Captivate 4 does not capture Windows 7 dialogs, etc.

I believe this issue was posted back in March (Captiv8r recommended filing a bug report), but I'm wondering if a solution has been found since then.
I can capture other applications and the desktop, but whenever I try to capture a Windows 7 window, dialog or process, I get nothing. Zilch. Can't even print screen. In fact, the "End" function to stop recording doesn't even work unless I open another app. This is such a glaring bug I can't believe Adobe hasn't fixed it. What's going on? How do I fix it?
I'm using Captivate 4.0.0 Build 1596, on Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel i3, 2.13 GHz, 4GB RAM.

Hi there
You can make Captivate 4 work on Windows 7 but you have to install a Virtual Machine to do it.
I don't believe Captivate 4 was ever advertised as working or being compatible with Windows 7. Captivate 4 was announced in January 2009 and Windows 7 wasn't available until October of 2009.
So if you read somewhere that Captivate was advertiesed to work without issue on an operating system that wasn't generally available until nearly a year after Captivate 4 was, you were misled. My guess is that if you saw this somewhere it certainly didn't come from Adobe.
Cheers... Rick

Contact your administrator" I am the owner & my account has administrator rights.

    When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
    That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
    Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

  • Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

    Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP  or vista etc.
    I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

    well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

  • HP does not support Windows 8 Consumer Preview

    think those who ask questions on why this does not work, that does not work, no Win8 drivers or printers etc for WIN8 need to realize that this is only a consumer review release, not even a beta, you installed it at your own risk as Microsoft says.
    If you read the initial posted here by Walin within this forum it says: HP does not support Windows® 8 Consumer Preview...
    so maybe reading it may provide you with insite

  • [SOLVED]My Nautilus does not has window borders!!

    Hi,
    I have installed ArchLinux for the first time. I have installed GNOME (GNOME Shell + Mutter + Metacity + Nautilus + ETC...)
    I noticed that among all installed applications Nautilus is the only application that does not have Window Borders (Decorations) and if I wanted to close it I have to press SUPER key in my keyboard then in the activity (dashboard) I click that X appearing to it.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    Mohammad

    As far as i know you can define the size of the titlebar in the theme. The default theme can be found in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml.
    Back when i used gnome shell, i edited the theme for not to show the titlebar, which is the complete opposite of what you try to do. But maybe you can find a way to edit the file so that the statusbar is always shown.
    This part of the file is relevant for the maximised titlebars:
    <frame_geometry name="max" has_title="false" title_scale="medium" parent="normal" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false">
    <distance name="left_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="right_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="title_vertical_pad" value="0"/>
    <border name="title_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <border name="button_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <distance name="bottom_height" value="0" />
    </frame_geometry>

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    PSE_13 Editor does not recognize Windows 7 but the Organizer does?  How do I fix this?

    Try making separate desktop icons for the Editor and Organizer. You can then launch directly. The standard desktop icon is for the welcome screen which often runs in the background or doesn’t shut down properly.
    Start by right-clicking on the desktop and select:
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 13
    Inside the Photoshop Elements 13 folder make sure you select the application (not a shortcut) by scrolling down to the files beginning with the letter P and highlighting ‘PhotoshopElementsEditor’
    Then click next followed by finish.
    You can repeat for the Organizer using the different file path.
    New >> Shortcut
    Then browse to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 13 Organizer
    Highlight ‘PhotoshopElementsOrganizer’
    Then click next, followed by finish.
    Now that you have your separate desktop icons you can delete the one for the welcome screen, if preferred.

  • Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

    Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

    It say's this on the main Apple Website:
    Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.  Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
    So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
    The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
    Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
    Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.
