slow way of working when you're dealing with multiple files! Pleeeeeeeeeeease fix this :)

Illustrator v23.01 will not open subsequent vector files via Indesign, Bridge or directly from a folder.
When I try to "Edit with" in InDesign or open a vector file via Bridge or directly from the folder, it opens the file for the first time on launching the software, however if I try to open files again while Illustrator is up and running, it will not open. I then have to quit Illustrator to open the file. This is counter productive as I have to do this even when i have to make a small edit or move/delete an object. Especially when I'm working on multiple graphs, etc.
My fix for now is to revert back to…

Illustrator crashes as one file opens.
Opening a file I have been working on, Illustrator crashes just when the window appears after the loading bar disappears. As far as I know, this only happens with this particular file. I can open another file which is much larger.
This is pretty much a disaster for me.
I've tried restarting, and closing all other programs. AI still crashes in the same way.

Illustrator keeps crashing when opening files or when creating a new file.
Like the title says, Illustrator crashes no matter what I do when opening files or when creating a new file. Nothing seems to fix it, a fresh install did nothing as well. Any ideas? got important projects I need to work on =_=.

Can No Longer Open PDF's directly to ILLUSTRATOR
I just updated to Illustrator 2019 and I can no longer open a PDF into it from Bridge. Even if they were created in Illustrator. Some will open, but I have to close any other projects within Illustrator for them to open at all.
