Installing Adobe InDesign on replacement computer

I had to replace my computer (new one is an Asus with Windows 8). After uploading my Adobe InDesign software (InDesign 1.5 that worked on replaced computer with Windows XP) the software program opens, etc but refuses to open the template files that I desperately need. There is a choice of files ending in ai, pdf, eps and pdf. It doesn't recognize any of these files.
I can likely open and work with these files in photoshop Cs2 but would prefer to  work with InDesign.  
Any suggestions? Might it be because the InDesign 1.5 is such old software?
Response would be greatly appreciated!

There is every chance the problem could be the age of the software.  YOur best bet will be to run the software in compatibility mode and see if that helps.

  • Installing Adobe InDesign CS4.

    I have previously purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4. The discs are no longer working, and I need to re-install the programs onto my new computer. I have had this issue in the past and contacted Adobe to email me a link for me to download certain programs from the internet. I have my product code or key code still, but am not able to use the discs to re-install onto my new computer. Can you please send me a link so that I may install Adobe InDesign CS4 onto my new computer.

  • Trouble - Installing Adobe InDesign

    Just received my new MacBook Pro, and it's great.
    I am having an issue with installing Adobe InDesign 2.0
    Is anyone experiencing this issue? Could the problem be intel chip related? However I am able to install Photoshop 7 and Ilustrator 10 (the ones before they used CS name)
    I keep getting the spinning rainbow, when I double-click the install icon. It just hangs there. The disc is in perfect condition. It was installed on my Power PC Macs without any problems. I am very confused here. Please help.

  • Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?

    Why is the time remaining going up as I install adobe inDesign through creative cloud?

    Downloads have built-in "checksums" (I think that's the correct term that basically check to make sure the bits of data are being downloaded correctly.
    Sometimes the previous check has to redownload the previous bits. That can cause the time to go up.
    Also, it may be that your bandwidth speed is slowing down or lots of others are accessing the bandwidth.
    BUT if the download goes way, way up—like instead of 12 minutes, it goes to 6 hours, something's wrong with the installation.

  • I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

    I just installed Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and now I can't scale objects/type using Command+Shift Key. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, any solution?

    There is a conflict with third party software or your system keyboard shortcuts. Lately, there have been many postings about conflicts with Chrome extensions so check there first.
    It's not a new problem. I wrote about it on InDesignSecrets.com in 2006:

  • Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    first thing to try is reset InDesign:
    delete the preference file located here:
    system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
    then repair the hard drive:
    shut down the Mac
    restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
    keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
    let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
    when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • I recently bought and installed Adobe InDesign CS4. It does not have some fonts I want, e.g., Papyru

         I recently bought and installed Adobe InDesign CS4. It does not have some fonts I want, e.g., Papyrus Bold. I copied it from the Windows XP Fonts folder into the InDesign Font folder, which, for starters, was empty (even though when I open the InDesign application its inherent fonts are available). I have gone to online Help and tried different things, but I still cannot get Papyrus Bold when I open my file.
         Where are the InDesign fonts stored, if not in the InDesign Fonts folder?
         How can I make the fonts that are in my Windows XP to be available in InDesign?
         Thank you.
         Andrew

         Peter,
         Thanks for your quick reply.
         I don’t see why there should be a problem with the Papyrus font I copied from Windows, since it works just fine in Word.
    It is listed in the Windows XP/Fonts folder as Open Type, although in brackets beneath it has “True Type.”
         Note: the Adobe InDesign Fonts folder was empty when I first viewed it (except for my attempted copies of Papyrus and a couple of Lucidas). Where are the inherent InDesign fonts stored, if not there?
         Thanks again for your attention.

  • Can I install adobe indesign CS 5.5 in Windows 2005 server?

    Hello,
    I want to install Adobe CS 5.5 (actuall I will use only Indesign) in Windows 2003. (failing that, in windows 2005 server)
    1. Is there a way to install CS 5.5 in windows 2003 server?
    2. If not, how can i install in windows 2005 server?
    Any information related to this will be helpful.
    Thank you.
    Regards

    There is no product called Adobe CS 5.5! There are five different versions of the Creative Suite 5.5 with different componenet software and thus, simply stating Adobe CS 5.5 generally won't get you any questions answered.
    Having said that, none of the versions of the Creative Suite officially support and of the Windows Server products. You may be able to coerce the installers to install the software on such platforms and then get the component applications to run, but Adobe neither tested such usage nor does it support same. In other words, you are really totally on your own here.
    The only Creative Suite application that explicitly does support any of the Windows Server platforms and in fact requires installation on Windows Server is InDesign Server!
    Also, please note that there absolutely is not any such product from Microsoft as “Windows Server 2005.” There is Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, each with various editions, but there was no version with the 2005 moniker.
