I have followed all the instructions in the User Guide, but the problem still exists. What am I doing wrong or what is it that I am missing? Please help!!

You can get an extra file

I can't remember the details, but when I got mine about a year ago, I ordered a special file for the Russian language to go with it, simply called "Russian.exe". I don't think there is any extra charge for this. I installed it and have never had any such problem as you describe.

Just been checking up on this. To obtain this file: Go to Abbyy website (there is a link in the Help menu). Click the Downloads tab. Click on Additional recognition languages for Abbyy Fine Reader 8.0. Click on Russian, download & install the file. It is free to owners of AFR 8.0. Hope it helps.

Trial version
Jan 15, 2009
From the description I think you are using a Trial Version of FineReader. I encountered like when my Finereader after crach of computer lost registration info- after entering it anew all went well- but took me some time to figure out the reason, as the program opened as normal, without any warnings about it running in Evaluation Mode.
