#1 martz Members 3 posts OFFLINE Local time:05:17 PM Posted 28 November 2008 - 01:51 PM Hello, I hope somebody has a solution for this problem.I remember that this problem is been usual in Adobe Illustrator since version 10, but I have not find the right solution other than small remedies and not deep solutions.I've just been recommended to visit this site since I got help in www.spywarewarrior.com getting rid of any possible malware or virus that could be interfering with the removal or installation process of the Illustrator CS2 software. So far my computer looks and feels cleaner than ever.

The easy solution was to unchek the Create PDF file compatibility option when saving, or printing the file as ADOBE PDF instead of saving.That was a solution, but I don´t like superficial solutions. So I tried to remove it a couple of times from the ADD or REMOVE SOFTWARE from WINDOWS and while preparing to UNINSTALL the InstallShield Wizard freezes at around the 80 %. I restarted the computer every time in between when at last I could removed it successfully.
