Captivate 6 freezes when deleting slides

Hey all,
Captivate 6.0.0.199 freezes when deleting a slides.  This does not occur on another machine running the exact same version.  This occurs with both new CPTX files created in CP6 and also those upgraded from CP5.
We are on Windows 7.
Any ideas?  Deleting slides would be nice. 
Micky

I see. Let's just try to break down the problem to simpler levels to isolate the cause.
Attempt following tests :
1) Delete just one slide
2) Delete any object from any specific slide
3) Try running capuitivate in admin mode (right click and Choose Run as Admin)
4) If you add new slides and save it and close and reopen, does it show changes made?
5) Please close all projets and just work on a single new project, add some slides, save it and try deleting
Let me know the result of these, try these after updating Captivate.

  • Captivate 5 Freezes when I try to Record Audio To Slide

    Hello,
    I'm having difficulties with recording audio to slide in Captivate 5. Recording to slides, background, and object work, but when I try to record to slide, the computer appears to freeze (until I press escape and then I can select buttons again).
    I have Windows XP on my computer. I have deleted the preferences C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate, following advice on other threads, but this does not help.
    This issue just started yesterday. I was able to record to slide before.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Hi DebsterV,
    Did you try upgrading the system audio drivers as RodWard suggested?
    If even that does not resolve your issue, let me know so that we can have a connect session.
    Thanks,

  • Captivate 5 freezes when opening edit video timing

    When I insert a video slide and go to Properties > Video > Edit Video Timing,  Captivate freezes and I need to restart the program. I first played around with feature about three weeks ago and did not experience a problem. Is there something in a recent update that is now causing this issue?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi there,
    Not sure why it is happening to you all of a sudden. Can you restart captivate with fresh set of preferences.
    1. Close Captivate.
    2. Delete "Captivate 5" folder from "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Adobe\" location
    3. Restart captivate and try the workflow you mentioned.
    Let me know.
    Thanks

  • CS4 Freezes When Deleting Files

    I've had CS4 now for a few weeks and I'm finding that whenever I try to delete a .htm file, the program freezes. I've tried the idea of deleting that cache file in the configurations folder. I've even renamed my configuration folder so a new one would be rebuilt. Same thing with the preferences folder. Any ideas on why this is occurring?

    I'm also getting frequent freezes when I try to open a folder in DW. I click on the little + sign and it just locks up. Very, very frustrating. I just upgrading from DW 8 to CS4 and right now, I'm instability like I never experienced in DW 8. Please help.

  • My Iphone freezes when I slid over to open phone

    Just recently my Iphone (4s) freezes when I try to slide over to open the phone.  I have had to turn off the phone and wait for it to power on again.  What can I do?  Thanks.

    Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

  • Phone is freezing when deleting messages

    I can't delete messages from my 4s. Phone freezes when I try to delete them. Only way it unfreezes is turning it off and back on and the messages are still there. Tried a reset and that didn't work.Help!!!

  • Captivate 7 freezing when trying to edit spelling preferences?

    It's really as simple as the title says. My version of Captivate 7 freezes everytime I open spelling options?
    I'm using the Mac version.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing some files, or something?

    Hi nic_murdock, Can you check whether you have "Linguistics" folder created under "/Library/Application Support/Adobe"? if not, can you do the following steps
    Close Captivate if it is open.
    Step 1
    Open finder
    Open the Go menu and select “Go to Folder”
    Type in /Library/Application Support/Adobe and click on Go button
    Create a new folder and call it Linguistics
    Inside the Linguistics folder, create another folder and call it 6.0
    Leave this open. We will come back to it
    Step 2
    Open new finder window (File->New Finder Window)
    Open the Go menu and select “Go to Folder”
    Type in /Applications/Adobe Captivate 7/required/Plug-Ins/mac/Linguistics and click on Go button
    Select the 2 folders LanguageNames2 and Providers and copy them
    Go back to the other finder window which we opened earlier in Step 1 and paste it inside the folder 6.0
    Launch Captivate and check the spelling preferences.
    Let us know if this still doesn't resolve the issue. You can send a mail to me at sankaram at adobe dot com.
    P.S : All the folder names are in bold.
    Thanks,
    Sankaram.

  • Captivate 3 freezing when publishing- help?

    Hi,
    I’ve reached the end of my tether and was hoping someone could help me out with some professional Captivate insight.
    I have had a good look around this forum and tried several things
    -          I have unchecked the advanced project compression option (still froze)
    -          I have unchecked this AND the compress compiled SWF file (when I’ve done both it has published but published a blank presentation)
    -          I have removed the borders on the slides
    -      I have saved the audio and slides on to my C drive (and not on my network) and used them from there
    I am using Captivate 3 to make a number of lectures available on my company’s website. This involves importing slides from Power Point, matching them with the audio recording of the lecture and publishing them on Flash 8.
    I have a new pc with 132 GB of free space however recently any project I am attempting to publish freezes during the publishing stage- during the swf compression. In the past this has worked fine- although I was mostly publishing 2 hour lectures (but one or two 3 hour lectures published successfully) and now I am only publishing 3 hour ones.
    To give an example currently I am attempting to publish a lecture with 57 slides. These are non animated slides, only containing text and bullet points. However they are on my company’s heavily branded template and therefore are 1.93 MB in size. Thinking this was the problem I put the slides on a blank template and just included a logo, cutting them down to 300 KB in size- still it froze when publishing. When beginning a project I will
    -          Import slides from Power Point
    -          Import them as Background Image
    -          Advance slides automatically
    Then I will import the audio, which admittedly is very large at just shy of 3 hours in length and 157 MB in size. I will then click the distribute audio over several slides option and do that manually in accordance with the lecture. When I publish I choose flash player 8 and the audio settings are MP3, 64 kpbs, 44.10 KHz
    Is I just that the audio is too large or does anyone have any other ideas?
    I would be very grateful for any help

    Hi there
    Wow, I would think 3 hours of audio would gag Captivate big time. Most of the Captivate movies I've ever seen or dealt with were perhaps five minutes long if that.
    Are you able to perhaps slice and dice the audio? My thought here is that if you really need three hours of audio, perhaps you break the three hour clip in to smaller segments. This would reduce the size of each project and perhaps help you be more successful. Maybe slice a three hour audio clip into six segments of 30 minutes each. Then see if your publishing is more successful working with smaller segments. If so, you could then Daisy Chain the projects together to achieve a seamless transfer where as one segment finishes, the next loads up and plays.

  • Captivate v5 Freezes when Pick Color tool selected

    When I click on the Pick Color tool Captivate v5 (eLearning suite edition) freezes and locks up my computer.  Task manager won't even start so I can't stop Captivate running.  End up having to hard boot the computer.  Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Any potential solution?

    Maybe something has corrupted. Try the normal work flows:
    1. Clear cache and check if that helps
    2. Refresh Preferences, you can use the batch file in Utils under the installation folder; this will delete all customisation however.

  • Captivate 8 Freezes When Printing Handouts to Word 2013

    Printing handouts to Word freezes Captivate 8 when the progress bar reaches 90%. At this point, via the Windows task manager, I gather that Word is asking to save both the .normal template and a file 'Adobe Captive.dotm' in the gallery folder. Clicking the save button has no effect, other than messages noting that these files are locked or read only.
    I am able to work around this by first starting Word as an administrator (and leaving it running) then starting Captivate as an administrator. But this only works for me because I own my hardware. This will be an issue for corporate users lacking admin rights on their PCs.
    The issue does not resolve permanently after doing the above workaround. Rather, as soon as I am not logged in as an admin, the issue recurs. Printing Step by Step docs to Word works without the workaround, possibly because the Word formatting is rudimentary. I have tried several output locations on the C: drive, desktop, etc. with the same results.
    I am running Webroot antivirus, Windows 8, on an i7 ultrabook with ample memory and drive space. Adobe personnel, this issue is noted in Case #0185556636.
    Thanks!

    If you navigate to the EXE files for Captivate and Word in the Program Files folder, right click the EXE and set the option in the Compatibility tab to Run As Administrator, then these applications should always launch with Administrator privileges.
    You are correct that corporate users will not likely be able to do this as most corporate systems are locked down to a point where common users do not have any level of admin privileges.  There are times when Captivate will simply NOT work well for those users.

  • Captivate closes down when importing slides/objects/widgets

    My Captivate 4 is bugging up.  When I try to import slides/objects or widgets the slide goes white and the program shuts down.
    I need to use the import function to complete my movies, and do not have time to recreate them all.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, and if I there is a way to fix it?
    None of my movies are more than 30 screens, so it should not be size.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    Seems indeed that something got corrupted, could be a slide (or more) or objects. But it is difficult to tell the real cause. To detect the culprit, try to copy to a new blank project (same resolution), but not all slides at once. How did you copy/paste images: from another application or between slides? If it is from a graphical app please use the Insert function to preserve quality.
