Bizarre crashing with Multiple Monitors in Win 7 64-bit.

Oct 31, 2009 10:33 PM

I am running InDesign CS 4.0.2 ME (4.0.4 has yet to be released) with 4 monitors running on 2 nvidia cards. I am having the most bizarre behaviour. After rebooting the computer, ID crashes on starting. The only way to get it to work is to first disable the second card, then it loads fine, the reenable the second card. ID will open and close without any problem until I reboot again!

 

This is really strange.

 

I used to have a similar problem on Vista where if ID was maximised on start it wouldn't load so I had to make the preference be that it didn't open full screen (1920 x 1200) and then it would work.

 

It seems that Adobe would prefer us all to work on XP with a 17" monitor.

 

On a similar front, in 64-bit Windows 7, the ID icon doesn't show. It's just a blank icon. The book icon works, as does, .idml etc., but an .indd simply doesn't appear in purple. This is unique to 64-bit Win 7, because under 32-bit it works fine.

 

Most bizarre and quite irritating!

    All I can tell you is that I don't see this issue with the standard version of InDesign.

     

    It sounds to me like a video card/driver issue and that's where I'd be concentrating my efforts.
