Can no longer get Illustrator CS2 to launch : Adobe illustrator

This is a discussion on Can no longer get Illustrator CS2 to launch within the Adobe illustrator forums in Adobe Tools category; I was having problems launching programs in CS2, like In Design, Photoshop and Illustrator. So I reinstalled from the CDs, but I did not remove the old install first. Now all the applications run fine except for Illustrator. When I try to lunch it, the Splash screen comes up, it goes through the usual start up routine,it looks like its going to launch, then the splash screen goes away, but the Illustrator program does not launch. Do I need to completely remove the entire suite, then reinstall....
