Adobe Captivate 4 - Flash Not Installed Error

We are using Adobe Captivate 4 on Windows 7.  Since the Microsoft Windows Updates around January 8, we are unable to open Adobe Captivate 4.  We get the message that the Flash Player is to be installed and the application shuts down after the message that an Internet connection is required.  I have followed the steps on the Adobe Help page:  Error: "Adobe Flash Player is not currently installed" when you start Adobe Captivate with no success.  I have even uninstalled Adobe Captivate 4, reinstalled it and followed the instructions on the aforementioned Help page.  No luck.  I am running Firefox and Internet Explorer and IE is the default browser.  Adobe Captivate 4 acts as though it cannot connect to the Adobe Flash website, but I already have the most current Flash Player installed.  We use Adobe Captivate 4 primarily for Quizzes since we can effectively e-mail the results to trainers. We do have Adobe Captivate 7 and the Quiz Results e-mail feature does not send the results; only a blank e-mail shell.  Is there any solution to this Captivate 4 problem?

Unfortunately, that is not an option.   I work for a state government and the computers are locked down for security reasons.  Updates are handled by an IT group and pushed out to all state computers.  We were running Flash Player 10 and everything worked fine until the Flash Player Update was pushed out as a Microsoft Update on January 8th.  There have been subsequent "Security Updates" to the Flash Player pushed out via Microsoft and none have corrected the problem.  Even if I could uninstall the current Flash Player and install an older version, it would just be updated to the current Flash Player tonight.

    Cannot embed pdfs in Word doc which are PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x) [This is associated with Adobe Reader 9]. Getting 'program not installed' error.
    Pdfs with other versions are okay:
    Tested successfully with Adobe Pro 9 (Version 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)), Reader X (Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x)) and XI (Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x))
    Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
    Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
    Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
    Thank you,
    Louise.

  • Why do I get window adobe flash' NOT INSTALLED AFTER I HAVE JUST UNINSTALLED AND THEN REINSTALLED IT

    why do I get a "correct version of adobe flash not installed"message after I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program several times.  It worked on this computer for the last six months?

    What is your operating system, version & edition?
    What is your web browser?
    What is your Flash Player version?
    What are you doing when you get that message?

    Brand spanking new installation of the trail version of Captivate 5.5.
    Try to open a file a client sent to me.

    Adobe Captivate could not open "the file" Ensure that:
    -The files is not open already
    - The file is not damanged.

    Researched the blog and tried 2 suggestions:
    1. Clearing the cache. Did not work. I do not have a cache folder. I haven't created a Captivate 5.5 project. I'm just trying to open a file sent to me.
    2. Tried deleted bak file. Didn't work. Captivate 5 keeps recreating the file.
    Other facts:
    Other people have been able to download the trial version and open the file.
    I have Captivate 4 on my machine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I'm experiencing about the same problem:
    I made a software demo using Macromedia Captivate on computer 1 en sent it by e-mail to computer 2.
    On computer 2 I installed a Captivate 5.5 trial and I want to open the file in 5.5.
    The file is not locked as far as I know (I right-clicked the file > properties > unlock)
    I do have sufficiënt available space and resources. The file contains 135 slides but is not too large as I tried to do the same thing with a 50-slide file > same error message.
    I tried creating a new blank project > I copied the slides into the blank project, saved again on a local drive, sent it to computer 2 again, but same error message.
    Please help, I'm getting desperate.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader Not Installed.

    Trying to open link to pdf file from IE8 using Windows 7 64bit and pdf file will not open "adobe acrobat reader not installed".  Yet I can open PDF files outside of IE8.  Adobe Reader X is installed.  Have tried remvoving, reinstalling, running app as admin.  Have tried different version of Adobe Reader and same error.  This same link works fine when opened with Google Chrome.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for posting the image.
    Could you please confirm if you receive this error while opening any PDF? Could you try opening: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83708/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.1.pdf
    Do you receive the same issue?

  • "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly"

    Has a fix been found yet for this damn annoying problem.
    I get this message regularly on my Mac G5, Leopard 10.5.2. I must have reinstalled the program about 5 times by now. It works properly for a few days, then this-
    "Adobe Acrobat could not install correctly"
    "A required component was not found, please restore the Adobe Acrobat folder from your original CD".
    Doing a forum search, I noticed people were having this same problem as far back as October 2007. Has it been resolved yet, and if so how?

    I discovered that when I initially install Acrobat it works fine. However, after I run the program Monolingual, which removes languages and architectures that my Intel Mac does not require, Acrobat has this exact failure.
    I went to Monoligual's website and in their FAQ's they address this issue. (http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/faq.php) You simply need to add the Acrobat folder (/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional) to the Monolingual preferences list and then uncheck both boxes. Also, with Acrobat Professional 8.1.4 you need to add the folder /Library/Printers/PPDs to the list and uncheck both boxes, because Monoligual will delete four Asian Language folders from this folder and Acrobat will give you an error if they are not there.
    So, if you use Monolingual, or some other program that removes languages and architectures, this might be your solution.

  • Adobe CS3 - Server 2008 Install Error

    I am in the process of transitioning our organization to a cloud server running Windows Server 2008 x64. I would like to be able to install Creative Suite 3 Design Premium on the new server. I have attempted the install but get the following error at the beginning before the installation will ever really get started "Critical errors were found in setup. Please see the setup log for details". Therefore, I am not able to even start the install.
    I have tried for several hours to research on the web but have not found any definite answer. It does appear that CS3 is not supported by Adobe on Server 2008. Has any one had any luck getting it to install properly on Server 2008? If not CS3, will any of the newer version work on Server 2008 should I choose to upgrade to a newer Adobe product?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance that might be provided. I greatly appreciate it.
    Todd

    Thank you very much for your assistance. I really appreciate it.

  • Adobe Air will not install. Prior to attempted reinstall, it would not update.

    Adobe Air will not install / reinstall. Prior to attempt to reinstall, it would not update. The automatic "update now" button was greyed out, but the "update later" button was active.

    Here is what my system administrator wrote:
    1. Right-Click on the installer, clicked 'Show Package
    Contents' and attempted to install from the MasOS folder. This
    provided an interesting error in the terminal window, however still
    did not install.
    2. From there, I opened 'Console' (found in Applications
    --> Utilities) and dug through the install error logs. Pinned
    the issue down to AIR trying to update / use files that were
    already in use.
    3. Restarted the computer under the primary admin account
    (the account used to setup the computer) and installed successfully
    from there.

  • 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!

  • "Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device ..."

    Adobe Captivate shows my Snowflake USB microphone but doesn't record sound from it. When I choose Calibrate I get "Adobe Captivate could not detect a recording device". However, I can record from the microphone in all my other apps (Rosetta Stone, Sony SoundForge, etc.), so I know it's not a hardware issue.
    When I go to "Sound" in Vista Pro's "Sound" option on control panel the Microphone is chosen as the default recording device, and I see the bars moving up and down when I talk.
    What can I do to get "Captivate" to see the Mic?
    A temporary workaround I found is to plug the Microphone into my laptop, then select SPDIF in as the input source. Captivate still gives the "... could not detect a recording device..." error, but the sound records anyway. This is kludgy, however.

    Hi there
    You may well just be out of luck. I heard Captivate 2 and Vista Pro used together. I don't believe Captivate was fully compliant with Vista until version 3. So that may explain things.
    Unless someone pops in with a better idea, you should be able to record the audio separately, save as WAV or MP3 and import into your slides.
    Cheers... Rick

    Which operating system are you running? It might still be running in the background. You may want to check your Task Manager or Activity Monitor. Or better yet, if you feel uncomfortable with that, try logging out of your user account, then back in. That might kill any stray processes.

  • Adobe captivate data not sending at the end of webinar. Is the adobe server still down?

    Adobe captivate data not sending at the end of webinar. Reads "unknown error." Is the adobe server still down? This has been ongoing all of july 2014.

    So the engineer came and, of course, everything was working ok. He did fit some kind of RF filter on my main socket, and 'changed the pair' on one of the outside cables. Since then, I've only had a noisy line once, and seem to have been connected for 3 days solid, which is a record!
    I've switched back to my BT Home hub 3, which guavas me more stats. The line has previously given me up to 6mb/s, now only getting 1.6.
    Do you think, now the line seems more stable, with the stats below I should be able to maintain a higher speed now?

  • RE: : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" error - fixed for me.

    To anyone receiving the POST error : "AEC-6880 BIOS not install" on a 645Max2, my problem was a dead Maxtor Plus9 disk.  
    Both disks in the mirror array were brand new 80GB parts, within three days i was getting the BIOS not installed error instead of the Acard utility telling me one of the disks was bad.  Pretty major ehh?!!
    I removed the dead disk and managed rescue the data from the working disk, so don't reformat them before you've checked that both disks are good!
    Hope someone out there finds that useful.

    Welcome to the Club! Got the same Problem and had a really hard time reaching the Customer Support because they were down due to maitenance! Just wrote to their experts chat and hope to get an answer in this life!
    I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
    I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!
