Alt-Ctrl-C not working, InDesign CS3, Windows

Hello,
We are currently running Adobe Design Premium CS3 and are having a hard time getting the keyboard shortcut Alt-Ctrl-C to work in InDesign.
I do have the ATI Catalyst control center application running at startup on my Windows Vista PC, however even though I have disabled hot-keys within this application Alt-Ctrl-C still fails in InDesign.
Just in case the ATI application was still intercepting the key press event I tried both changing the hotkey that ATI responds to and closing the application all together. Still InDesign refuses to accept Alt-Ctrl-C
Any ideas?

The solution is to STOP ATI Catalyst from starting up in the startup menu when booting XP.
I had the same problem and it was ATI Catalyst that was the offender. It has a built-in shortcut key of CTRL + ALT + C that is set to open the program and it overrides the one in InDesign.
People have tried to disable the shortcut keys in Catalyst, but in all honesty, you just do not need the thing open until you actually want to use it. It is sitting there are a memory hog.
I solved the problem by going into the Start Menu of XP and taking it right out of there so it doesn't start up at all. This then leaves ID free to use the shortcut of CTRL + ALT + C.
You can also go to the START button, then RUN, then type in MSCONFIG, and select the last tab on the right: Startup. Then disable the ATI Catalyst check box. Close out of everything and do a reboot of your system.
Hope this helps those with the problem.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!

Ctrl+Alt+C Shortcut Problem in Indesign CS3

I cannot use the ctrl+alt+c shortcut in IdCS3. The alt key works with all other shortcuts. I believe this is caused by ATI's catalyst control center which uses the same shortcut to open it's window but I disabled the hotkeys in catalyst and even changed that hotkey to one besides ctrl+alt+c and I can still not get the shortcut to work in Id.
This happened to me about a year ago and I can't remember how I fixed it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I had this problem, Ctrl-Alt-C did not work in Indesign or Photoshop (but CS5.5 & Windows 7).
To fix it:
> right click your desktop background
> select catalyst Control Centre (top of list)
> ‘Options’ at top right pull down menu
(if you can’t see this, choose Advanced install, OK, then go back to step one again)
>Hotkeys > Hot Keys Manager
> select the one thing in the list, then press Edit
> Change from Ctrl+Alt+C to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C
> OK, OK, OK
Hey presto! It’s all working now!

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
Are others having the same problem?
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

[js] CS Scripting not working with CS3

Hello,
We had a JavaScript made for us that enabled the user to exchange certain text within a document.
This script works fine with CS (Ver.3.0.1) but gives a JavaScript Error - #55, Error String: Object does not support the property or method 'findPreferences' with CS3 (Ver.5.0)
I have tried 'tinkering' around with the scripting - but I have zero experience with JavaScript and have not found a solution.
Additionally the people that wrote the initial script are not available.
I have bought several books but they all seem like alien-language to me
Below is the section of origional CS scripting.
Can anyone point out to me WHY this script does not work with CS3?
And WHERE I should start looking - changing?
Thanks in advance for your help and guidence.
Lee
// Exchange the text
function actProjectData(oneDoc, oneResult){
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[0],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myProjectTitleCharStyleNa me)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[1],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferNoCharStyleName)}, undefined);
oneDoc.search(undefined, true, true, oneResult[2],{appliedCharacterStyle:oneDoc.characterStyles.item(myOfferDateCharStyleName) }, undefined);
app.findPreferences = null; app.changePreferences = null;

> Come to think of it, maybe it's easier to create a folder "Version 4.0 Scripts" under your scripts folder and place your CS script in there. Maybe that will do the trick. Should have thought of that earlier.
Tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything... But certainly a 'try' worth.
Currently playing around with the:
> app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "a";
app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = "b";
oneDoc.changeText();
I've got to the point where I have no error messages :-) Now I'm really flying.....
Fact is - not all text and also the wrong text is replaced!!!
I'm currently playing with the script to try and replace
all texts with a given paragraph style with the entered text...
Not proving to be simple for me, but I'm learning rather a lot!
Now that doesn't sound very clear when I go back and read it!
What I want to say is:
Each page of the document has the project name, No & Date on it (each having their own paragraph style)
so
With this script it asks you the Project name, No. and Date and then goes
through the whole document and replaces all instants of those texts with specific paragraph styles with the newly 'entered' text.
Proving to be a little mountain for me - Thought it would only be a hill!

Multitouch on track pad not working when running Windows 8 in boot camp

Does anyone know a work around on how to resolve the issue of more than one fingers on the trackpad? For example, I use one finger to click a window then another finger to slide/move the window to a different location on the screen. This does not work when running Windows 8 in Boot Camp latest version. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

very very few gestures are supported in windows

Magic Trackpad's One Finger "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window?

Magic Trackpad's *One Finger* "Tap to Click" Not Working in Login Window:
All of my iMac's accounts have *One Finger* "Tap to Click" turned on (checked) in System Preferences. However, in the Login Window where the user decides which account to login to, the Magic Trackpad's clicking ability does not work even though moving the arrow does work. How do I turn on the Magic Trackpad's ability to click in the Login Window?

After accidentally pressing down on the Magic Trackpad, I realized the trackpad has tactile feedback, that is, it is a big button that can be pressed down and pop back up like old computer mice. Though this will allow the trackpad to select the account I want to open in the Login Window, it still doesn't explain why "tap to click" isn't working in the Login Window. Nevertheless, my question can be considered as answered.

Save for Web & Devices shortcut Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S not working

Hi
I've a really weird issue I'm running PS CS5 on Windows 7 on Dell XPS 1645 for some reason I'm unable to save for web using 'Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S' clicking the menu item works just fine however. This is driving me nuts any help or advice please??

Some other program has porbably hijacked the key combination.
you could first try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
