  I can’t do anything without a message coming up to revert.

  While in Illustrator, as soon as I click on anything, a message keeps coming up to REVERT to saved version. When I click on cancel, it keeps coming back and won’t go away until I click on revert, then all my work gets lost. Is there any way to fix this problem?

  Is this happening in one file or all files?

  If it is only one file that is causing the problem, try copying the contents into a new file and continue using the new one.

  If it is all files, try deleting the AIPrefs (Adobe Illustrator Prefs on Mac) file by closing Illustrator and going to:

  On Windows – Documents and Settings > User >Application Data > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS* Settings (or your version of Illustrator).

  You will need to show hidden files in order to see the Application Data folder.

  On Mac – Open the Finder and then go to Go > Home > Preferences > Adobe Illustrator CS* settings (or your version of Illustrator).

  Once you have deleted it, restart Illustrator and see if it happens again.
