InDesign CS6 will only run "as administrator"

I have Windows 7 on a 32-bit computer. I can only start InDesign CS6 if I "run as administrator." The first problem is that it doesn't remember things like "recently viewed" when the computer is shut down and restarted.
The more serious problem is that the Help doesn't work at all. It just sits there or, if I hunt around, it tells me I have no internet connection.
If I open normally, it gets to the startup page and then says that the program has failed and will be shut down. All files are up to date.
I installed it on a second 32-bit computer (my laptop) and got the same results.
I have no way of knowing if this is related or not, but I cannot "drag" a file onto the open area in InDesign. A circle shows up as a pointer and nothing happens.

See this post: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff431742.aspx
It explains the details from Manish's reply, and will atleast get you working.
But this has to do something with the user account. I think that you should check that your account has sufficient privileges that let the software make changes to system files on disc. For example, make sure that the account you're signed into is part of the Administrators group.
Btw, does this also happen with other software as well, or is it just InDesign CS6?

ITunes 10.5 will only run as Administrator, Windows 7

I have seen numerous threads on this but none of the proposed solutions work. I can get iTunes 10.5 to run, but only when using "Run as Administrator". I should not have to do that to run iTunes each and every time. I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows and I'm not going to do that as the PC runs perfectly fine except for this one issue. Without running as Adminstrator, when I go to run iTunes it just flat out refuses to run with no error message provided.
Also, with iTunes running as admin, it steals the IR remote commands "Stop" and "Skip" and blocks Windows Media Centre from being able to use those IR commands. I am guessing that part of this is because iTunes is running as admin. I've never had any of these problems with previous versions of iTunes.

I agree. I am having the same issue.
Stop, Skip forward and Skip backwards buttons appear to be stopped until I kill itunes.
Other issue is that itunes keeps re-spawning due to the recent changes to wifi sync. Had to kill the itunes helper service to stop this re-opening.
I have noticiced that it is particularly bad when itunes throws an error (unable to sync) and that then it captures the input destined for Windows Media Centre (Windows 7 on a Home Theatre PC)

Adobe Digital Edition 4.0.3 on Windows 8.1 will only run as Administrator

When trying to run ADE4.0.3 as standard user on Windows 8.1 nothing happens but I can see it is producing Windows Error Reports when monitoring it with Process Explorer and the Windows Application log shows two events (id 1026 and 1000) in quick succession when I try to launch it. See extracts of the Windows event logs below.
When I run the application as an Administrator their is no problems and the application launches as expected. It would appear to be some sort of permissions error either in .Net Framework, File system or registry. Please assist.

I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation. They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
If you need to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 6 you can do so at Download CS6 products.

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just had an afterthought, Peter, if I could bother you further; if the downstairs iMac that I want to access it from is in my wife's name and not mine (even though I'll be the one using it on her computer) does that affect anything or can I simply load the software straight into her computer without any complications?

Is it true that, as from 1 Aug 2013, CS6 will only be available as an online subscription service?

I have read that CS6 will only be available to new users as a subscription service. It will require users to pay monthly for the service, and will also require that they be online whenever they use the program. Could someone please help me with reliable information? The "Contact us" page on Adobe has been of absolutely no use at all in helping me with this question.

From the Adobe CS6 FAQ:
For how long will Adobe continue to sell Creative Suite 6?
We plan to sell Creative Suite 6 for use on supported platforms indefinitely.

Every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I try to restart

every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

Simon,
You may try to buy elsewhere. You may come across offers of new and unopened box sets, and used ones. There is quite a number of rules concerning the legality of taking over Adobe software from others, in some cases requiring a licence transfer.

Creative Cloud will only "run" when started in "Run as Administrator"

For some reason, sometime in the past month Creative Cloud will not give me access when started from any of the normal methods; the Task bar Shortcut, the Start Menu shortcut, or even directly from double clicking on "Creative Cloud.exe." It starts in the background but does not appear on the monitor. This is confirmed with Task Manager. I have found that if I use Task Manager to "End Task," I can start the program (from any of the above methods) by choosing "Run as Administrator" and it appears on the monitor and I have complete access.
Today, I updated to the newest version and the situation remains the same (except, that before I did not have to "end Task" in Task Manager prior to "Run as Administrator.)
What is causing this and how do I fix it?

I tried every solution I found online suggesting deletion of apps, fresh installs, deletion of folders, permission changes, etc. I finally had an hour long chat session with an Adobe tech who had me do much of the same thing again, only to have the issue remain.
Here was the end solution which worked for me:
1. Create a new Admin account
2. Log out of your computer, and then back in under the new admin account
3. use the Creative Cloud uninstaller app to uninstall CC desktop. (Doing this prompted an alert message telling me I couldn't do this because some CC apps required it. So, I deleted the 2 CC apps I had installed, Lightroom and Photoshop)
4. After the uninstall completes, install a new copy of CC desktop. (Once I did this, it opened and ran correctly.)
5. Log out and log back in under your usual account.
6. If CC desktop doesn't start on its own, double click the application itself to start up.
After completing step #6, CC desktop started up on its own. I re-downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom through CC and all is working normally so far.

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. will upgrade fix???

Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file. Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document. NOT GOOD!!! Just saw that ADOBE has an update for InDesign. WILL THIS FIX THE PROBLEM??

Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
* Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
* Corrupt Image(s)
* Power Failures (power surges)
* Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
* Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

Hopefully this helps you.

Bridge CS6 Insists on Running as Administrator - PC

Everything worked so well in CS5 Extended......
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit - MSI 990FXA-GD80 Motherboard - AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU - nVideo GTX550ti Video
Okay, I have CS6 running on an SSD. Initially with CS6 Beta I found I had to run as Administrator. I eventually discovered how to run as a user by going into Preferences / Performance and setting my scratch disk to my hard drive.
So now I have the CS6 release. I deleted CS6 Beta as instructed and followed directions for the install. CS6 works fine except for the bugs that I reported in the beta forum . My problem is now that Bridge insists on running as Administrator. If I try and run it as a user, it comes up and quits immediately. It doesn't make a wisp of difference where I set my Cache file, SSD or hard drive. I can even deal with that, however now I can't start Bridge from Photoshop! I click on File / Browse in Bridge and nothing happens. If I start Bridge then go to Photoshop and click on File / Browse in Bridge, still nothing happens. I have to manually switch to the Bridge window.
Help!!
Gerry

I think the point of trying to help people find workarounds is that no one here save for the Adobe folks know when they're likely to release that fix.

it seems the CS6 Beta was released totally as a marketing ploy and not at all to allow us to work with it and report bugs.
When was the Photoshop CS6 beta first made available? The date I recall is March 22, 2012, and that software was actually built from sources on March 5, near as I can tell.
For reference, note the build dates on the files installed as part of the Photoshop CS6 release:
Software preparation for release is normally a pipeline, with engineers working on code, build teams building code into executables and installers, system testers testing builds, beta testers testing potential releases, and customers downloading released code all simultaneously.
I suspect Adobe was expecting to be able to release the Photoshop CS6 they already had built by the time the beta test started, unless any real "show stopper" bugs were found. Bottom line I think is that we can assume none of the customer-reported bugs during the public beta were gauged "show stoppers". I'm pretty sure not everyone sees the crash you're seeing.
There's always pressure to get a release out, even if it's not perfect, as long as some customers can derive value from it... Proceeds from sales can keep the lights on at the factory while the first update is prepared.
We only hope that update makes everything better without making anything worse.

InDesign CS6 will not retain preferences

One of my users was recently upgraded from CS5 to Design and Web Premium CS6. The first issue is that the InDesign program crashes for no apparent reason from time to time. Secondly, the InDesign program will not retain any preferences. If the program crashes and is restarted, the preferences are lost. Also, if the program is closed normally and reopened, the preferences are lost. This started happening about one month ago and prior to that, there were no problems.
I have searced the forums and internet for a solution and while I've been able to find similar issues with other users, I cannot find a resolution. Re-installaiton of the program has not produced a resolution. Can anyone assist with this frustrating problem.

I'm sorry Pete...I didn't quite get your response. Can you reboot into safe mode, disable all drivers, turn off your virus protection, uninstall the latest service pack and then reinstall it, check your fonts because bad fonts can cause problems in getting responses through.
Pete...I don't disrespect you. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU. I'm sure that your intentions are always legit and that you truly TRY to help people. My only issues are that I came her for help and would rather have a dozen people shrug their shoulders and say "IDUNNO" rather than getting the same old questions about drivers, service packs, virus protection, firewalls or first born male childs birthdate. While I may have been aggressive in looking for a solution....I did find your responses to be a bit patronizing and belittling. I do not disrespect you.
A different philosophy? ABSO-FREAKING-LOUTLEY!!! I'm more of a "fix the problem guy". Forget the amputation...put the poor ******* out of his misery and perform a Frankenstein ritual to bring him back to life (My analogy for a quick re-image from my deployment server). Fortunately for me, I was able to solve the issue by simply recreating a user profile.
Once again, thanks Pete for you response.

The "VISA Configure Serial Port" VI will only run at 9600 Baud

I have written a Serial Port monitor "RS232 RW.vi" that works for the most part. The problem is that it will not respond to alternate port configuration settings.... For instance: the default RS232 Serial port configuration is:
(COM1,9600 baud,8 data bits,1 Stop bit, None no parity)
As a test, I am using a Null Modem Cable to connect From my LabView Com1 port to another PC running RealTerm Serial Port Monitor.. Using my newly designed "RS232 RW.vi" With port settings of (COM1,9600 baud,8 data bits,1 Stop bit, None no parity), I can send and receive data back and forth all day long no problems....
However, if I configure the "RS232 RW.vi" port to any other configuration, such as (COM1,2400 baud ,7 data bits,1 stop bit, Odd parity).. It will not take the expected chances and continues to operate @ 9600 baud etc.
I then changed the "RS232 RW.vi" default settings to (2400,7,1,Odd)
it still refuses to deviate from (COM1, 9600,8,1,None...)
I also went into the Win XP Device Manager on the LabView system and manually configured Com1 to 2400,7,1,Odd
and still,.... the "RS232 RW.vi" will only operate @ 9600,8,1,None
Can anyone else test drive my VI and see if they have the same problem of not being able to see new changes in the Port configuration settings ..other than (COM1, 9600,8,1,None...).... ?
FYI.. Unfortunately my LabView is running on Version 6.0 so you may need to up-convert the attached vi
Solved!

Instead of just appreciating the comments, you need to implement them.
Having the VISA close inside the loop is definitely the problem. And Crossrulz is 100% correct about the problem being that the serial port gets reset to the default baud rate after closing the port. Here is the proof.
Note that while you may have set the port settings manually in device manager, those settings are revised by the VISA driver. If you look in Measurement and Automation Explorer under Devices and Interfaces >> Serial and Parallel, you'll see the default settings that the VISA driver uses. If you change the setting there, your program will work the way you want. But that is not the correct fix. The correct fix is to get the VISA close out of the while loop.
The port settings are established in this order.
1. By the Windows device drivers.
2. By the VISA driver as established in MAX. Since you are useing VISA, these settings will automatically override #1.
3. By the port settings you set programmatically in your LabVIEW program.
