Captivate 5 Trial Insanely Slow and Laggy

Hello
I have recently been tasked with evaluating Adobe Captivate 5 for our company. I downloaded and installed the trial and have looked through the tutorials. However, I've noticed that the interface is ridiculously slow and laggy when using the software. And I mean PAINFULLY slow. For example, I'll open up a new project template, and simply inserting an image placeholder or text placeholder and dragging into the position I want it on the canvas takes 5-10 seconds. I'll drag my mouse to where I want it, then I'll have to wait 5 seconds before the object is actually moved. Meanwhile, the program is completely unresponsive. Honestly it feels as if I'm running this software on a Pentium 486. This only happens when doing any sort of operation on the canvas. I can navigate the menus at normal speed.
Is this program supposed to be this laggy/unresponsive? It is insanely frustrating to use, in fact, I wouldn't even deem it usable in this state...
PC Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50 GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia Quadro NVS 290
Windows XP Pro with SP3 and all updates
I use Photoshop all the time, and it runs beautifully. So do all other programs. I can't explain why Captivate would be so horribly laggy?

Definitely odd! Not a good way to start a product trial, that's for sure.
In any case, I ended up installing it on another computer that was relatively untouched in terms of software (only basic stuff installed, compared to my machine). And it worked basically how I expected it to, very smooth with no interface lag.
So that begs the question, what is installed on my workstation that causes Captivate to go nuts? It's ONLY Captivate too. I can have JUST Captivate open, or I could have 20 other programs open, and no matter what it lags like crazy when I do anything in it. Even switching between programs or pulling up the start menu takes several seconds when going from Captivate to something else. Whereas if I'm in any other program (including Photoshop CS5), Windows responds with its normal swiftness.
I've already uninstalled several video editing programs and other software, with no luck. I guess next to try is my AV software...

Macbook Pro mid-2012 Slow, and laggy

My Macbook has been running slow, and laggy aswell. I don't know whats wrong with it. I took my Macbook to the store where I bought it to see if they could fix it. After 4 days in the warehouse I came to take it back, and they said that we didn't find anything wrong with the hardware, but something with the software. They said that I had to reinstall it, but they couldn't cuz it was not included in the insurance. When I came back home, I did a backup, erased everything, and did a fresh install of Mavericks(took 1 day cuz it was slow and laggy). When My macbook reinstalled the problem was still there. It was much better before the reinstallation, but still a little slow. I also ran disc utility but it affect the problem. I also have another probelm is when I put my macook in sleep, I close the lid and then it gets hot, like if I'm playing a game or something which I don't. The light is turned off when I'm using my mac, it gets a little dim when I put my Mac to sleep with the lid open. When I close the lid the light gets bright and it shows the pulse like pattern at random points. I had to turn my mac off cuz I take it to school, and when I take it out from my bag its hot like a fry pan. The overheat also affects my battery life time in a high degree. I had 80% when I closed the lid and put it in my bag, and it got 22% when I took it out. I also did some search up with no luck so I hope you guys can help me, please, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance

What about the problem when I close the lid it starts getting hot, like the processor is working at its limits???
Run an Apple Hardware Test, that may develop a clue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Also what about the caches, because it was written that it can slow down mac's performance if they are corrupted, and I don't know if the are corrputed.
One eliminates that as a possibility by cleaning them. A Safe boot will do that. Also look in the 'Safe Mac' link, the last entry titled "Clear Caches".

Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can somebody diagnose why my new MacBook Pro is so slow and laggy?

I just bought this MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.2) a month ago and it had been performing very well until last night. I tried to stream a hockey game through Chrome and the browser crashed. I didn't think it was a serious issue at first; I tried to force quit Chrome but everything just slowed down even more. Eventually I just shut it down by holding the power button, hoping that it would be fine once I started it back up.
But it wasn't fine. It took forever to boot up, and once it did, everything was slow and laggy. There is delay using the trackpad and keyboard, applications are taking ages to open and sometimes won't respond, the color wheel is popping up for minutes at a time, etc. It even seems like the internet itself is slowed down; I've tried different browsers in different locations of varying internet connections and they've all been very slow to load pages. It's like the whole machine suddenly caught the flu or something.
I tried disk utility, but it says there's no problems. The activity monitor doesn't show any significant CPU usage, and even after I cleaned the caches for Safari and Chrome, all the problems still persist. I thought it might have caught a virus or some kind of malware, but I've been told that's highly unlikely. Could it have something to do with Chrome or Flash (I was trying to update the latest Flash plug-in or something before the browser crashed)? Like I said, the machine's fairly new, so not much of the RAM is used up. Could anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

See if you can find some answers here:

Slow and laggy, tool bar too large

Annotation very slow and laggy draw speed when using s pen for Samsung note 4. Tool bars are too large on this device, taking too much space that I can't annotate properly

When you say toolbars are too large, are they taking more space then the top toolbar?
Can you please share the snapshot of the device when toolbar is taking too much space. It will help us in understanding the issue better.
Thanks

Slow and laggy scrolling when using a touchscreen, any fix for this?

I'm using FF on a touchscreen "flip" laptop and scrolling is choppy and laggy!
In IE11/Chrome/Opera12&20 it's smooth. Any one know how to fix this, I've tried the SmoothWheel and YASM add-ons and they only made things worse.
IE, Chrome and Opera is like browsing and scrolling on a HTC One m8/iPhone5s and FF feels like using my old Nokia 5800 from 2008.
FF have a lot of customization features that Chrome and Opera 20 doesn't have and Opera 12 is no longer being upgraded/supported, so I would like to be able to continue using FF.

I have, it was just showing up because I hadn't rebootet after upgrading from 12 to 13. I have tried booting FF in safe mode, with and without hardware acceleration & smooth scrolling. Scrolling (horizontally and vertically) and zooming is still slow and laggy.
I tried FF 28.0 Beta with the Metro(Modern) mode, and thats nothing I'll use, at least until you can use plug-ins/add-ons. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro not RT.

Is it me or did everyone's ipod get slow and laggy with ios 5? Does anyone know a fix?

yes! I am having a bunch of issues...including really slow. it completely locked up in the nike + app, Facebook is slow...and sometimes I can't use the imessaging unless I send a picture with the text.

Mac suddenly slow and laggy. Memory is not an issue. Can anyone please review my etrecheck report?

It went from running fine, to being slow and laggy overnight. Memory or HD space is not an issue. Can someone please review the following report that etrecheck ran for me, and let me know of any potential problems they see.

Slow and laggy broadband!

I have had sky for a while now however its suddenly become very annoying and slow. I have searched and searched the internet to try find solutions and how to get better connections and speed however none have worked! If anybody has an idea that is making my broadband slow and laggy could you please reply
Thanks jonny...

I have replied to your other post but in cae you miss it then you need to post your router stats if you want the forum users to try and help(there are no Sky staff here to offer assistance).

Upgrade to 2.0.2 made my iPhone 3G slow and laggy

Since I downloaded the new firmware, my phone has been really slow and laggy, anything I can do about it?

Not alot you can do I dont think. 3G decreases network reception and drains power but you can turn it off. Edge does make the internet perk up a bit sometimes believe it or not.
If you are having any issues with the applications crashing there may be a potential work around

Remote Desktop to netbook very slow and laggy

Remote Desktop to netbook over local ethernet is very slow and laggy. Netbook is Atom N280 with 2GB RAM and GPU with WDDM 1.0 driver. On Windows 7 all works fine even with an Aero Glass enabled for remote session. Now DWM consumes 10 to 25% permanently
so I think it's a DWM problem. Network traffic is only up to 6Mb/s over 100Mbit LAN connection. Is there a way to connect to Windows 8 netbook useful way?

Hi, sorry for my late reply but I didn't get notification about your post. I tried these settings and it is laggy same way. I read on Internet desktop composition in Windows 8 is always enabled regardless of RDP client settings. Display adapter is Mobile
Intel 946 Express Chipset Family. I tried to install Standard VGA driver, but it is also very slow. I'll try clean install to VHD now to avoid any 3rd party software impact.
Edit: I tried and it's slow even after a clean install.
Edit2: It is an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family.

N97 now so slow and laggy & cant access photo albu...

All of a sudden my N97 is now laggy beyond belief and I cant use it hardly, its just so slow and is freezing and doing all sorts now. Ive had it 3 months with no worries. Plus I cant seem to access the photo album, I press captured images and it does nothing, summats not right big style.
Im on the old version of the fimware that the phone came from Vodafone with, how can I update the firmware via my pc as I beleive there is a new version then what I have which is 10. summat. Thing is when I try update on the phone it says no updates found but there has been one, so how else can I update the firmwar to see if that helps, or anyone any other ideas thanks, I am in the UK

There are some things you can do to manage the C memory better/phone memory.
1. Clear your browser cache often
2. set different message allocation ( if you have not done so already)
messaging- options- settings- other ( set it to 999, and e memory)
3. Go to OVI store (app on your phone) and change that memory allocation for most apps.
opitons- account- settings- installation preferences
4. Remove Facebook, Accu Weather, Bloomberg, apps from the C drivve and reinstall them via OVI store and place them in the E memory/mass memory
NOTE: If you are using Nokia Messaging application, it can only store data on the C drive so keep that in mind
NOTE: RAM is another issue with N97. Don't keep too many apps running at the same time as it will run out of RAM and either close all applications on the spot or crash the phone and result in restart.
BETTER RAM management : Here are some things to consider
also consider investing in the best taskman 1.99$ in the ovi store or y browser (free) to manage your ram and all the apps that are runnig on the phone that you might want to close if you are not using them.
http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
now y browser is free, it has a great amount of stuff you can do with it, but it is not as easy to use as best taskman and it does not look so pretty- that is if you care about looks over function.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

If there is any other system information needed, please don't hesitate to ask.
Now the problem: well it's just general 'latency' and slowness of the computer, affecting nearly all applications. On a fresh boot when I try to login on the TTY I'm able to type half of the password before it gives me the prompt for it. Same when doing a 'su' in a urxvt.
Also, firefox is being very slow and unresponsive. Changing tabs goes slow, even typing text here right now lags from time to time (me typing faster then firefox showing the text). Running applications like SABnzbd makes all things go from bad to worse.
As you probably can understand, working on a computer which is feeling very laggy isn't very amusing. I hope there would be some pointers on how to get it working fast(er).

Thanks for the suggestions so far .
I'm having indeed more then a 1gb free ram and no swap is used, so that's not causing the problem. At the moment that I checked the load to post it over here SABnzbd was actively downloading, so that caused some extra load. But even now, my computer semi-idle (read: only some terminals/firefox) active it still gives me:
20:03:18 up 9:09, 1 user, load average: 0.67, 0.63, 0.72
When I look into (h)top there is no process using excessive amounts of cpu. It seems relative idle, except for firefox popping up from time to time using 10% cpu for half a second. Nothing what should or could cause such a load, so it seems I'm 'affected' by the 2.6.35 bug?
I'm only posting this now because I started to get really annoyed by it (and it might have gotten worse with the .35 bug), but the system is feeling slow for some time now.

ITunes, very slow and laggy

Why is iTunes crap for Windows but runs good with Mac. If apple is going to make iTunes for windows they should maybe try to fix it first, iTunes lags a lot and freezes many times. Its the only program on my computer that does that. Apple should fix iTunes for windows. iTunes is maybe another reason why my songs are gone from my iPod.

Well if its running slow and freezing, it and/or quicktime is conflicting with something, like windows, the CD drive, antivirus/security programs or some other software.
Try defragging your harddrive. Leave iTUnes closed and oopen Quicktime to see if it opens or throws an error message up when playing something in it. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (Version 6.0.4.2) by going to help>aboout If you don't have the latest goto apple.com and download it
Also goto the PC makers site and download the latest updates and patches, some systems have patches that directly address iTUnes issues

My MacBook Pro has been incredibly slow and laggy

So my MacBook Pro has been pretty much inoperable for a couple of months. The computer crashed and afterwards it would constantly lag. I did a fresh install thinking it would solve the problem, but it did not do anything. I took the computer to the Genius Bar, and they claimed that it was because I was running too many apps and that the computer was slowing down (doesnt make too much sense considering its a mid 2012 and on a fresh install) and then promptly sent me home. When you flash the memory in the beginning, sometimes it will be less laggy for a second, but then start lagging a couple minutes after computer use (this is still on a virtually clean install). I took their suggestion and added a SDD thinking it might help. Nope. So the hardware tests/diagnostics are all normal and I have no idea whats going on. It literally took me 10-15 minutes to run the EtreCheck and copy into mail so I could post these results from another computer. I will love anyone forever if they could explain to me how to fix this.

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.
