When I go to launch the InDesign program, it starts to load then stalls at the Starting Up Service Registry point and won't finish loading.  I've tried to reinstall but it made no difference. How can I fix this?

    We need to know at least some system information. this could be anything from a simple plug-in loading error to a font or a print setting... in any case, delete the preferences in your user home directory and try again.

    • I'm running an Alienware M17XR3 with Intel Core i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz, 8 GB of Ram on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. I've had to uninstall the InDesign program since it was failing to finish loading and started to cause general problems with my computer and other programs. After uninstalling and selecting to include preferences in the uninstall then deleting C:\Users\(my user name)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign file, I reinstalled the program from Adobe Application Manager and its still not loading completely.
    • This is where it stops and sits forever. Why won't it finish loading?

    This can be caused by lack of permissions on the account (try launching from an account with admin privileges at least once) and by the default printer being offline.
