Adobe Captivate 4/5 Review Area Problem

When reviewing a quiz the message, whether it be the "your answer is correct" or "your answer is incorrect" does not seem to appear where i want it to.
When I move the review area the messages do not seem to move accordingly.
This is the screen for a correct message. As you can see the review message is in a good location.
However the Fail message does not appear in the same area as you can see
I have tried moving the review area around, changing the text size, style and size however this doesnt seem to work.
I have also tried a number of methods suggested on here such as:
Removing the default captions and adding in a invisible text caption. Although this works, it doesnt work if you use a random question slide, nor does it provide the user with the correct answer like the above method
I have also tried to insert an enter before the success message to bring it down one line. This does an satisfactory job but inserts a square in to show the return.
Is there another way this can be resolved? Possibly changing the dreamweaver code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer - Use agreement error

I've been using the Quiz Results Analyzer for a few months, but yesterday I encountered the folowing error message when I tried to log on:
"User has not accepted terms of use agreement."
I understand the intent of the message, but I don't understand how I could have installed/updated Captivate without accepting the terms of use.
I've tried reinstalling the Quiz Results Analyzer, resetting my support password, and updating all my Adobe programs, but the error continues.
If anybody has any ideas I'd love to hear them because my courses are useless if I can't see my learners' quiz results anymore!

Sachin at the Adobe Captivate Support desk solved this problem for me. I just had to log on to the Acrobat site (not Adobe!) and accept the terms and conditions agreement. Thanks Sachin!

Adobe Captivate has stopped working -- BEX64 error

After completely maxing out my hard drive (ouch!) while running Adobe Captivate 7, I am no longer able to launch Captivate. I receive the following error message:
Adobe Captivate has stopped working.

I've seen a few threads on this Problem Event Name, but the fixes don't appear to work in this case. Perhaps because of what triggered this error?

Contacted Adobe Support. This was an easy fix for Mayank.
He navigated to Users\Venderley\AppData\Local\Adobe. There he found the Captivate 7.0 folder and renamed it "Captivate 7.0_old"
Did the same Users\Venderley\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Captivate 7.0.
Then ran Captivate on my laptop as an administrator.
Captivate reset all my preferences, and now launches.
Hope the this helps anyone else who comes up with a similar issue.

Converting Oracle UPK files to Adobe Captivate

Hello, my company needs to convert Oracle UPK files into Adobe Captivate files. We are changing systems and we don't want to remake all of our training simulations again. Does anyone know of a software program that can convert upk files into adobe captivate files?(basically, dhtml(for upk) into swf(for captivate).
Also, I've read the captivate uses cptx and upk uses odarc, these would be the collection of individual files that make up swf and dhtml, respectively...I assume. Any converter for any of these files would be nice?

I've never heard of a converter to do this. I hate to break the bad news, but if Captivate is your desired tool, then you'll just need to recreate your courses in Cp.

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

Adobe Captivate 4 & Adobe Reviewer

We are trying to share Adobe Captivate files using Adobe Reviewer, and while I am able to send it to colleagues and have them open the files, when they click the "Save" button in the Captivate Reviewer, I am not able to see the comments. Instead, they have to send me the .xml files which I then have to import. Is this a bug of some sort, or are we doing something wrong?
Thank you.
Jeffrey

Apparently, that is by design. I was having the same problem and when I looked in Adobe Captivate Reviewer help, it indeed specified that the .xml file is what reviewers should sent to the author.

Multiple reviewers cannot open CREV files in Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 after the first review

We are using Captivate 4.0 with Captivate Reviewer 1.0 for review and comments. The problem we are having just started within the last month...
We place the CREV file and folder on the network so that multiple reviewers can access. All have Adobe Captivate Reviewer 1.0 installed.
When the first person opens the CREV file, they are told that the folder is already in use, and that they must create another.
Once a new folder is created a user may open the CREV file and make comments and save them. However, subsequent reviewers cannot open the CREV file to add their comments. Subsequent reviewes must create anothe folder and then they can open and review the file and add comments.
However, because the CREV file is now saving comments in a different folder, reviewers cannot see each others comments. The last module we did where everthing worked correctly and multiple reviewers could open and comment the same file without any issues was about one month ago on 07/29. We have no idea if something has changed since then that would render Captivate Reviewer 1.0 inoperable, but we'd like to see if anyone else has seen and/or resolved this issue...
Thanks,
James

No, I've had WIndows 7 since it was released through MSDN. Adobe Captivate 4, released in January 2009, was the most recent version of Captivate available when Windows 7 was released to MSDN and Technet subscribers in August 2009. Captivate 5 was not released until May 2010, almost 9 months after Windows 7 was released to the public.
Captivate 4 has a message at startup mentioning that one should run it as administrator, which is a Windows 7 feature involving User Account Control. We bought it sometime after Windows 7 was released but before Captivate 5 was released, otherwise we would have bought Captivate 5.
Captivate 4 has worked for us on Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. For it to work on Windows Vista and up, we had to make sure a particular update was applied.
The problem is that it works when it feels like it, and the rest of the time it just freezes at startup. Deleting the app data folder seemed to help, so perhaps it had issues with state corruption. These issues have plagued this application from day 1 on every OS we've used it on.

Captivate 5.5 Review message no longer wraps in Review area caption box

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I logged it as a bug when someone else in my company reported the same issue to me. I searched for it on the Internet and didn't get any hits. We tested to see if it was just for converted projects from 4 to 5.5 or for new ones as well. It's not working for new ones. This problem did not exist in version 5.
Basically the text won't wrap so the text displays completely across the screen (no matter what size the Review Area caption size is), cutting off the text at both ends for longer feedback messages.
Workaround: You can work around this issue by forcing a carriage return in your feedback messages by pressing Enter at an appropriate place in the message. You'll probably have to fool around with that a bit to determine the best place.

So, here is my workaround:
On the Quiz Review slide, I created two captions, one for passing, and one for failing. I set both of them to be hidden. I then created a conditional Advanced Action called ExamCaption and set one expression to show the Pass Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was above or at my passmark, and set another expression to show the Fail Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was below my pass mark. I also set each expression to hide the other non applicable caption for good measure.
I set the On Enter action to ExamCaption for this slide.
Reading Lilybiri's blog, I also replaced the Captivate Pass/Failure captions with just a space for each, so that nothing is shown.
Only problem is, the captions fade out after 3 seconds, the duration of the slide, despite being set to No Transition. I therefore increased the length of the slide to 60 seconds. If anyone has a better workaround, please let me know.
Hope that helps!

I hope you can help me. I purchased adobe captivate 8 on line and when I click on the email link to download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64 bit and some are not, my computer is 32 bit. I am not sure which of these 7 to download? All or just

I hope you can help me. I purchased adobe captivate 8 on line and when I click on the email link to download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64 bit and some are not, my computer is 32 bit. I am not sure which of these 7 to download? All or just the 4 non 64 bit?

I tracked down the problem with the download and installation, my windows 7 was missing a file and after reinstalling windows everything worked out. The first 32 bit program in their list was used. I hope this can help others.

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!
Thanks

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
and see for yourself what happends.

I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.

Issue with using Adobe Captivate Review 2.0 software

I have a file that is about 102Meg published that I am sending out for review. I am posting it to location that everyone has access to on our network. The issue I am having is kind of odd. If you install the Captivate Review software on a new machine you can review the .crev file add comments and save just fine. If you close the programm you can not get the software to open the file again. If you go to a different machine and install the software you can review the file again. We are running 32bit Windows XP with duo cpu @ 2.66Ghz and 4 Gigs of Ram on our engineering computers. If we publish a small file size it does not seem to be an issus. Has anyone else run into this issue?

No, but I would really appreciate it if you could report this to the Adobe Captivate team using the web address I have included below.

Installation Problems with Adobe Captivate 6 Subscription

I am running Windows 7 (64 bit). I have a subscription to Adobe Captivate 6 and successfully downloaded the files. However, when trying to install I am running into problems. I have 3 options (install with serial number, start my subscription, install trial). I have tried both the subscription and the trial. It says it needs to sign in with my Adobe ID, however the spinning wheel goes and goes for about 1 minute and finally comes back and tells me it can't sign in because either I'm not connected to the internet or my clock settings are wrong. I AM connected to the internet and my clock settings ARE correct. Help!
When I manually log into my Adobe account, I see a serial number listed with my Captivate subscription. Can I just install with that serial number? Or is there something with the Windows firewall blocking my ability to install this subscription?

Hi LReagan6Sigma,

    Close the Creative Cloud application.
    Navigate to the OOBE folder.
    Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
    Delete the opm.db file.
    Launch Creative Cloud.
Solution 2: Reset the Hosts file.
    Choose Start > Run, type %systemroot% \system32\drivers\etc, and then press Enter.
    Right-click the hosts file and select Open. Select Notepad for the application to open the hosts file.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference Adobe (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you.
Arnaud.
