Running CS2 version on XP 1

[bilebalar]

Hi, All.

I am running the Illustrator CS2 version on a XP with 1GB of RAM.

1) Every time I open Illustrator, it gives me the following error 'the operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory'. Click the OK box and the program will continue to load and eventually open.

2)Also when I try to SAVE FOR WEB, it says 'Could not complete this operation. An unknown error had occured' Ok...great... unknown error...

3)When i do export to a BMP format (and some other ones too), I get 'Could not write to the file because there is not enough memory available'.

I closed all my other applications with on the virus scan running in the background. I also increased virtual memory, but still no luck. Also tried reinstalling but the problem is only with illustrator. Photoshop has no problem at all. I did run the update and the program is up-to-date.

What can it be?

Thanks in advance.

Try deleting the AIPrefs file. This fixes a lot of bugs - although Adobe should really fix the file itself
