Captivate 6.1 fatal error - app terminates & saves work in .cpbackup files

I am working with Captivate 6.1 via a subscription license. The current file was created from scratch at 2048 x 2100 for new iPad retina resolution. While only 2 slides, the file is complicated - most images hidden and grouped and then called as groups via advanced actions.
Today I started getting "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files. Please restart Adobe Captivate."
I deleted prefs and cleared cache as instructed here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267044. Same. I backed up and started using a file from about 30 minutes before. Same. I backed up 2 hours and started using that file, worked slowly and methodically... eventually same.
Here is what I am noticing:
Application seems to run slower with delays whenever I touch the x/y location of any item.
If I mess with groups at all, I am likely to crash the file. Culprits include changing order of objects in the group. Adding additional objects to existing groups. Changing the order of the groups.
Is there any way to recover existing work?
Should I just start over without using any groups? I was using groups to make advanced actions easier to write and edit. Any known issues with groups in Captivate 6.1?
Am I dooming myself with 2048 x 2100? Any known bugs?
Thanks! Appreciate the help!

  • Captivate 7 - NeoSpeech Fatal Error (Windows user)

    Hi,
    My IT department has just updated my software from Cp 6 to Cp 7 and installed NeoSpeech from Adobe online link (as well as Assets) and I'm just testing the software, however, am receiving the following fatal error when trying to assign speech agent to text, then the system freezes.
    Just wondering if I need to go back to them to re-install NeoSpeech again, or something I have done?
    Thankyou
    Sharon

    Did your IT department set Captivate 7 up for you to be launched with Run As Administrator privileges?  If not, that might be your issue. 
    To test if this is the issue:
    Have one of the IT admins log into your PC, launch Captivate with Run As Administrator.
    Then try to perform the exact task you were doing when Cp7 crashed.
    If the app works fine for the IT Admin under Run As Administrator then you know what you need.

  • Adobe Captivate 5.5 "Fatal Error" Crash Caused by "CS Live" in CS 5.5 Programs

    This should be an official bug report. Forgive me if there is a more effective way to submit a bug.
    Adobe Captivate 5.5 crashes with a "Fatal Error" when the user launches a CS 5.5 program while Captivate is running in the background. This only occurs when the user is signed into Creative Suite's "CS Live" in the Creative Suite programs.
    This problem can be reproduced easily by launching Captivate and Illustrator side by side. Then the user must sign into CS Live through Illustrator. Captivate will crash with a fatal error every time. I have confirmed with Captivate running while launching Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc.
    You can see a quick video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayDDSN7rSY0
    There is no solution to this bug. I have tried nearly everything, following the framework at Troubleshoot launch issues, problems | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
    • Clearing the cache / rebuilding the profile directory in User/AppData/Local/Adobe/Captivate 5.5.
    • Reset Windows fonts and deleted all Adobefnt*.lst files / rebuilds on program launch.
    • UAC is disabled, I have administrator rights, and the application is set to start in "Run this program as an administrator" for all users.
    • Switching graphics from Intel to Nvidia and back for all Adobe applications.
    • Disable activation on both Captivate and the Master Collection, then reregistering .
    • Deactivating/Uninstalling/Reinstalling the program entirely.
    For now I will stay logged out of CS Live in my Master Collection programs.
    Windows 7 64 Bit
    Dell Latitude E5440
    CPU: i5-4300u
    GPU: Intel HD 4000 / Nvidia GT 720m switchable

  • Adobe Captivate 6.0 fatal error when trying to publish

    Currently working on Adobe Captivate 6.0 and recently have experienced a fatal error message when trying to publish my project. The fatal error message creates a backup and requests to restart Adobe Captivate.

    Hello ,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums!
    Could you please check the exact version of Adobe Captivate you are using (Go to help > About Adobe Captivate)?
    Are you having the same issue with other projects as well ?
    Please make sure the project files and published folder should be on local computer and not on any network location.
    Thanks

  • Fatal error XML-0121 in a valid XML file in v2 of SAX parser

    Attachments: "1|type=text/plain|desc=Logging of Fatal error using v2 of SAX parser |file=v2_loggin
    .txt|";"2|type=text/plain|desc=Logging of Fatal error using v2 of java SAX parser |17078|file=v2_l
    gging.txt|"
    Dear XML team,
    I am using the SAX parser version 2.0.2.4. When parsing a valid
    XML of approx. 3,5 Megabytes i get a fatal error XML-0121
    saying 'End tag does not match start tag
    <CORRESPONDENTIENAAM1>...'
    We checked the xml on the well formedness with tools like XML
    Spy and IE5. The XML is valid!
    We did some testing on the XML with the SAXSample class and we
    noticed that the error is related to the use of Entity
    References. When we removed the Entity Reference &apos; the XML
    was parsed correctly.
    We also noticed that if we cut the XML in two smaller parts it
    was also parsed correctly.
    I attached the output of the parser, as well as the output of
    the SAXSample class.
    I hope you can fix this problem!
    With kind regards,
    Rolf van Deursen.

    Update: I have attempted to use xmlparserv2.jar dated 12/23/08 that is packaged with jDeveloper 11g preview, but am still receiving the same message.

    I have a project with more than 100 individual files. I run it on two computers. One of them is connected to the internet (so it receives updates and patches) and the other one is not. Recently, I found I could not compile this project on the computer connected

  • Can't access preferences, fatal error/crash

    I've done a search and found a few other people with the same issue, but none of the suggestions have fixed the issue.
    The main project will open and edit just fine... I can even publish, as long as I didn't want to change any settings.  Anytime I try to access project or quiz preferences, I get a fatal error.  It saves the file and closes.  I am also unable to start a new blank project.  I click on it and it doesn't do a thing.  Doesn't freeze, but doesn't open a new project.  =(
    I've deleted the local cache, I've updated captivate... we even went as far as uninstall/reinstall, which makes me wonder what the problem could really be?
    I'm using Captivate 6 on a WindowsXP machine at work.  Cache is being saved on a local C: drive.  HELP! 

    I don't know where to look for the preferences folder.  =(
    I've accessed the appdata folder in my user profile and deleted the cache files, but that didn't solve my issues.  I can see the Captivate folder in program files, but there's no 'Preferences' folder here.
    Is there something that I'm not trying?

  • Calling Get_DocumentVersion occur a fatal error

    Hi,
    Someone sent an email with a "DocumentReference" attachment to me, when I used the gwDocumentReference.Get_DocumentVersion() api to get the document's content, it would occur a fatal exception, but I could view the document in GroupWise client
    I did a test, If the document object exist in my mailbox, and I forward the documentreference as a attachment to myself, when I call that API, everything would be OK.
    Could you kindly tell me the reason? I tested it in GW7,GW8,GW2012, Is it a bug for GroupWise? how can I avoid the problem?
    Thank you!
    waiwaizp

    I also met the same issue in GroupWise client 8, there was not a good solution to resolve it, I just used the "_set_invalid_parameter_handler" to deal the fatal error and terminate my application, then restart it to skip this messages, I think it would be a regression issue for 8.0.2

  • Could not save preferences because the file could not be found (Windows) then Error 1 on PS,AE,PR,ID

    I was trying out Photoshop, everything was running fine then one day when I close it I get an error:
    "Could not save preferences because the file could not be found..."
    Now when I boot it I get the Configuration Error 1.
    After Effects still boots, but it reset all my preferences there. For example the workplace layout was reset, all my saved Output presets were removed and my memory-cache and performance settings were reset again.
    Premiere and InDesign get the error too and won't boot.
    This is the second time it has happened, I'll try wiping every Adobe program and reinstalling all over again, but it had run fine before for a while and it randomly happened.
    Any idea how to fix this?

    Nope I havent touched the Documents folder.
    Forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 7

    Yeah, sure, swearing will help you.
    Instead rather give important information, unless you just came here to complain and not wanting to ask for help.
    1. What error?
    2. Where is the file saved - local HDD or network?
    3. Will "Save as..." work?
    4. When closing ID and opening again, it should restore the files (data loss due to crash prevention) - will you then be able to save?

  • After upgrading to Mavericks App store only works for me when I switch over other users

    After upgrading to Mavericks, the only options that work for me on App Store are Updates and Purchases, anything else only works if I switch my user either to guest or root? Any idea?  Thx in advance. 

    Read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data.
    Quit the App Store application if it’s running.  Wait at least 10 seconds before continuing.
    Step 1
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Caches/com.apple.storeagent
    Caches/storeagent
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Leave the Library folder open. Try the App Store again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
    Step 2
    If you still have problems, quit again and wait 10 seconds. Go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
    Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Test. If the App Store now works, delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit again. Put back the files you moved, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place, and post your results.
