How do I stop InDesign hanging every time it becomes the active window?

I am running CS5 Web and Design Premium on a Win 7 laptop. Every time InDesign takes focus there is a delay of around 10 seconds before the window becomes active and I can do anything. I don't have this problem on any other component.
CS5 was installed on this laptop in the past (working perfectly), then deactivated and uninstalled so the laptop could be used by someone else. The laptop then came back to me, so I reinstalled CS5 and InDesign has been having this problem ever since.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, and have reset the preferences, with no effect.
It's driving me mad, does anyone have any idea as to how I can solve this please?

Go to Help>Updates and make sure you have the latest updates installed.
Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling the conventional way won't do much to help.

  • How do I stop iTunes opening every time I switch on my computer?

    Hi,
    Just recently, iTunes has started to open every time I switch on my computer.  Does anyone know how to stop this?
    Thanks

    What is your MacOS version?
    Check the login items in the system Preferences "User & Groups". If you find iTunes there, select it and remove it by pressing the "-" button.

  • How can I stop getting emails every time I sign in with my ID?

    I'm getting an email every time I sign in or out of my apple ID. I do not like extra emails in my inbox. Where is the button to stop the emails?

    It is a new security feature after the iCloud was compromised for some people. If you are getting this when logging into the Find My iPhone app on the phone, then if you do not log out and set a passcode on the phone, you should not receive this again. As far as I know, and I've not tested this because I do not receive the emails is when you log in on the computer, most people report that if you log in on the same computer again, it will not generate an email. Seems like it might put a cookie on the computer to recognize that you have logged in with that computer before.

  • How do you stop popups.  Every time I open a window in Safari another window opens up

    I have iOS 10.10.2, 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 memory. 
    Just recently, every time I open a window in Safari, another window opens up with advertisements.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Iphone 4S newly updated to iOS8, keeps popping up window notifying me of things I turned off (cell usage, location, etc) to preserve battery life.  Is there any way to make them stop telling me every time I use the affected apps?

    I have finally taken the step of updating my iPhone 4S to iOS8 after learning the hard way last update to wait for the bugs to be worked out.  I was horrified to find that the battery was being sucked dry in no time at all.  After finding a great article posted elsewhere on the apple forums, I went through and turned off all unnecessary options involving the use of cell data, location services and background refreshing.  My battery life has thankfully returned to what it was before the update.  
    HOWEVER, now, every time I open an app for which I turned these things off, the window informing me of that pops up.   I am getting really irritated by this as I made all of these decisions deliberately and am well aware that I may need to go back and change them in order to activate certain capabilities when I want to use them.  I had done the same thing with the last iOS, but there were far fewer that needed to be turned off and the battery life seemed to be less affected by those that I left on so it was not the annoyance it has become now.
    Is there any way to make the phone stop presenting me with these idiot messages?   TIA

    Sorry no, there isn't a way to turn off those reminders.

  • How do I stop pop ups every time I click a link

    Im using safari 6.1.6 and OS X 10.8.5 and whenever I click on legitimate websites I get pop ups. This could have been cause by mistakenly downloading something I shouldn't have. Im not sure if its related but now when I try and do a google search I get a list of google adds before my results with a yellow box saying 'ad' this didn't happen yesterday. Does anyone know what needs to be done to stop all this? Im a basic user and with little knowledge of the system.

    Go step by step and test.
    1. If adware is installed without your knowledge,
        download AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
        http://www.adwaremedic.com
       Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
       Once done scanning and removing the adware, quit the app by clicking AdMedic in the menubar
        and selecting “Quit AdwareMedic”.
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
        Turn those off and try Safari.
    3. Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:

  • How come every time I open the 4.0 Firefox browser it always does a add on capatibilty check? How do I stop this?

    Since upgrading to 4.0 every time I open my browser it keeps doing an add on compatibility check. How do I stop this? Every time it does a check it gets rid of my bookmarks and I have to reload them again, and it also takes me to the Firefox welcome page. How do I stop this as it's a pain in the neck. I hate 4.0 I'm going back to my last Firefox browser as I had very little trouble with it.

    Make sure that you do not use the same profile with different Firefox versions.

  • Tempo service hangs every time I start laptop

    Hi I have a Satellite L350 - 17P and every day it starts up it locks up. It works for about a minute then freezes. On starting it up the 2nd time it works perfectly. Any one have any ideas how to stop this pc doing this? It's a few years old now and I was not told it did this by my son until I used it one day!
    Tempo service hangs every time I start the computer.
    I have done a search for Version.txt and minidump.mdmp but can't find them.
    Can anybody help?

    Well it hung again even after uninstalling and installing tempro.
    I decided to unistall it completely as hoped this would stop it freezing up but it didn't.
    Today it froze as per usual but when I checked the problem reporting there was not a report nor did it give me any information as to why it froze again today.
    Totally at a loss as to why this is happening, and how can it be fixed if there is no reason given for it freezing???

  • Using InDesign CC on Windows 7 Ultimate.  Every time I hit the text tool button the program crashes

    I have received the same solution as you gave above, from the tech team, but cant find the correct file to add the "CopyPlugins.vbs script." to....I get an error message telling me to try again and chose the file adobe indesign CC, and yet that's what I'm doing. There must be an instruction missing for finding the correct file.

  • Premiere CS5 crashes every time I select the effects tab.

    I'm running windows 7 (64bit) with the latest version of Premiere CS5 (I think it was 5.0.3, or maybe 5.0.2?  Either way the updater said it was the current version).  Every time I select the "Effects" window in my layout premiere crashes.  It used to work perfectly, then a week or so ago I noticed one of my projects was crashing when I tried to open it.  Since then, that project has crashed for me every time, and while I can import it into a new project safely, now I can no longer open my effects window (or apply effects).
    I have already tried uninstalling 3rd party effects, uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere (all of CS5), and resetting my preferences.  Nothing helped.
