I recently downloaded Flash Professional CC to a Windows 7 computer. It functions extremely poorly: most dialog boxes don't work and many of them cause the program to freeze, so it can only be closed with Task Manager.
I called Adobe Tech Support. They emailed me a this link:
However, that link only refers to Flash CS6 and older versions.
I have some related questions:
1 - Is there a version of that link that includes Flash CC? If there is I can't find it by searching.
2 - I went ahead and tried one method the link gave for deleting preferences. It said to hold down CTL + ALT + SHIFT while launching Flash CC. Here's a quote from the link:
Re-create the preferences file
Note: You can skip the following steps if you do not want to save your old preferences. You can start the application while holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift to delete and reset the preferences to the default.
I tried to follow this advice this in 2 ways:
A - I held down CTL + ALT + SHIFT while clicking on the Flash CC icon in my status bar. The icon froze and nothing launched. I rebooted.
B - I held down CTL + ALT + SHIFT while double-clicking on the Flash CC shortcut on my desktop. It caused this window to open; it looks like a generic Windows 7 properties window, and I don't see anyway to "delete and reset the preferences to the default" as Adobe instructs.
Does anyone know how to delete Flash CC preferences?
