can't autoactivate fonts in InDesign CS4

Hi,

All our designers have been using Lintotype Font Explorer X v1.2.3 with CS2 through to CS4.
It's free and autoactivates fonts for InDesign excellently.
However, Lintotype stopped developing the free version of FEX and created FEX Pro. This included autoactivation plugins for CS4.The free version of FEX did not have plugins for CS4.
I browsed the resource contents of FEX Pro and found the CS4 plugs, copied the one for Indesign CS4 into the IDCS4 Plug-Ins folder. Voila ! font autoactivation now works in IDCS4 with the free version of FEX. This works a treat UNLESS you log onto the Mac using a network account. Logging in using local account works fine.
With an AD bound Mac, logging onto the network account and opening an Indesign CS4 documents causes InDesign CS4 to close partway through opening the document. No error is displayed. I found it is related to the FEX CS4 plug-in as when this is removed from the plugins folder the document opens OK albeit without the fonts.
When you attempt to open the Indesign doc for the 2nd time, InDesign attempts to recover it.
I opened up the Console when this occured and there was an entry saying soething about semaphore, access denied etc etc

Does anybody else here use Linotype Font Explorer X with Adobe CS4 ?

1. Download the Fontexplorer Pro version; open the image
2. Choose view package and go to Resources, Plugins
3. Get the CS4 plugins and copy them to your desktop. (.zip files)
4. Now unmount & throw the pro-version away
5. Unpack the zipped files and put the plugins in the program-plugin-folders
6. Restart Linotype and your other to-be-font-managed-programs and you have it all working

Cannot Attach Files in Hotmail

I work in a small office, and one of our agents is having trouble with attaching files in Hotmail in IE. Attachments work just fine in Firefox.

We've had this problem before on another computer, and we took it to a shop to get checked out. The tech said that he disabled an IE add on, and now it works. Unfortunately, he didn't remember which add on it was. I've tried disabling a few, but I haven't had much luck.

Last week, I restored his computer to factory settings because his computer was not functioning. .EXE files would not run. He is an older gentleman and clicks and opens everything. He downloads "free" stuff all the time and doesn't realize all the viruses and spyware that he allows to collect on his computer. Anyways, Windows has updated numerous times in the past few days. Everything seems to be up and running normal.

I have also restored IE8 back to factory settings.

Our agent is using a Dell Inspiron Desktop with Windows Vista and IE8.

When trying to attach an attachment in Hotmail, the attachment link is "disabled." It is un-clickable. It's just text. When you hover over the word "Attachment", it says ;Javascript;

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Difference between processors, and how to choose.

Hi,

I am thinking about getting a new laptop. I see a few that I like, but they have different processors. One has an i3 processor and the other has an i5. I go to the intel site and look up both. They both run about the same speed and have the same amount of threading. So my question is, how should I go about choosing between the two processors? Lets assume that on an average day I will be watching/editing videos, surfing the web, and attending classes online.

Reply 1 : Difference between processors, and how to choose.

See the difference in the links below. (Remember, i5's can be dual core or quad core, and as such, they vary in performance.):

Hope this helps.

How to fix very-minimized window?

I don't know what I did in IE8 (I think I accidentally clicked "cascade windows") to create this problem: When I launch IE, I get a very-minimized window instead of the usual maximized window. I also get a very-minimized window when I click a link which opens in a new window.

I played with Internet Options, but couldn't fix the problem.

I finally downloaded IE9, hoping this would fix the problem. However, the problem remains.

Does someone know how to fix it?

You said in your other thread to ignore this one, so I am locking it;

Help with choosing the right motherboard

hi, just a quick question about LGA775 socket motherboard.

I need to buy a new one, as the old one (P5E3) is having issues, but don't want to change the socket, as my CPU is Q9650 and is sufficient.

So the only requirements are LGA socket 775, DDR3 support in 4 slots, price around 80 EUR/ 70 GBP and brand 99% asus, but would consider Gigabyte too.

so far I found this: ASUS P5P43TD/USB3 (90-MIBA25-G0EAY0GZ)

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=os2nODmMKgOFPCBt

it retails for 77 EUR new.

This is my choice at the moment, so wanted to ask if there's anything better out there that you'd recommend instead.

thanks

Program that hides your screen? (Latitude)

I know that you have this option with dell Control Point where you can only view the screen from straight on.



I need something for use on the plane; can I install this piece of DCP alone and/or is there a program that I can buy that does this for me?
