Tutorial Builder problems in Win 7 64 bit CS5

Question

I was able to load the Tutorial Builder but it would not save either a before or after image. From reading some of the other comments tried starting CS5 64 as admin and while it did now save the images it would not record tools or steps, only the images. Program is up to date.

Hi Bill,
Can you be more specific about which steps were not recorded?
There some things that will not be recorded. The release notes list some known issues.
Known Issues:
Tutorial Builder can only capture actions in Photoshop that are recorded by the ScriptListener plug-in.  While this includes most of Photoshop's functionality, some features/tools are not recorded.  In particular, brushing actions are not captured.  We hope to address this in future releases of Tutorial Builder.
Some of the the actions that Tutorial Builder captures are not yet instrumented to produce detailed text instructions in the final tutorial.  For such actions, the generated tutorial will include a step that says "The (action name) is not yet supported by Tutorial Builder," and the tutorial author will have to edit the HTML to provide more descriptive text.  Note that the "Show me in Photoshop" link is still generated for such actions.
Some Photoshop actions allow the user to specify a set of parameters in multiple ways, but Tutorial Builder cannot detect how the user specified those settings during the recorded demonstration.  Thus, the text in the generated tutorial may not describe exactly what was demonstrated.  For example, in the Image > Adjustments > Levels tool dialog box, you can update the parameters using three different eye droppers.  Since Tutorial Builder does not know which (if any) of these eye droppers were used, the text for a Levels adjustment does not describe exactly how the settings are specified.  Again, the tutorial author can simply edit the HTML to provide a more accurate description.
Thanks!
