ID picks CMYK colors as RGB

$

Hello

 

The problem is: when I try to pick a CMYK color in InDesign, it immediately switches it to RGB. The method I pick the color doesn't matter, even if I pick my color from the swatches (C0, M0, Y0, K100), the object is colored with something like C79 M81 Y80 K100.


For you to realise how much "fun" I am having, I add some pictures

 

type in: C50, M50, Y0, K50

click OK, then immediately double click the color to enter the picker again, and there it is! ...or is it?

select the swatch C0 M0 Y0 K100

I use ID CS2 (running on Windows 8), recently I changed my computer, so, since the CS2 activation server is offline, I was forced to use the installer downloaded from Adobe's website. That's when it started, so either it's a problem with this particular distribution, or I had a setting on my old ID installation I'm not aware of. Either way, the usual "if ID acts strange, trash the preferences" method doesn't apply here.

This is wrong on so many levels I guess I'm missing something obvious. Help!
