Captivate 5.5 crashes when I install a GIF

Hello everyone,
I am using a PC Intel Xeon 3.2. GHz/ 4 TB HD with 24 GB RAM. It is a new computer with only Captivate and CS5.5 Master loaded. Everytime I try and load a GIF Captivate closes and I receive the following failure details:

I can convert the GIF to a SWF and it works, but increases my process time. Anyone else experience this and if so, do you know how i may resolve this issue. The help desk was no help whatsoever.
Thank you in advance for any infor.
Mike

I ran into the same problem awhile ago and also had to convert the GIF into a SWF to make it work. However, today I believe I found the solution. When you finish creating your animated GIF in Photoshop and then "Save for Web & Devices" - turn off the Dither. Turning Dither off allowed me to import the GIF into Captivate without it crashing.

  • Captivate 8 keeps crashing when generating Text to Speech

    Captivate 8 keeps crashing when I try to generate audio for text to speech. Captivate generates a backup file but I can't get my backup file to open, it says that the file is corrupt or already open.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi  There , 
    Is  your  Captivate  8  updated ?
    Is  that  issue  occurs  with  a  specific  project ?  Please  test  with  a  new  /  blank  project  and  try  to  generate  audio  for  text  to  speech .

  • Captivate 8 Continually Crashes: When trying to publish, When trying to use the Object Style Manager. Also it is blocked by Windows Firewall (adobecaptivatews) every time it launches. Working with Captivate App Packager the pane to import from Adobe Edge

    Captivate 8 Continually Crashes: When trying to publish, When trying to use the Object Style Manager. Also it is blocked by Windows Firewall (adobecaptivatews) every time it launches. Working with Captivate App Packager the pane to import from Adobe Edge is missing, so not clear how to import. Overall it seems unstable. Am I doing something wrong? Trying to evaluate before buying so working on a trial version (14 days left), but a bit concerned with Captivate 8 Performance. Please help! :-

    Hi Vikram and Lilybiri,
    Thanks for your responses :-)
    I'm working on Windows 8.1... I think that I may have found the issue... I was saving the file in a project directory rather than the default My Captivate Projects folder...
    Perhaps Captivate was struggling to find resources it needed?
    It hasn't crashed for a while now, though it is struggling - I'm working with a 54 slide PPT presentation that is linked and it takes a very long time to interact.
    Sometimes it says that I've removed slides, which I haven't?
    Best,
    Christy.

  • Imac crashes when i install the windows 7 sp1

    So I have gotten past the intiall hurdle of installing windows 7 on my 27 inch Imac, which was not easy. it was done through boot camp and involved deleting a few key system files after the install crashes on reboot.
    Now the computer is crashing when it attempts to install the sp1. Is their any fix for this yet. i believe all imac are having this problem. I am currently running windows without the sp1 installed. i am getting tired of how difficult it is to run windows on a mac. It is essential to my business to run both OS s.

    Don`t know if this is to any help to you at all, but I run Windows 7 on my iMac 27" through Parallels Desktop and I have installed SP1 no problems at all. Maybe you could try that?

  • Captivate 7 crashes when inserting an animated gif

    Hi guys,
    new day different problems. I upgraded to Captivate 7 and want to insert some animated gifs. Some of them import fine, but I have two that cause Captivate 7 to crash on insert. I created them with Adobe flash and exported them with the following settings:
    I'm not sure what the problem is, since the settings were the same for all animations. The size didn't play a role either. I have to insert these animations as animated gifs, because we will publish the project in HTML5 for web and devices.
    Thanks for all your help!
    Nat

    Guys,
    I'm sorry, I'm just seeing your messages now. Just fyi, Adobe support never did get back to me about those gifs. What I ended up doing was changing all those settings until something worked (I did this for hours!). And the weirdest thing, there wasn't one setting that worked for all of them. The following are just two different settings I used for pretty much the same animation. There was no big difference in creating them, except for the publishing process, and only for HTML5 formats.
    And this is for the other animation, totally similar in style:
    I tried forever to change setting, publish, insert into Captivate 7. From there it was a trial and error experience.

  • BIG PROBLEM - BB Link crash when i installing in windows 8.1

    Hi, sorry for my bad english. I try to speak with you.
    I have a very big problem.
    When i try to install the latest version of BlackBerry Link (120_b028, this is the file name), the system crash (blue screen) and write this error: "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (ndis.sys)" - i try to disable the ethernet card and the wireless card but the problem still - I don't such enithing now - I'm desperate now because i don't make backup - Please help me and sorry for my bad english too. Thanks for all - i still you........

    OK guys,
    After consistently received the BSOD when Installing BB Link, I turned off bitlocker and received this error from Kaspersky.  Link did not load but at least I didn't get the BSOD.
     Error 1704. An installation for BlackBerry Link is currently paused.  Changes make by this installation will be cancelled.  Start the installation process again after the process shutdown.
    I then removed Kaspersky, restarted the install and received this error. 
    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {74FD3CE6-2A8D-0E9C-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}. HRESULT: 0x800736B5
    After I acknowledged the error the Install Shield rolled back the install and bailed out.
    Anybody have any other ideas on how to install BlackBerry Link on my brand new Sony Core i7 laptop running Win 8.1?
    BTW, if anybody from BlackBerry is listening, my Z10 has been a great device and Link worked well on my Win7 laptop.  This however is enough for even the most devoted BB user to toss the whole thing.  There are a lot of people having similar problems.  Get this fixed ASAP.
     Thanks.

  • Captivate 6 is Crashing when inserting click boxes and other issues

    Desperately need help because I have never seen anything like this.  I use Captivate 6 in the workplace and have not run into an issue like this in the 9 years I have used Captivate.
    Captivate will not open any new projects (800 x 600 or 640 x 480 etc.)  Nothing happens.  When I open 1024 x 768 (the project size I have been using for the last year), a new project will open but when I try to add a click box, I get an error message "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated.  Adobe Captivate tried to save all your work int he respective project folders as "cpbackup" files.  Please restart Captivate.  This has only been happening for a week.
    When a coworker or IT employee signs onto my computer under their profile, Captivate works fine for them.  I went to another co-workers desk who has Captivate and when I sign on her computer under my profile, I have the same problem so we figured my work profile was corrupt.  IT set up a new profile 2 separate times, I have uninstalled and re-installed 3 or 4 time and nothing works.  We are on a network but Captivate is installed on my C:Drive and I save all my files on the C:Drive.
    The odd thing is if can open up files I have worked on this past year (even up to 2 weeks ago), they are fine and I can insert click boxes without any problems.  It just happens when I try to create a new file. 
    We have Adobe volume licenses at work so I can not call and get support and none of us can figure this out.  I would be really grateful for some help!!
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Captivate 8 Windows crashes when inserting Learning Interactions

    Hello, all.
    I'm running Captivate 8 one Windows 8.1 Pro laptop, with 8gigs of Ram and an Intel Core i5 processor.
    Every time I try to insert a Learning Interaction - every one I've tried (except the timer) - it after about 30 seconds of NOTHING happening, the program crashes. I get the "Windows has stopped responding" and then the "close program." dialog.
    And yes, I have tried both running as Administrator, and not. Same problem.
    Has anyone else encountered this, and do you know of a fix?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Rick, I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Support. They were great - but ultimately came to the conclusion that there was a problem with my Windows 8 install.
    I went back, completely uninstalled, and re-installed 64-bit Captivate (I run 64-bit Windows). That partially solved the problem, but not completely. Some interactions work, others don't. And it's still buggy as h ell.
    Support's advice to me was to do a full, clean install of Windows 8 - and then to install Captivate FIRST, before installing other software. I realize that's a massive job and a major pain - but if you rely heavily on Captivate, I might suggest trying it.
    FYI, I have been working on a fairly good laptop - i5 processor (3.2ghz) and 8 gigs ram. But I was in need of a new desktop for heavier applications anyway. So I took this as the time to upgrade my desktop. It arrives today - and the first thing I'll install is Captivate. I'll post back here whether that solves all my problems.
    All of that said, I'll probably do a clean install on my laptop soon.
    That's all the info/advice I can give. Best of luck!

  • Outlook crashing when itunes installed

    Hi.
    Anyone encountered the problem of outlook crashing on startup every time I install itunes ? (any version)
    Previously I have managed to get Outlook back (and all my precious contacts)by doing a system restore,(ie. About 8 Times) but this time even that doesn't work.
    I'm fed up and confused.

    Download and apply the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html.

  • Computer crashed when DM installed

    I just got a storm and tried to install the desktop software last night.  The software was about 80% installed and then my computer automatically turned off.  I tried to turn the computer back on with no luck.  The initial "Windows XP" start screen shows up and then absolutely nothing after that.  The computer never makes it to the log on screen.
    Please HELP!!

    My computer will not start in safe mode. I have tried it a few times and always return to the same blue screen. I do get an error message sometimes. "RoxWatch9.exe application error. The exception software exception (0xe06d7363) occurred in the application at lovation 0x7c812a5b.". I don't get this message all the time though. I've only gotten it about 3 times.

  • PSE7 crashes when I open two gif files. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I've just installed PSE7. Works fine with one image open. However when I open a second image (gif or jpg) it crashes. Every time. Even if all I do is open one image then immediately open the second, it crashes. I've tried different images and accessing them on a different disk, but repeatedly, reproducibly I can crash the application by opening a second image file.
    Since this doesn't happen on my home machine (where I have a second licensed copy) I can only assume there's some problem in the configuration on my work system: Windows XP Pro SP3 plus latest updates, Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.4GHz, 3.25Gb memory. eSet antivirus.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You may need to change your default printer.   To quickly diagnose that, try solution 3 of this tech note:

  • Bridge CS6 crashing when there is a GIF file in the folder.

    Out of the box, Adobe Bridge has been crashing "randomly" when opening folders.
    To pinpoint the cause of the crash, I created a new folder and dragged the files one by one from one of the other folders that crashed Bridge.
    It all works fin until I drag a GIF file, then it just stops responding and crashes immediately.
    I have tried with several different GIF files, and they all seem to crash Bridge.
    Any ideas of any settings to stop this from happening?
    I, of course, need to work with gifs, so filtering those out is not a solution.
    Thanks!

    THanks for your answer,
    It seems to be any gif causing the crash, at least I haven't found one that doesn't crash it so far, here's an example:
    It doesn't have to be animated either. Still gifs crash it too.
    I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1, 64-bit OS, 24Gb RAM, Intel Core i7 CPU, I have a GeForce GTX 590 video card. I have a similar setup at my home office, and bridge seems to work just fine there (with the same files even).
    I searched around here and I found issues popping up with Bridge and GIFs, but nothing answered or exactly like my problem. Weird.
    Is there a way for Bridge to not try to render GIFs, but still show them so I can change metadata, open them in PS, etc?

  • Keynote crash when recording with animated gif

    I'm running Keynote 6.5 on a MBP with Yosemite. While trying to record a voiceover on a Keynote presentation, the program continually crashes whenever I get to a slide with an animated gif. The gif won't play, but I CANNOT exit the program. The interface appears to be responsive, but in fact nothing works. I can call up the slide navigator, but unable to switch slides. Buttons appear to click but nothing happens. I cannot bring up the Activity Monitor. Command Tab does nothing. I have no choice but to restart the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes animated GIF's cause problems in record slideshow;   Keynote is perpetually running an animation and won't advance to the next slide.
    I record the voiceover outwith Keynote as separate clips, and place the appropriate clip on each slide, when I do this Keynote plays correctly.

  • Flash CS4 crashes when exporting to animated .GIF!!!!

    I am running Snow Leopard and Flash CS4 10.0.2.  Everytime I try to export to an animated GIF flash will crash.  I can export to .swf, html, and a static .gif just fine.  As soon as I check that animated box and hit publish, it crashes.  This is annoying and ridiculous.  Is this an issue with Flash?
    At first I thought it was due to the fact that I was using actionscript for my animation.  I figured the .gif didn't support that so I got rid of it, still crashed.  Even just made a very simple text animation and it still would crash.  This is unacceptable.
    Anyone know a good SWF - animated GIF converter in the meantime?

    Honestly, I am really astonished that CS4 runs under Windows 8 at all. You should get your hands on a trial version of flash cc and test if you are encountering the same problems:
    if yes: then it must be related to your soundsystem (audio drivers/soundcard) or the files you try to import are non-standard/demolished
    if no (flas cc imports your files but not CS4) then I would advise moving on to a specialized Windows 8.1 forum
