What are your system specs? Version/build of Windows and RAM are the two biggest factors.

If system meets requirements (including RAM, Graphics Card and harddisk space) you will need to have read write priviledges. (Are you the administrator on the computer)- Also there is a check of all fonts, and you may have poorly designed fonts on your computer which hinder InDesign from initialising.

Assuming you have the correct system specs, it might be worth uninstalling every version of InDesign using the Adobe Cleaner Tool and then reinstalling the application(s) again.

Thx for this, it worked but not sustain. I managed to launch indesign twice after doing this. but then the third time, I got the same error message.

Try resetting the InDesign settings back to the factory defaults to see if that helps.
