InDesign CS4 is not available by default programs dialog box

I am running w/Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista on a Dell computer. The computer had versions of Adobe InDesign CS3 and CS4 installed. I uninstalled CS3, but now, when I double click on any file *.indd Windows application which program use to open the file. InDesign CS4 (and many other installed programs) do not appear in the default programs dialog box. I find using the Browse button, but when I select, and then click 'Open' computer still does not appear in the dialog box window. How can I get Windows to see all programs, so that I can associate extensions with appropriate applications? I can open the files in InDesign CS4, but not by double-clicking on the file. Right now, all my obtained .indd files associated with DreamWeaver CS3.

Hello Heather M DaVinci.

Click the number of the KB article to bring up a Microsoft article on the configuration of the default associations. There is an automatic for FIXIT
Windows Vista.
Article KB 950505: when you run an .exe file on a Windows Vista or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start another program

If this does not help, I post in the Community Forums of Adobe for InDesign CS4.

  • Stop, reboot is not available on the stop dialog box

    I have a XP SP3 box that does not "Shutdown" or "Restart" as options in the shutdown dialog box (the box that you see when you click on stop in the start menu.)  The only option available is to disconnect.  I see no issues update, AV is up to date.  The machine is part of a domain, but I checked the local security and domain strategies to see if 'hide closed' was enabled, but it wasn't.

    Any ideas as to the cause?  Thank you.

    I had a similar problem. I found a solution through SevenForums: the link below has a REG file download that fixed this easily (option 1).

    He added the controls in the registry. After the merger of the file with regedit and reboot, the buttons have been restored in the Start Menu.

  • Adobe Indesign CS4 will not work with windows 7, work stoppage

    InDesign CS4 does not work with Windows 7

    InDesign CS4 stop working on Windows 7, we have Vb 6 application that opens Indesign cs4 to create multi-page document.

    but after a few Indesign CS4 pages stop working, if we run the same with version CS3 on Windows 7 it works fine.

    and if we use Indesign CS4 with Windows Xp, it works but create problem with Windows 7.

    You must have a configuration problem on your system.

    6 inDesign (CS4) works perfectly well on the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 versions. Many users as same Adobe employees use or have used this version of InDesign in these environments of operating system without problem that it is associated with the operating system.

  • My copy of Adobe InDesign cs4 will not open a regular idml file.

    I opened my document, and said it was "impossible to open the file"Tightsketch_charrette2.idml". "Adobe InDesign may not supported file format, a plug-in that supports the file format's may be missing, or the file can be opened in another application" I tried to open the other idmls that I knew were not corrupt and I received the same message. I checked the plugins, they are all turned on.  I quit all other programs, no luck.  I rebooted the macbook, no luck once again.  I could receive assistance?  My Indesign cs4 is fully updated and Im having all these problems.

    I have good news and bad news.

    The good news is that the file opens correctly here in CS5.5 and CS4. The bad news is that this means that there is a problem with your CS4.

    I would start by trashing preferences. It's quick, easy to make and not too destructive, and if you're lucky, it will be able to solve the problem, but I would not put the chances of success more than 50-50. See replace your preferences

    You have a Time Machine backup? If you do, the next thing I'd like to try restoring the application folder InDesign from a time before the problem started.

    If all else fails, it's probably time to bite the bullet and get out of the installer. First try to run an installation to 'fix' on top of what's there. If this, too, goes down, then I would like to uninstall CS4, run the CS5 own tool (which can also clean up to CS4 - see resolve installation problems with the cleanup of CS5 tool), and then restart the computer and reinstall. If you have any custom stuff you must make copies of things like shortcut games and workspaces that you can replace as explained in the thread about resetting the prefs.

  • InDesign publication is not available online (2015.4)

    Someone else upgraded to Indesign 2015.4 and get an error when trying to publish online? I now see a window saying "" error #0: publish online is currently not available for your organization "I work in a University using education licenses if it makes a difference. "

    Hi Saeed,

    You should contact your local administrator, managing your account, to enable the service to publish online.

    In addition, your students will have their Adobe ID, license after the expiry of the trial period, to continue to work with Adobe InDesign.

    If you want to just use the URL of the document published for the purpose of teaching, you can publish online using your Adobe ID first instance and use the URL generated. Currently, there is no deadline for this URL. However, you will not be able to publish online, after the expiration of your trial period.

    On the other hand, if you want your students to publish InDesign online, they can do that during the trial period, but not after that. InDesign should be allowed after the expiry of the trial period.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Aditi

  • InDesign CS4 do not place a word document

    Hello

    I just had to InDesign CS4 installed on my computer at work. The installation went perfectly, and I was able to open InDesign files with no problems at all. But when I tried to put a word document in one of these formats:

    1. 2010 (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt)
    2. same formats of 2007

    He gave me the following error message:

    either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application

    I went into the system to see if all this relates to this specific word file is open - nothing. I made sure there is no open files office.

    If this problem is already solved, please excuse the duplication and if possible I would like to have a link to the thread.

    Thanks for your help.

    In general this error appears when the file is opened. Perhaps the temporary Word file has not deleted properly when closing.

  • InDesign CS4 does not work after I migrated to a new Mac!

    Please, please. Someone say there is a way to download and the older version of Adobe. I tried to help on YouTube. Migration has worked on the rest of the components of CS4, but not Indeisgn. Thank you very much.

    Application migration is not a reliable method.  You must install.

    You can download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

    Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

  • Lightroom 5.0 does not automatically open the import dialog box when the inserted memory card

    Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect the memory card and import dialog box open. It has always worked well in Lightroom 2, 3 and 4.  Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OSX 10.8.4. Manual import works OK, the card is detected fine.

    Thank you very much, this TOTALLY WORKED for me.  Win 10, LR 5.7.1.  An inserted SD card of Nikon D7000 in the SD card reader built-in to laptop and Windows automatically started both Lightroom AND automatically went straight into LR import feature.  Perfect.

    (However, if LR is already running, insert the card SD initiates not import feature, despite having turned on the required checkbox in the preferences.)  Nevertheless, it is progress!   :-)

  • PS CS4 Actions - insertion of a pop-up dialog box

    I think I've seen this before in a Photoshop action. During the action (maybe it was at the end), a dialog box appears with the copyright information (or something in that sense) of the creator of this action. What I would like is to be able to create an action and have a small pop window - up appears (until the action starts) which would contain notes (notes custom from me) this action works. There are a lot of actions in which I do, but only use every two months. These actions have usually stops them where I have to adjust the dimensions. I wish I could create a pop-up dialog (early action) which would contain the types of notes. Otherwise, I have to go back to handwritten notes in which I did (that's if I can find these notes).

    Is it still possible?

    You can Stop into the wheel of the Panel menu actions, type your message (anything you care to type) and check allow to continue.

    Dialog box during the execution of the action, before the action to do anything:

  • All of a sudden is not opening the Camera RAW dialog box.

    Hi all, yesterday I managed to convert RAW files from the bridge in CR5 Tiff files without problem. Today, when I'm trying to do, the Image Processor dialog box does not appear. Any help out there? I get a message "initial request for the bridge is not active and must be started at least once"... huh?

    Okay, I provide my own solution... I had a previous bridge from adobe installed as a trial version still on my computer. Once I uninstalled the bridge worked raw file interface.  You would think that since the versions were named differently Adobe could not understand how to solve problems like that. Sheesh a waste of half a day.
