InDesign CS3: Problem with Trial

Hello,
I have no tried installing the trial on three different machines and have gotten this message each time I have tried to launch the program and begin the trial:
"A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial period for Adobe InDesign CS3.
Click quit to see if restarting your computer or reinstalling the software fixes this problem. Otherwise, click Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial number to begin using the product without trial."
All of the machines I have tried to install on are running Windows XP SP2. Thanks for any help!

I have the exact same issue.
The product installed OK, but when I choose "Start 30 day trial" I am simply told "A problem was encountered..."
The download is from Adobe web page, 15 August 2008.
File size 459.188.632 bytes, MD5 = 27d34a3d4e5c5f08992b74c9747f4280
Payload code = 24D77A7C-E10B-4057-9974-FAB8BFDAC853
Payloads/Setup.xml: 458H Setup version="1.0.135.0"
The software was installed on a fresh PC 2GHz, 1Gb memory, with win XP.
It is totally frustrating that not even a trial can start. At least Quark gets that one right.. I truly understand people that search for a key generate online. All I needed was a trial while I wait for my paid copy to appear.
Btw: InCopy will not even install, here I am simply told: "You can only run one installer at a time".. although InDesign was already completely installed.
Shame on you, Adobe installer team. Shame on you.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
Thanks.

Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.

InDesign CS3 problems with selecting links

I have a Mac user on OS 10.4.11 using InDesign CS3 5.0.4.
They have one particular file that whenever they select a link from the links panel and then move the mouse to the bottom of the panel to select either 'relink' or 'go to link' the selected link becomes unhighlighted so those two buttons don't work. A similar problem is that if they select one link from the links panel and then try to scroll, it will keep jumping back to that selected link but then it will be unhighlighted.
There does not seam to be any other problems like this in any other application and I have tried different mice and keyboard to rule out a faulty key making InDesign think that something is being held down while selecting.
I hope someone can help me resolve this.
Thank you in advance.

First thing to try is replacing preferences. this link is for CS4, but the procedures haven't changed.

"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

Hello,
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

InDesign CS3 incompatible with XP SP3, which will soon be an automatic update

A couple of months ago, after I had instability problems, I was advised by Adobe Support that Windows XP Service Pack 3, which I had installed, was not recommended for use with InDesign CS3. I am advised today that this is still the case.
This is now a critical situation for the many people who use Indesign CS3 with Windows XP. ComputerWorld reports this week that Microsoft has said that the SP3 upgrade will "shortly" no longer be optional, but will be forced on people as an automatic update.
I discussed this with Adobe Support today and was advised that I could turn off automatic Microsoft updates via the XP control panel. Well I knew that, but it is not a good option because it will turn off automatic updates of other important elements, such as security fixes.
This is a most unsatisfactory situation and Adobe has had plenty of time to sort it out. We need to know when a patch will be available and there should also be a system whereby Adobe can advise XP users when the patch comes available. And Adobe needs to get it's act together urgently, to produce the fix.

Matthew - if you see no problem with the XP SP3/Indesign CS3 combination, why don't you tell your phone support people?
When I had my original problems, a large book design file was continually freezing. When I rang support (Asia-Pacific), I was told unequivocally that CS3 should not be used with XP SP3.
I rolled back my service pack upgrade and still had problems, so the problem may well have been some corruption that had entered my InDesign file.
However, with that book awkwardly cobbled together and out of the way, last week I rang Adobe support again, to see if any of the recent CS3 updates had made InDesign CS3 compatible with SP3 and again was told it wasn't. Their documentation said it was OK with XP SP2 and Vista, but not SP3.
This needs to be properly sorted out.

Placed QuarkXpress 7 eps into InDesign CS3 prints with slanted type

any suggestions to fix?

placed QuarkXpress 7 eps into InDesign CS3 prints with slanted type
The problem may be in the HP print drivers.
Printing to Epson printers works, printing to HP 132, 5000 or 2200 produces slanted type, even at Adobe.
Printing to disk as a Postscript printer and then printing the ps file using the pdf printer works fine.

Hi Stefan
This problem has been discussed in our german mediengestalter forum four weeks ago without any solution. The workaround seems to be: working as an admin!

InDesign CS3 hangs with colored spinball after start application

We have inhouse a big problem:
in different times hangs indesign CS3 with the color spinball. After the interruption of the application and restart we can see follow: when the app is up and we think, yes! we can work the spinball comes back and we can wait...if we wait to work after the restart 1-2 minutes the spinball comes for 20-30 seconds and then we can work without problems. As far as the next time (normally within 1 week...).
We have checked the switch, the cables. We have this problem also without network connection. And it reproducible on mac 10.4.x, 10.5.x, Windows XP and Vista. With versions 5.03 and 5.04.
What is this for a problem?
We have deleted all preferences and moved the plugins outside (we have 3 plugins: Softcare K4, Linotype Fontexplorer and Typefy): This problem is always here.
We are helpless. Can you us?
Thanks for a solution!

Did you also install any new fonts? That looks like a font error.

InDesign CS3 freezing with Vista

Recently upgraded to Vista 32bit. InDesign CS3 files are freezing. Unable to open files again even after ending program and rebooting computer. Help.

Once I try to open an .indd file, InDesign keeps trying to open it
without success. I have to reboot my computer to get it InDesign to
open. When it does open, it shows all functions but it won't open any
files. Tried moving the Suitcase folder to another location but
couldn't. Had difficulty just getting the fonts to work in the
beginning. Do you advise uninstalling InDesign and then reinstalling?
Is this a compatibility problem with this version of Vista? Should I
consider upgrading to CS4?

InDesign CS3: Problem in creating assignment files through API.

I had written some code for InDesign CS2 that allows user to
create an empty Assignment file,export any selected pageitem and add to the Assignment,save the assignment.
Now I have ported the same code for InDesign CS3 by following porting guidelines.
I am facing an issue in saving the article. When any page item is exported and added to the assignment, the exported file name displayed under the newly created assignment in Assignments Palette of InDesign. But when i save the assignment the exported file is moved into UnAssigned InCopy Content in the palette.
Also the final InCopy file doesnot contain link to exported page item file(.incx).
I am using the following API in my code,
void ExportStoryAndCreateLink(const UIDRef & story,const IDFile & file,
const FileTypeInfoID & fileTypeID
) [virtual]
Please post in this thread if any one has come across this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Hi vivek,
Have you tried adding the same document with the client ?
OACT is the accounts table and this error message typically indicates that there is an account parameter missing somewhere in the system.
Possible causes include:
- you are using a tax group or warehouse which does not have all the required accounts set
- There is a price rounding and the rounding price account has not been set in the account settings
- etc.
The first things I would check include the tax group settings and the G/L Account determination settings.

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

DW CS3 problem with PNG-8 images in Design View?

DW CS3 (build 3481) on XP seems to have problems with PNG-8 images, specifically trying to display them in design view.
I had a very simple image that was able to be exported by Fireworks CS4 as PNG-8 using 4 colors (no transparency) for a tiny file size under 250 bytes.
DW could not display it at all, or even recognize it, reporting it was 0 x 0 in size. I published the page anyway, and it looked fine in the browser.
I upped the number of colors to 32, and DW could then display it in design view in the page I was working on.
I'm still having problems with other PNG-8 images. The attached file "temp.jpg" is a screenshot showing part of the design view in DW.
The smaller image on the left of the banner is "58_certificate_of_discharge.png" (attached), and the larger image below is used as the background of the DIV containing the form,"compassbk.png" (also attached).
These images all look fine in the browser, but terrible in DW.
I'm stumped as to why.
Thanks in advance.

According to a different discussion, the images that are stuck as "Queued" are showing a bug in the virus scanning on the forums.
Now trying the recommended 'camera icon' method...
Looks like it worked.
Now compare what it looks like in DW CS3 in the design view:
It's a 16 color PNG-8 made in Fireworks CS4 with no transparency, size is 113 x 58, ending up at 1.71K.
If this is a repeatable problem in CS3, is there any hope of it being resolved, or am I stuck with upgrading to CS4 as my only option (assuming it's fixed in CS4)?
Thanks.
