What does CSXS.InDesignPlugin do? AKA how I stopped InDesign hanging on launch.

Here is the system spec:
Mac Pro, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 4GB RAM. Snow Leopard 10.6.8
This is with a fresh install of CS5.5 + running the 7.5.1 patch. It has a volume license applied. We use no third party plugins and I have uninstalled CS4....
So, I've just spent four hours fixing a problem we've been having since recently upgrading to CS5.5. On launching InDesign, it would very quickly reach 100% CPU on one core and be flagged as not responding in activity monitor. It would take around ~70 seconds to reach a usable state. This is not what I had expected.
Having read a lot of people having lag and speed problems with InDesign CS5.5, I've tried all the deleting preferences, setting draw modes, turning thumbnails off etc. I finally got to the point of trying removing and then re-adding the plugins from the folder /Macintosh HD/Applications/InDesign CS5.5/Plug-Ins.
Finally I ended up with only one plugin removed, namely CSXS.InDesignPlugin from the folder /Macintosh HD/Applications/InDesign CS5.5/Plug-Ins/UI. If I leave this out of the folder then InDesign launches in ~4 seconds, which is what I would expect.
So, my questions are:
What does CSXS.InDesignPlugin do?
Why does it make launching the application so slow?
Can I just leave it out of the folder, or will bad things happen if I do?
If anybody (particularly someone from Adobe) has any information on this then it would be extremely appreciated.

TL;DR: CSXS.InDesignPlugin seems to add an apparently non essential menu item that I think I can live without.
Longer version:
OK, I did some further investigating and found the following results:
With CSXS.InDesignPlugin in the Plug-Ins folder, the menu item InDesign > Manage Extensions.. is available in the InDesign menu just above the Preferences menu item.
If I remove CSXS.InDesignPlugin frm the Plug-Ins folder, the menu item InDesign > Manage Extensions.. dissapears.
If I click on the Manage Extensions.. menu item, it launches the application Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5. Interestingly this application gives the option to remove CSXS.InDesignPlugin.
So: It would appear that CSXS.InDesignPlugin adds the Manage Extensions... option to the InDesign menu. The purpose of this menu item is to launch the application Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5 from within InDesign. As I know the location of Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5 should I ever need to launch it, I am concluding that under my circumstances the loss of the Manage Extensions... menu item is acceptable as it has not yet had any observable adverse efects on stability, useability or, most importantly, files output for print.
If anybody knows anything else I would be very interested to hear. I'll post any longer term findings if they ever arise.

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

What does VPN DO? And how to use it ?

What does VPN DO? And how to use it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vpn
Or Google 'what is a vpn' or 'how to use a vpn' many people have explained this better than me.
In short it wraps your traffic in to an encrypted link to a server (normally on the internet). Then the traffic leaves that server & goes onto the public internet. It is possible for the link to reveal information about you, but a VPN can protect you on open wifi or on bad networks etc.
Sometimes the VPN terminates inside a corporate network, so users can do work at home securely.
It is similar to using https for web browsing (secure http makes traffic difficult to intercept & read).

What does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle?

hi,
i want to know what does the scriptcollector do and how does it related to jsf lifecycle? and also in the scriptcollector if i call this,
preRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadBegin}
postRender=#{myBean.onPageLoadEnd}
how my page will react?

The hx:scriptCollector is part of the IBM Faces Client Framework and has nothing to do with Sun JSF RI.
Lot of the hx components require specific Javascript and those hx components should be placed inside a single hx:scriptCollector which on its turn checks the nested hx components and renders the desired Javascript for it at the end of the tag. Check the HTML source for that Javascript.

What does this error mean and how do I fix it? I am trying to reinstall CS4 on my Windows 8.1 machine.

Error 2.
Here is the initial error: http://s29.postimg.org/wqy2ju8iv/Untitled.png

I'm stumped.

Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

I got an error no 1015 ! what does it mean ? and How Can I solve this issue?

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

What does it mean when a lost phone stops showing up on device list on find iPhone app?

What does it mean when a lost iPhone stops showing up in device list on find iPhone app?

That means:
The battery is dead
The phone has been turned off
The phone is no longer connected to the cellular network or a WiFi network
The Find my iPhone service has been turned off
The phone has been wiped.
The bottom line is, it means you're probably never going to be able to locate it unless you can physically find it.

Are you running Firefox in Windows 95 or 98 compatibility mode?
Mozilla/5.0 ('''Windows NT 4.0'''; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Firefox won't install on Windows NT 4.0 - so something is changing your useragent and saying that your operating system is like 20 years old.
Right-click your Firefox desk-top shortcut and select Properties. Then open the Compatibility tab and look at '''Compatibility mode''' - un-check that box if it has a check-mark.
