If the software is obsolete or missing some files, you may get the error.  A lot of apps running – If your computer has a significant number of apps running, it could interfere with the smooth working of the app. Try to close unnecessary apps or settings.  System requirements not met – If your computer doesn’t meet the system requirements needed to run Illustrator, then you might face this issue.  Corrupt files – If the file you want to preview is corrupt, then you might see this issue.
