Just like the problem in Illustrator CS6 ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/5288811#5288811 )
Launching Illustator CC and then creating a new file (pressing command > N) causes the application to not respond and gives me a beachball. No new document dialog appears, it just freezes right away.
Force quitting, and then trying to launch illustrator by opening an already-created file causes an immediate freeze.
If I manually delete
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator 17 Settings/en_US/plugincache.bin
my next launch is fine, but all subsequent launches will have the same issues - so I'll have to manually delete it bin file every time.
I've run the cleaner tool, i've installed a fresh copy of CC.
It seems reasonable to infer that there may be an issue with a particular plugin, but as it's a fresh install there aren't any 3rd party plugins that I'm aware of. Any help would be tremendously appreaciated!
