Has anyone had a similar experience?

You can get an extra file Jul 16, 2006

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.

Here's how to get the add-on Jul 16, 2006

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.
