System requirements for InDesign CS6

Hi,
I currently use InDesign CS5 but need to upgrade to CS6. My computer uses Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9400 @2.66 GHz with 3.0 GB RAM.
Accoring to Adobe, CS6 requires a Pentium 4. My computer runs on Windows XP with the 3.0 Service pack and uses 32 Bit.
Based on my research, it seems the Intel Core2 Quad CPU is powerful enough to do the job.
Will my computer be able to handle the upgrade to CS6?
Thanks for your help.
Ed

Bob,
I just moved up to CS6. Photoshop ran great as well as Illustrator and Bridge. InDesign would get to the "starting up service registry" and fail. Every time.
I did everything I know to do. Rebuild prefs, remove plugins (not that there were any on a one day old install) so I got on support chat.
After hours they decide that Vista in not a supported OS. Fine I need to upgrade anyway.
I now have WIN 7 Ultimate installed... SAME error!
I am at a total loss.
The only thing I can think of is the processor. Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40
4 gigs of RAM on a 32 bit OS.
I know if I go 64 I can have the world... but I would also need to buy all new software.
So any idea what is going on?
I hate to spend $50 a month on software I can't use (indesign is my most used program).
Thanks in advance Chris

Why do I get a message saying "You are running an operating system that InDesign no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms."? What does this mean?

It means that your machine does not meet the system requirements for InDesign. Check the system requirements for InDesign against those of your machine to see where your machine comes up short.

Which versions of InDesign are you referring to? What are the operating system specs for the machine?

This appears on my screen when I try to download InDesign CC. "You are running an operating system that InDesign no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements for a full list of supported platforms." I've tried with 2 different computers (Wind&Mac)

Bastaría con que indicases el sistema operativo en cda uno de esas computadoras para saber si son compatibles:
Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 (ID CC 2014 y ID CC)
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9 (10.6.8 para la CC anterior)
Si utilizan un sistema operativo anterior, you are "out of luck".

Hello,
Can you please advise me as to the recommended system requirements for Adobe CC for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Dreamweaver (all 4 programs). I'm hoping this is summarized somewhere rather than making me look up and compare all four. I'll be using a windows based PC, and will need a graphics card that can support at least two monitors.

Realistic system requirements for Design Premium on MAC

Hi,
Can anyone give me some realistic system requirements for CS4 Design Premium? I am just about ripping my hair out with having to reboot several times a day because i'm running out of memory on my PC and am thinking about switching to MAC.
I am currently running a PC well above the recommended specs for Design Premium CS4 and it looks as though I will have to upgrade anyway. Designer friends tell me their MACs never require rebooting (but again i guess it depends on the MAC specs).
My questions are:
* If i buy a MAC, what would I need to buy to comfortably run Design Premium CS4 without any crashes?
* reading some of the other discussion threads in this forum it seems some products don't work/aren't supported by MAC? Of the Design Premium products which ones would I have issues with?
* Does anyone know what the deal is with switching the software licensing from Windows to Mac? (I heard you can only switch if you are upgrading which would mean I would have to wait until CS5 is released.)
Advice would be appreciated!!
Cheers,
Karen

Thanks Michael,
I do use a few of the programs at once: Bridge + Photoshop + Illustrator + Indesign (actually, have learnt cannot run all of these at once but would love to!);
Dreamweaver + Fireworks (Fireworks constantly causes me headaches where files become locked and cannot be saved - all due to shortage of memory)
Usually run virus software - full scan weekly, so am pretty sure my system is clean.
Great idea about disabling Virus software - will ensure I unplug from modem first!! I will give that a go.
Cheers,
Karen

Realistic system requirements for Design Premium?????

Hi,
Can anyone give me some realistic system requirements for CS4 Design Premium? I am just about ripping my hair out with having to reboot several times a day because i'm running out of memory!
I am current running: 32 bit XP SP3, 3GHz processor and 3.25GB RAM with a 500GB hard drive of which 379GB is free.
I can't install more memory without going to a 64 bit operating system which would mean wiping the PC and reinstalling everything.
The advertised requirements are only 2GBHz processor and 1MB RAM. (perhaps this might work if only opening one program at a time????)
Also considering buying a MAC - I've had designers tell me they never have to reboot - guess it depends on their specs too. What are the disadvantages of a MAC over a PC?
Advice would be appreciated!!
Cheers,
Karen

System requirements for Incopy?

Hi! I'd like our writers and editors to start using Incopy so that we (the graphic design department) can utilize the Incopy/Indesign workflow. Although our computers our powerful, the writers are working on dinosaur PCs and i'm worried their computers may choke on Incopy. Already one of their computers has crashed on the trial version. Are there any recommended system requirements for the average PC to run Incopy? I couldn't find any posted on the adobe site. I'll need to make a recommendation to our bosses for either more RAM, better computers, etc.
thanks if you have any information!

Not gonna run on those dinosaur PCs. InCopy pretty much requires the same horsepower as InDesign.
BTW, keep in mind that CS5 will be shipping very soon and at that point CS4 will become rather difficult to buy. And mixing versions is not a good idea.
