InDesign CC and Windows 7 32-bit

Am I having an exception or the rule? I'm running Windows 7, 32-bit. I've installed Creative Cloud and have both CS6 and CC. My first experience with InDesign CC today. I draw a text frame and can't see it. I place text into a text frame and don't see anything for 15 seconds. I haven't seen a text insertion cursor yet.
I can't be this slow in a program, so I saved the file as a IDML file. Then I tried to close InDesign CC. It warns me that a background task is going on and it will exit as soon as it can. I wait. Nothing. The message says to check the Background Task panel for the list of background tasks going on and the ability to cancel them. There is nothing in the panel.
I finally was able to force quit InDesign CC. I can work in CS6. But why am I paying a monthly fee for this? Am I missing something? Do I have an incompatible system? What on earth is going on?

I'm using a Dell XPS420, 3.0 gHz Intel Core2 Duo, 4 Gb RAM, Plenty of hard disk space (1, 2 and 3
TB drives), about 1.5 TB free, ATI Radeon HD 4600 video card running a Dell Ultrasharp 24" display running at 1920 by 1200, Windows 7 (32-bit), Service Pack 1.
Does that help. I rebooted the machine (I realized that I hadn't since Creative Cloud installed) and it has run better, but I'm still using CS6.
This is reminding me of using InDesign 1.0 and 1.5 on a 486. I don't miss those days...

  • Indesign cs3 and windows 8.1

    I'm having trouble installing indesign cs3 with Windows 8.1.  The program says I need to upgrade screen resolution.  My lowest screen resolution is the minimum required.  I have the highest.  Any options or ideas for getting past this?

    I was able to get it running with Windows 8 (64-bit), but it did take a few tries, and I have not played with all the software yet.  I have used Photoshop and Illustrator successfully, and I've opened InDesign.  I remember having to copy a file off of the installation disk to my desktop and renaming it to "AdobePDF.dll" -- I think it had 64 in the original file name.  During the install, it said it could not find that file, and that trick worked.  (I only remember because that file is still on my desktop.)
    My question is: Has anyone who has CS3 running on Windows 8 upgraded to windows 8.1?
    My computer keeps asking me, but I don't want to break CS3. I don't use it a whole lot, but when I need it, I want it to work.
    Thank you for any replies!

  • Quicktime and Windows 64-bit OSs

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to get Quicktime to show the control bars on an web video when the OS is Windows and it is 64-bit.
    I have tried in XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit and 7 64-bit, but all I get is the first picture in the video, no controls to get it to start.
    Thanks

    The bars never show up in 64bit Vista with QT 7.6.4. They do show up in 7.6.6 but 7.6.6 has some play issues that have not been resolved yet.

  • InDesign Mac and Windows troubles

    Hi,
    We got 2 different shares on our Windows Server. One share for InDesign documents and one share for pictures. The pictures are used in the InDesign documents.
    We use InDesign CS6 for Mac and for Windows. If we create the InDesign documents on a Mac and open it on a Windows InDesign the picture links are broken. Same thing happens when we create the InDesign documents on Windows and open it on a Mac. Between 2 Macs or 2 Windows computers there isn't any problems.
    If both the InDesign document and the picture we link to is on the same server share there's no problems too.
    Shouldn't it be possible to edit the same InDesign documents on both Mac and Windows without breaking the links when they are stored on different shares?
    Thanks!
    Best regards
    Brian

    Sounds like either a problem with the path separators (Mac style vs. PC style), or possibly the network protocol used to link to the server on the Mac side.

  • SAPBobsCOM.dll and  windows 64 bits

    When i try to connect to sap using di api, i have a exception:
    Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {632F4591-AA62-4219-8FB6-22BCF5F62007} failed due to the following error: 80040154
    I have a web service on windows 64 bits and  I have reinstalled di api

    Hello
    When you compile your application, you must use x86 type as target CPU. reason: B1 and SDK components are running in 32 bit mode under x64 machines. x64 application cannot communicate x86 applications in .COM components. Your addon is compiled to x64, and the DI API is x86 compiled.
    This is the reason why you receice error message,
    Also nice, if you give the directirve Win32 = True to the compiler when you build you appliaction.

  • Experiences with 10.1.8.3. and Windows 32 bit

    Hi all,
    we successfully installed 10.1.8.3. on Windows 2003 Server 32 bit. After the installation the crawling jobs works fine. But invoking https:\\<OSES_HOME>search/query/search and searching a keyword we get PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GETRESULT'.
    Does anybody else receive the same problem ?
    regards Rainer

    hello RaiFri..
    Did you get an answer for this question? Were you able to solve the error?
    We have an instance where we are getting this error but we are running on Solaris 10 64-bit version but the SES version is same (10.1.8.3.0).
    Getting this error after the upgrade from 10.1.8.2.

  • Lightroom 6 and windows 32 bit

    Hi,
    I just wanted to start with the next level of photo shooting/editing.
    Thus I purchsed Lightroom 6 and when I installed it, a error message came up ...
    it needs obviously a 64bit computer.
    What can I do now?!?!
    I the only chance to buy a new desktop?!?!
    Thx,

    I also bought the download LR version 6 as an update of LR version 5.7 and tried to install it with the same error message of a 64bit windows version.
    But this is not mentioned in the "Systemanforderung". They write following for:
    Windows
       - Intel®- oder AMD-Prozessor mit 64-Bit-Unterstützung*
         - Windows 7 mit Service Pack 1, Windows 8 oder Windows 8.1
    * Doppelkern-Prozessor für HD- oder AVCHD-Funktionen empfohlen
    The same is mentioned for LR version 5
    There isn`t given any directive to use a 64bit Win 7 version, only the recommendation for the processor *...
    Does it really mean for LR6 is a 64bit WIN version necesary?
    If yes, what can I do to reject version LR6 and get my money back?
    Thx

  • InDesign CS5 and Windows 7 crash on link updating

    I've got a super-frustrating problem here, hoping someone can help.
    I tried to make my documentation workflow easier by linking an Illustrator file, using the 30 layers in the AI file along with Object States in Indesign to control image display on each page. This workflow allows me to make one AI file and setup my states in with InDesign, then I just go through each page of my document and choose the state I want, etc. Problem is, when I make a small change to the AI file I get 3000+ links that need updating. Normally I'd figure no big deal, click to fix all and go make a coffee. Problem is IND gets all the way through the long process and then crashes! My only way to update the links without crashing is to select groups much smaller than the whole and update each group. I try to update one page at a time, and that's roughly 100 links. This takes quite some time.
    Some other things to note. My document is probable a higher resolution than I needed, but going back and rebuilding smaller would take more time than I'd like to spend. Also, I deleted the preferences hoping it would fix things but it did not. Lastly, I setup display options for my links panel and clipboard handling but the settings don't seem to save next time I open IND, how do I save these prefs???

    I’ve been told that CS5.5 and CS6 were both tested and should be fine. I can only personally testify for CS6 which I’ve been running without issue on the consumer preview.
