I can't launch Illustrator CS6 (just upgraded from 5.5). When I click the icon I get a dialogue box error message over the launch graphic, saying - "Unable to set maximum number of files to be opened". When I click OK the program closes. Anyone know what needs resolved here? I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but it still does this.

Did it work previously? Do you receive any error messages when trying to install?

Just an update, after checking out the other discussion and some of the solutions -
I was also having problems with Office (yuck!) applications crashing on start-up. I added a new user admin account and that solved the problem with those ones. So I then tried Illustrator under the new user log-in and it opens fine! I noticed that this was one of the suggested solutions, so good advice.
Still get the same error message under my other log-in, and can't see what it is in that profile that is causing the problem, but I'm happier now. Got my Illustrator back!
