Captivate 3 in trial not working

hi
im trying to install and run captivate 3 in trial mode and
each time i redownload and try to start it after the setup complete
.. i got 2 option enter a serial number or start it in trial mode
but each time i try to start it it said that i need to reinstall
and or reboot the system wich i did almost 3 time .....
i call adobe and the only thing they can do is to transfert
me to another departement ...
wondering why i can't start it in trial mode .
any help

Hi Kerm007, and welcome to the Captivate user-to-user
community.
I feel badly for you, but this time, you probably should have
taken the transfer to another department. Normally, Adobe does not
give support for the "Trail" version of their software, so if they
offered any help at all, it would have been "special".
It sounds like there might be a Windows Registry entry from a
prior install that is causing your problem - or a plain old
hardware/software problem. Are you running Windows? If so, which OS
version? And - to continue - are you running Windows as the only OS
(as opposed to a separate partition on a "Boot Camp" (Mac) system)?
Are your hardware resources up to minimum requirements? If you
don't know, you can
click
this link to see system requirements
That is about all I can suggest - hope there is some help in
getting you aimed the right direction, at least.

Adobe Captivate 7 Trial Not Working

Hi,
Tried to install the trial of Captivate 7. Crashes the installer application. Tried with both the standard and 64-bit versions. Gives me the following error:
Exception EOIeSysError in module Captivate_7_LS21.exe at 0078181. The system cannot find the file specified.
Both installer files are in the same directory.
Please help.
Regards

Hi there,
Can you try to run the .exe file as administrator (Right click on .exe file and run as admin).
If that does not fix this, then try downloading the installation set up once again and install it from a different user account.
Thanks.

Why does my free trial not work?

Why does my free trial not work? This is intentially misleading.

You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
Adobe trial software expired early
Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

Captivate 7 preloader not working - with screen captures for clarity

Hi Community,
so I'm working in the Captivate 7 trial version, because the preloader for Captivate 6 isn't working for me. We have a ~48MB project with mp3's on almost every slide, flash videos, flash animations, quizzes and plenty of jpegs.
Before we publish the project we make sure we click everything that's needed, but because it's still not working I took screen shots of all the settings. Maybe I'm missing something, I would appreciate your help.
Thank you guys so much!!
Nat

I'm assuming here that your preloader animation is at least appearing when you are loading the file so that you KNOW it IS working.
Try setting your preloader progressively higher until you find the percentage at which the load times start INCREASING again. If you have a lot of videos in your project, setting the preloader at a very low value like 10% doesn't necessarily affect the load times that much because Captivate still has to load a certain amount of the total number of assets before it can start to play anyway. It could be that you have a whopping great event video right near the start of the project and that's what is causing the lengthy delay.
If your issue is still with the preloaders NOT appearing at all, then the only settings that would affect this are the ones on the Preferences > Project > Start and End > Preloader path and percentage. The path looks to be fine, but if preloader animations are not visible at all, try changing to a different preloader. Maybe only SOME of them work. The Default.swf preloader is usually reliable.

Help needed - Captivate 7 Audio not working in Safari/Chrome in html5

I think I am going slightly mad. For the life of me I can not get the audio to work in either Chrome or Safari (both versions are up to date) on an ipad and android tablet.
I have created a 1 slide project which just consists of a blank slide plus an audio mp3 file I have imported to the slide. I have turned off all the button click sounds and not scaled the html.
I then publish to html5, uplaod it to my LMS and try and view it. Works fine in IE on a desktop. But when I try and view it in Chrome and Safari there's no audio. In Chrome it seems to default to mute, so I unmute it but still nothing, In Safari the mute button is not even there, even through it is enabled in the skin.
Anyone have any ideas as it's driving me mad? Unfortunate thing is I downloaded Articulate storyline and after 10 mins I had uploaded a html 5 zip file and it working great on the ipad, with audio.

Hi
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with audio in Captivate's HTML5 output.
What LMS are you using? There are certain LMS that are known to have problem serving HTML5 content. Also, the content server inside the LMS can choose to send different responses based on the client being a desktop device or a mobile device.
What is the IOS version in the iPad? IOS6 is preferrable.
Can you please try the following?
1. Instead of hosting the output in an LMS, try hosting the content in a local web server running on your machine. Mongoose is a quick and free option to try out (https://mongoose.googlecode.com/files/mongoose-tiny-4.1.exe) and then try accessing the same from iPad
2. If that works, then we can start suspecting the LMS that you are using. If it still does not work, you can connect the iPad to a Mac machine's USB port. Launch Safari on the Mac machine. Make sure that the option to "Show Developer Menu" is turned on in Safari's preferences. From the develop menu, select the menu specific to the iPad device and webpage. You may have to open and close the develop menu in case your iPad is not listed in the menu. Once you select the iPad+page menu, a web-inspector window is opened. Open the console messages if not already open. Refresh the webpage in the iPad. Look at the console output messages in the web-inspector. Any errors or warnings encountered will be printed there. For example, network error messages might hint that the http request for the mp3 file was rejected by the server for some reason.
3. If there are no messages in the console, audio does not play when published output is hosted in local webserver, then please share the published output. We can investigate why it does not work.
Cheers

Captivate 4 SCORM not working, Exit Button Not working

Hi All-
I hope somebody can help me out because I am at the end of my rope with Captivate.
I have a project that is in the final stages, I'm attempting to publish it to our LMS and it is not tracking properly, it is initializing the LMS and it is recording a "Started" status, but I can not get the completion status to work properly.
I really don't want to include a quiz at the end so these are the settings I have used:
LMS Standard: SCORM 1.2
Report Status: Complete/Incomplete
Report To LMS As: Percent
Choose report Data: User Access Only
Reporting Level: Interactions and Score
I have tested every possible setting I can think of and the bloody thing will not work!
Somebody please help me, because I do NOT want to have to start this over with Articulate!

Hi Nathan
In addition to the other advice, I believe that you need to have at least one scorable object in order for the reporting to work. For example, sometimes folks need a simple acknowlegement that the content has been viewed. I believe this is the case with SOX compliance. In cases like these, you insert a simple Button object the user clicks. Configure a quiz. You don't need actual question slides. You configure the button to report back the click.
I didn't see anything about the Exit button, but the Exit button is unreliable at best. If you are clicking the Exit button and it's not working for you, take a look at the info below:

Captivate Certification does not work for at least another week

Hi there,
yesterday I was supposed to take my class for the Adobe Captivate Certification (ACE Exam).
But Pearson Vue did not manage to send the test over two hours.
Last comment was:
We will look into this, but the next test will not be within the next week.
I had to laugh a bit, because I was trying to take an eLearning exam about eLearning creation software and the eLearning system did not work.
So - for everyone who scheduled a class, you probably want to check back, if it is working.
Pearson VUE did not contact me until now, so I cannot tell you any more.
Best TD

TD,
Is it Captivate 5 certification or is it still the old Captivate 3 certification that they offer?

Indesign 30 day trial not working

Hi
I have downloaded the Indesign CS3 trial off the Adobe website.
When I select to use the trial it says problem encountered and then only gives the option of entering a serial number.
A few weeks ago I had the same problem with the Photoshop CS3 trial so I bought the programme only to find that the programme that I needed to design brochures was Indesign.
How do I get the trial to work - I will not be able to pony up the expense of another expensive programme this month and want to test it's capabilities as it sounds like it has the edge on Quark Express.
Some help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Nigel

In order for the trials to work they must be launched in the same user account from which they were installed -- that's part of the trial security.
Flexnet will show up if you go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services in one of two ways, either under its own name, or as something like ##ID_STRING followed by a bunch of numbers. I'm not certain it would be running with trials, but it must be started with regular versions. I'm not quite sure how Bonjour is used, but it is involved in activation, I believe, and a successful install of the regular version requires that it be able to run. I don't see it on my system in either task manager or services, so it may only run during installation.
Since you seem to have installed Photoshop successfully, you might want to try uninstalling the ID trial and reinstalling in the account where Photoshop is installed. Warning: I don't know what impact that will have on the ability to run ID, but the KB seems to indicate that you can uninstall and reinstall in the same location. Tampering with the system clock or any number of other things can kill the trials, so you might want to check with Adobe support before trying that.
I wish I could offer something more concrete, but I haven't used any of the trial versions. For what it's worth, I moved from Quark to ID in 2001 and never looked back. I find it much more efficient and a more powerful application, plus it integrates much better with the other Adobe components.
If you are buying two products, you might want to look at the Creative Suite packages. You get a much better deal.

Captivate 7.1 not working with latest Android operating system

Courses created with Captivate 7.0.1.237 are not working on tablets with Android's latest operating system - KitKat. The play arrow in the middle of the screen remains onscreen throughout the course. In some cases, it stops the course and buttons become inactive. In other cases, the course plays, but the arrow is still there and the sound is gone. The courses work with an older operating system. We are using the latest Chrome browser. Is there a fix? (Other than publishing with Captivate 8 - courses are on the client's LMS and we do not want to have to replace them.)
Thanks

Chrome version 36 has some issues with captivate html5 output. Please find the following workaround if you are using Chrome.

Captivate 6 preloader not working

I have the preloader in Captivate 6 set to 10%. The original Adobe loading screen appears for 10%, but then a "Loading" screen just appears until the entire project is loaded. It takes the same amount of time as when the preloader is set to 100%. The only difference is which "load" screen I'm looking at. Is there a fix?

My associate and I are having the same issues any help would be appreciated. We are using Cap 6.0.1.240 64bit Windows 7 machines. In our project we have mp3 audio files. We also 3 flv files streaming from our Flash server. We also have question slides but are not utilizing a question pool. We also have a certificate widget at the end of the project. We are linking to our content server through Moodle 2.4. Or swf file is approx 38megs. We were experiencing significant load times on several different networks with large bandwidth. We have tried the following:
- preloader AS3 at 10%
- reduced the file size significantly (from 138M to 38M)
- set slides to JPEG
- made all audio files MP3s
- off set the audio on slides to begin at .1
- removed the quiz slides from the project
- removed the video links from the project
And still our load times hover around 18 to 25 seconds with each test and the preloader does not work. Do you have any suggestions that will help? Is this addressed in ver 7?
Thank you,
VJ

Captivate 8 content not working with screen readers

My Adobe Captivate 8 published content is not working with any of the screen readers I have tested: JAWS, Mac Voice Over, and Windows Narrator. It is a simple launch page with 6 buttons used to launch additional CBTs.
I have been over and over the content in the help topic for this and cannot find any reason to think I am not doing this right:
[ ] https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/creating-accessible-projects.html
I have added accessibility text for the slide, I have tried adding the accessibility text for the buttons, have turned on accessibility in my publish settings, I have even tried just adding a text caption sitting on the slide with the text I want read by the screenreader - none of it works.
I have searched the forums and it appears others have this issue as well. The latest forum post was having to do with Captivate 7 - where the poster followed up stating Adobe Support recognized this as a "bug". Does screen reader accessibility work in Captivate 8 or not?
Is there anyone out there who has produced content that works with a screen reader?! If so, please tell me what the secret is!!

I've been able to get a screen reader to read parts of a Captivate 8 presentation using the HTML5 output (but NOT the .swf output). I tested using NVDA.
However - they keyboard accessibility does not seem to be functioning correctly. I can tab through buttons and such - but hitting enter on any of the buttons (play, forward, backward, closed captions, audio) does not work.
Overall - doesn't seem that Captivate 8 is as "accessible" as Adobe is claiming. Much of what they claim should work - does not.
CP8 is certainly no where near WCAG 2.0 "AA" standards (which unfortunately is where i need things to be).

Captivate Patch does not work

Hello,
I got a problem. I have try to install the patch for Captivate 4 . That cannot be done. Is it because I got the German version ? Is the patch only for the us/uk version?
The warning shows "Captivate 4 is not insalled" - this is not true?!
Any Solutions?

Hi Rumbalotte,
Try clicking on the link I have included below, scrolling down to the bottom of page. Here you should find a link to download the localized version of the Adobe Captivate 4 patch for German users.

Captivate 5.5 not working with Flash 11.4?

I had Flash 11.4 and published a module with click boxes that jump to URLs. The click boxes don't appear in either preview or published mode. No hand cursor, no click box, no URL, nothing. I've double checked the settings on the click boxes three times... they are correct, and the box is the top most thing on the slide.
Based on advice I found on this forum on other flash problems, I tried uninstalling Flash 11.4 and going back to 10.3. Now every time I try to launch the module I immediately go to the Flash 11.4 download page, and get the message "this content requires Flash to play - download now". So apparently you can't install an earlier version of Flash and use it with Captivate.
Which isn't a solution anyway, because my I don't want my viewers to have to do that to take this training. So what do I do? How do I make these urls available?
I won't waste my time calling Adobe support... I've made that mistake in the past. I'm really hoping someone here can help me. Upgrading to Captivate 6 isn't an option...it's not in the budget. They need to make 5.5 work with Flash - it's not that old. It's SO frustrating that every time there is a Flash upgrade I have problems with this stupid software. If they are going to publish to Flash, they need to keep the software current. They own both products for goodness sake - why don't they work together? Please help!
Thanks for your help.
Toni Rexrode

I doubt that Flash 11.4 is the cause of these issues. Having Flash 11.4 installed on your box doesn't mean your end users will need it.. Captivate 5.5 and 6 will only publish as high as Flash 10.2. So all your end users would need is that version or above.
I assume when you say you have check the settings on your click boxes, you made sure you have them configured to show the hand cursor? If this is not turned on then the normal mouse pointer is all that will be visible. But I'm betting you've checked that already.
What you may not realise is that sometimes Captivate will APPEAR to show your click boxes are on the top layer of the timeline when you look at it in Edit mode, but in fact they may be buried down under other objects in the layers and NOT be clickable at runtime. This has caught me out a few times.
To ensure that your clickboxes ARE on the top layers, select each click box in the timeline and then click the icon on the main toolbar to Bring Selected Objects to the Front. Then publish and test again.
