Adobe Captivate freezes- Doesn't show Slide Images

I'm getting a frequently occuring error where Adobe Captivate freezes  and no longer shows the captured animations of the slides, only the  mouse movements. Then if I try to save, it looks like it is saving, but  does nothing. Then if I wait a bit longer, the entire application locks  up, and I can't do anything. This is not an issue with the file being  too big, because I only have about 25 slides, and the file is only about  50MB large. Also, I have 8GB of RAM, of which only 4GB is being used.  What could be causing this issue?

Hi there
What version of Captivate are you using? Where exactly are you attempting to save? Captivate projects don't like it when you save them and edit them while they are placed on a network drive. So if your project is on a network drive you should move it to your local C drive.
Cheers... Rick

  • Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

    Adobe Download Assistant doesn't show me CS6 Design Standard as an option. Why?

    Hi Elliot, the link that I had no longer works. Apparently we are not alone in this. I got the link by going to Adobe Support and starting a chat with an Adobe rep. I believe that I went through a series of windows under CS6 Design Standard and clicked a button that said, "I still need help." I think that started the chat. Good luck!

  • Aperture 3 Import Dialog Doesn't Show Any Images

    Sometimes the import dialog just doesn't show any images. First time I encountered this I had to restart Aperture. But now even that doesn't help.
    Screenshot:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1250153/a3.png
    Any ideas or fixes?

    Hello qua
    You don't say what your source is when your imports have been experiencing problems. Are you importing directly from a camera (or a card in a card reader)? Or are you importing images which have already been downloaded to your hard disk?
    I've just completed importing approximately 5,000 images which date back to 2001, across several hundred projects. These have, obviously, been imported from an existing disk-based archive. Every so often, I'd find what you've described - the import window with the source correctly selected, but no preview images. I never worked out a pattern for this behaviour. However, I found dealing with it +for my particular circumstances+ was as simple as pressing <escape> to cancel the import and then immediately beginning the import again. It never failed on the second time around. I never needed (for this problem) to quit and restart Aperture, let alone reboot my system.
    The problem I just described was being experienced on a fully patched 3.0.1 system. Of course, you might be experiencing something slightly different...

  • I can't watch movies, it is asking for latest adobe flash. After updating adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

    The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
    Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"...

  • Adobe Captivate freezes when I try to save, delete a screen, import a slide, etc...

    Hi all,
    Big problem here. I am using Cap 5.5...things were working relatively fine. Tried to import one PPT slide into a small 15 screen project and it froze. I can only get out through the Task Mgr (CTRL + ALT + DEL and delete task). I tried clearing the cache under preferences but the YES button freezes - the window just stays open!
    Same thing happens when I do most anything now, delete a screen, publish...seems like anytime a pop-up window appears with info or instruction Captivate freezes and none of the buttons to exit/cancel work. I can't save or do any work.
    What can be the problem? I am using Windows 7.
    Thanks so much! S

    Another possibility.  Were you by any chance using a multiple monitor setup before and now you're using a single monitor or a different multi-monitor setup?
    If so, your 'unresponsive' Captivate might actually be due to this.  You cannot see another modal dialog that has opened because it's opening off screen (where Captivate thinks the monitor is located).
    To test if this is the issue, next time it goes unresponsive, hit the Escape key to see if you get back control. 

  • Exporting file as .doc doesn't show attached image

    I need to create a combined cover letter/resume as a Word doc. So I created a file in Pages with my cover letter and attached a pdf resume image. I created the resume in Illustrator and then saved the Illustrator file as a pdf. This image shows up fine in Pages file. I then Exported the Pages file as a Word doc, but when I go to view the Word doc or when I email the file to others, the attached pdf image doesn't show. I thought maybe I needed to embed the pdf image for it to show up in the Word doc, but can't find any info about it on the web. I really want to use the file I created in Illustrator because it contains some graphics that pertain to some of my skills listed in the resume. Any information would help.

    Welcome to the forum.
    What do you mean by "attached"?
    In Pages you just drag the .pdf into the page and it appears as a graphic and that exports correctly to Word in a quick test I have just done.

  • After downloading adobe flash it doesn't show up on my computer!

    I keep downloading flash and it says it has been downloaded succesfully but when I go to find it on my computer it doesn't show up anywhere. I'm trying to watch videos and cant because it says I need to download flash but for some reason it isn't working. My computer runs on windows 7.

    I have to say i'm super frustrated with this as well. I flushed the computer clean so once reloading a bunch of stuff back on the computer adobe flash player was one of the things I had to put back on. The reader went on fine saved to my desktop ok. The flash player is far from as simple to get on there as you'd think. At least not smoothly. I use windows 7 (Interet explorer 9)  and avast. It "says" it installs sucessfully yet the only place I can find it when it was SUPPOSED to be saved to the desktop is in the uninstall programs list. I think its installed on my computer now after checking a bunch of forums and trying different things (diasabling this and that)  to try to figure out whats going on.  It shows up on this page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html  .... Anyways I spent wayyyyyyyyyy too much time on something that should and use to be so simple. Clearly im not the only one having this problem. I think something needs to be done for people to be able to download this with less hassle and headaches.  avast+IE9+Windows 7+trying to download adobe flash =

  • Lightroom 3.3 doesn't show all images of a folder

    I have used Lightroom since version 1.0 and at the moment I am using v3.3.
    Now I have following problem and I can't find a solution for it:
    In the Navigator I have synchronized my complete folder where I store all of my photos. This folder contains more than 50000 photos already in many subfolders. But now I found some subfolders not showing all their content. I can see in the Navigator e.g. 216 pictures beside the folder name but in the preview I can see only 3 pictures! And I found some more folders which doesn't show their full content.
    I tried to sychronize the single folder again but Lightroom says there were no new pictures and also no missing pictures to remove from the folder. If I open the folder by the Windows Explorer then I can see that all the files for the 216 pictures are there! So there must be a problem with the lightroom database!
    But now I don't know what to do to get the pictures displayed in the library again.
    I would appreciate any idea regarding this problem.
    Best regards,
    Jochen

    LOL!  Sorry, the login details I gave you were to the public upload, which then get hidden so no one else can download your files.  I can see you're busy uploading ok, so I'll take a proper look in a bit.  No I don't need the previews, just the cataog and a few problem files is great.
    Ok, when the uploads are finished then you will have my current database, a screenshot of Lightroom which show no pictures in the library (and the preview) of a folder (all filters off, tried to synchronize already,) but it shows clearly that there are 31 pictures in the folder normally.
    I also uploaded some of the pictures of this folder.
    In past I could see the pictures in Lightroom - I can remember that.
    Thanks and best regards,

  • Aperture 2 doesn't show my images unless I filter "Show all"

    Hi,
    I am using Aperture 2.1.4 in Snow Leopard with a fairly big photo library (4,000+ images).
    If I look in any project or folder and filter by 'Unrated or Better' or with any * rating it does not show any of my images. The only way I can display my images is to filter by "Showing all" when it shows every images in the project/folder. Smart folders, MobileMe folders, etc all exhibit the same behaviour.
    Many of my images are rated images and many are unrated and as far as I can tell, I have no other filters in place. I am at a complete loss as to what is causing this, re-installing Aperture had no effect, it appeared to start with Snow Leopard but I am not sure as I haven't used Aperture for a while.
    Starting with 'command-option' held down and repair seems to hang but maybe I am just not patient enough to let it complete.

    Tried rebuild again and it worked, strange. Please ignore this thread.

  • Safari 5 doesn't show all images on a webpage

    Hi,
    I'm using Safari 5, and my Safari doesn't always show all the images on a webpage but shows a "blue question mark" instead of an image. sometime when I try to reload the webpage, the image (that was a blue question mark) appears but some other images become the "blue question mark".
    The "Display images when the page opens" checkbox is checked, the connection has no problems…
    I've tried on Safari 5 on my PC, and it doesn't have this problem, all the images loaded well. The problem seems like only appears in Safari on Mac.
    it's really annoying…
    Any idea, please.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. Try loading a page now. If you still have problems...
    Web pages include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Relaunch Safari and try again. If that didn't help...
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    If nothing above helps, login to another user account and try Safari there. If you have problems with pages loading correctly there, then it's a system wide problem. Hopefully not.

  • LibreOffice 4.2.2 (and 4.1.5) help doesn't show various images

    Have upgraded to the libreoffice-xxxx-4.2.2-1-x86_64 packages, and found that various images in Help are missing, showing just a box with the text 'vnd.sun.st' (or is it 'wnd.sun.st' - poor definition) within.
    For example, look in the Index for Format Paintbrush, and 3 images are missing on the first page.
    Anyone else seeing this problem?
    Edit: Problem also occurs with 4.1.5, but didn't notice.

    looks like the target image file is sth like

    (I just picked the first image I came across). The file
    /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/config/images_tango.zip
    exists, but the
    /res/helpimg/warning.png
    doesn't exit within that .zip. No idea why…

  • Safari doesn't show slide show

    Safari only loads the first picture of my slide show on the home page ( www.ballardsheetmetal.com ). This slide show works fine on IE and used to work on Safari. Any suggestions on how to fix this or is it just a Safari glitch?
    Thanks in advance!

    BTW, If the slide show works for you at the above url, you can download the source code here...
    <http://tomx.890m.com/Ballard-Sheet-Metal.zip>
    The page on my site has your BASE url in the HEAD, so it doesn't pass validation at W3C.
    I removed the BASE url and zipped your page so it validates.

  • OS X Yosemite with Adobe Illustrator CC doesn't show live corners or curve handles

    After updating to Yosemite, my Illustrator no longer shows me the live corners handle. Even when I click on an object it will not show the points or the curve handles on the vector shape.

    Did you reinstall your Adobe apps after updating to 10.10? If not, do so now probably running the cleaner tool in between.
