Creative Suite 2-InDesign serious errors

I've installed a fresh new copy of CS2, and InDesign will not launch. Well, it will launch once in awhile, but crashes when I create or try to save a file. The various error messages are: Code 3; "Cannot add data to defaults, defaults is damaged."; "A serious error was detected." "Could not complete request because of a database error." "Restart InDesign" doesn't help.
Everything else in CS2 works fine, other that the occasional unexplained shut down that seems to be an Adobe special feature, regardless of application.
My system and fonts are clean, all other software runs fine (MSOffice, QXP, Studio8, etc). All the usual troubleshooting, preference trashing and maintenance rituals have been performed. Of course, I've also followed the exhaustive procedure for deleting everything and reinstalling the entire CS. Twice.
Hours spent with Adobe techs on the phone have proven useless. They tell me it's a problem with my system. Funny, my only problem is w/ InDesign... I've always worked in Quark, just got my first request for an InDesign project, and this is not encouraging.
Any suggestions? I quail at spending days more in Adobe's voicemail syst

I'm having the same problem. Please post solution if you find one. We erased the HD, zeroed everything, reinstalled, just CS2 and still no luck. "Serious error...Shuting down"

    Creative Suite 6, InDesign saying Library is corrupt. How do I restore?

    You will have to connect ot iTunes in order to reinstall iOS 6.1. Or you can try using the iPhone settings. Tab Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings which should force the phone into recovery mode and begin a download of iOS. You will need a solid WiFi connection, and I suggest you keep the phone connected to the AC charger.

    Often you have to start by using the Adobe Cleaner tool first to remove all the Adobe applications:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then do your reinstallation.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 broken/errors

    Does Adobe customer support have a mail address I can contact?
    I've been waiting for a whole day to get access to the chat but it is always busy, and I do not know where else I can get help?
    I am also having big problems navigating on this site as everything is a mixture of italian and english. Even though I am Norwegian! I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum - I don't know where else to post this.
    The problem is; I purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard, but the cd doesn't work and I'd like to have it replaced. I kept getting errors and after having a programmer-friend take a look at it he concluded that the cd most likely was broken. We managed (after a lot of time and efforts) to copy the files of the cd to my harddrive, and even fix the files that were broken in the process. But it is not possible to install the suite from the cd, neither on other computers.
    Who can I contact to get it replaced?

    SankSte http://www.adobe.com/no/support/contact/ should give you the available contact options for support in Norway.  You also can speak with customer service as opposed to technical support if you just need to order replacement media.

  • InDesign Serious Error, Crashing

    I was working on an InDesign file and the program suddenly shut down. When I attempted to reopen, it immediately crashed and gave me the message that a serious error has occurred. I have tried deleting preferences from my Library, made sure I'm using the most updated version, that my OS is updated, but I'm stuck. It's now 2:40 and I'm working on a proposal that's due by the end of the business day. HELP!!!  Oh, I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks on a MacBook Pro Retina Display.

    Empty the InDesign Recovery folder and you'll be able to restart ID, though your file may be toast at this point.
    The folder is hidden in Mavericks, so see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later if you don't know how to look in your user library.

  • How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Inf

    How do I fix Creative Suite CS2 reinstall on same Windows 7 Pro machine, with error message "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information / Missing Resources Library" when I attempt to reinstall from installation disk set? Was having trouble with Adobe Acrobat Pro 8; Uninstalled and am now stuck. You can email me if you like at [email protected] Thank you.

    Hi Bill:
         I don't remember deactivating (after my XP PRO harddrive scattered)
    when I did the first Windows 7 pro install of these programs and it went
    fairly well except AA8 was a little problematic when converting from MS
    Word.
         In my case the AA8 came with a Studio 8 suite of programs as follows:
         1) A Studio 8 installation disk
         2) A Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks.
         3) A Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8
         I uninstalled AA8 and when I tried reinstallation the directions
    said to do the Creative Suite CS2 Premium set of installation disks
    first followed by the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium upgrade disk with AA8.
    Now I'm stuck; What a mess.
         Thanks for trying to help.
         I will do as you suggest and go to

  • I restored from a Time Machine back up and now my Creative Suite 4 gives me error 150:30

    I have the same problem when I migrated CS4 to a new Retina MacBook Pro from a Time Machine drive. I get Error: 150:30 when I try to launch Photoshop CS4. The License Recovery Tool does not seem to work with Mountain Lion. I cannot reinstall the software from disc unfortunately. That was too many moves ago and the discs are no longer available. I don't even think the installers will run with the current OS.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    All the best,
    Tom

    I have branched this off to a separate discussion.
    TomWolsky in general it is best if you install the applications instead of restoring them from Time Machine or using the Migration assistant to copy them from one computer to another.  You can try the steps listed at Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html.  This may allow you to resolve this difficulty.
    If it doesn't I would recommend formatting and only restoring your documents and settings from the Time Machine back up.  You can download a fresh copy of your installation files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html. 
    You can also find the serial number if it is registered to your account by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW.

  • Creative Suite CS2 InDesign Freeze Up During PDF Export

    Help anyone?
    Why does my InDesign CS2 sometimes freeze up when I am trying to export to a pdf? I then have to do a 'Force Quit' and retry.
    When I am trying to make a pdf in InDesign, I select >File >Export and export to pdf with 'press high res' setting and then it just
    'spools' and freezes. I may have to restart my computer a couple times and then it exports fine into a pdf.
    I am on a Mac Pro, Intel Xeon, 2.66GHz, 512 MB memory, Hard drive: 700 GB.
    What's the solution?

    More RAM, more RAM, more RAM. It's necessary to have a minimum of 2 GB to get anything done with the more recent versions of OSX.

  • Creative Suite 4 InDesign

    I am new with InDesign4 - Can anyone tell me how to delete columns on one page of two facing pages?

    If you set up the file as multiple columns to start, you should go to Layout > Margins and Columns... to make the change. If you want it to chanfge on all pages, do it with the master page selected, or create a new  master to use for more than one, but not all, pages.
    If the problem is the text frame itself, select the frame and open the the text frame options or find the columns field on the control panel.

  • Creative Suite CS5.5 applications will no longer initialise

    I have been using Adobe Creative Suite (Design Standard) CS5.5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard via monthly subscription since last August with no problems. On Saturday I was working on a project using InDesign and PhotoShop, then on Sunday morning I tried to start work again but found that non of the Creative Suite applications (InDesign, PhotoShop and Illustrator) will launch. All freeze soon after the "Initialising" splash screen appears. These screens (together with the watch time symbol) remain like that until I force quit them.  Bridge and Acrobat still work, as do all other applications.   I have no idea how to solve this problem and can't understand what has caused it.
    Adobe Support have been completely unhelpful and have left me completely in the lurch.
    If anybody can offer any advice, I would be extremely grateful!  I have a big deadline coming up so urgently need to fix this!
