Captivate freezing Error Message

Hi,
Captivate continues to freeze randomly through projects. I get the error "A fatal error has occured 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 restart, yet I continue to face this error. This has happened to me 3 times already and it's very frustrating. I basically have to start over on my projects. My projects are saved to My Documents folder. I've tried clearing the cache.
I went through uninstalling and reinstalling Captivate but I got this error message after it finished: This is on a Windows 7 pc.
Exit Code: 6

Exit Code 6 means that some of the supporting components for the application are not installed correctly.
Reason : may be they are already installed on your machine or they didnt got uninstalled when you tried to uninstall the application last time.
Try launching the application, it should work.
now for the error that you get with the project.
Please try to create a test project and see if you get the same error on that project as well.
if you do not get this error with the new test project, then try to copy all the slides of the original project into a new blank project, save it with a different name and then check.
Thanks

Captivate 3 - Error messages don't display

My slides have click boxes with errors attached. Error options are set to Pause for Failure caption.
Click box is postioned on the TOP of the timeline, and should be active, with a caption too, once the voiceover finishes.
Caption and click box displays but when I intentionally click elsewhere the error will not display.
Blue buttons in the RHS panel execute javascript but have no pause and no options defined for them except display for rest of slide.
Appreciate any suggestions thanks.

No answers here and I am wondering why. I have read past discussions about "Failure captions not displaying" and have noted all
the suggestions but still have not been able to get them working.
Click box is the uppermost (top) item in the timeline...and they are positioned after the slide voiceover so I would have thought there was sufficient time for them to become active.
Getting a little desperate about how to fix this.
Happy to try anything.
Regards
Rumbles

Re Captivate 4 Error Message

Hi Guys, I am just in the course preferences and want to publish the work, but I keep getting this back? 'Enter a valid comments location to continue'?
I cant see what needs to be checked here or if I have checked something by mistake that has triggered this? I have been setting up the SCORM setting but again there seems to be no commenting boxs or location assignment boxs??? Any ideas welcome. Cheers PC

Hello,
The comments directory is normally where you'll have reviewer comments posted. Could you check the Preferences (Edit menu) and see which path is indicated? Perhaps it is an invalid path, you do not really need to indicate one there, but it has to be valid if you do.

Adding Click box makes Captivate freeze up and end in error and closing down.

Since the patch yesterday, everytime I go to add a Click Box to a slide, Captivate freezes, says not responding at the top and eventually the ol' "Captivated ended in error, send error info to Microsoft". I have lost my work so many times today. I have cleared all temp files, etc. shut down, powered down, etc. to try and clear whatever it is, but it is still happening. The project and Captivate was working ok yesterday. Just the "usual" Captivate locking up and falling down. I am using this on Windows XP.
Message was edited by: donnaj Actually, now when trying to record a new slide Captivate locked up and I got the message. In fact I had to HARD BOOT the system...
Cannot do with Captivate today really. Apart from changing sizes of highlight boxes.

Hi there
"I do not see any documentation stating a limitation."
This is true. You seldom (if ever) see things like this in any manufacturer documentation. After all, their goal is to sell the product and tell you how great it is and how it will address your needs. Limitations are viewed as a negative, so they are typically omitted. I'm sure Toyota didn't have any docs that said that "oh yes, and by the way, sometimes the gas pedal will stick". Or Microsoft doesn't say "by the way, Windows will sometimes crash on you and you will have to totally reinstall our operating system when that happens".
Things like project limitations are learned by end users sharing their collective experiences and wisdom here and in other places on the web. Captivate has always had a size limitation. Often we recommend that folks keep projects somewhere between 50-65 slides as a common "rule of thumb" guideline. Our hope is that a future version will remove any such limitations. But my guess is that you will then see some other unexpected issue emerge. Such is the nature of the software beast.
Another thing that is never mentioned anywhere except in third party materials is the fact that Captivate projects should not be placed on a network unless you are doing that as a backup mechanism. You never want to place a project on a network drive, then open Captivate and proceed to open the project and make edits while the project is on the network drive. Working in this manner holds the risk of completely corrupting your project and rendering it unusable.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player. The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears. An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit. My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8. DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops. My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9. The DVD Player is version 4.0. My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2. The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0. The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

My macbook pro suddenly freezes; screen turns off and computer freezes. Have to hard restart. Error message appears upon restart, saying something about kernel, etc. Can anyone please help on this issue?

For the past month or more I've encountered what I consider to be quite a serios problem with my Macbook pro. The laptop suddenly freezes without warning, the screen turns black, while the hard drive apparently stals and the system no longer responds. The only way to resolve this issues is to restart the computer via a hard reset. After restarting, an error message box shows up asking me to report the error, which I've already done on numerous occassions. The problem occurs at a frequency of 1 every 2-3 days, sometimes more often than that. The error message that comes up is very complicated but contains some key words amongst which includes "kernel." This makes me believe that it's an issue with the video card, and was wondering how I can remediate this problem so as to get the normal function of my laptop back. If anyone can be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results

Error message: "Warning: unresponsive script". Afterward, the system freezes and will then crash. Crash reports have been submitted many, many times without response. I have tried the fore-mentioned solutions with either no results or very bad results which I filed a report but did not receive an answer. The application to block scripts actually worsened the problem and I could not correct the situation for a while (no response from Firefox, at all). I have also been through this procedure without any one contacting me, AT ALL.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://http://www.facebook.com (always) and www.YouTube.com (sometimes)

There does appear to be any support whatsoever from mighty "non caring" FIREFOX & people are getting fed up. We may as well try another system, if they can't be bothered to provide any support for their system, we can't be bothered to use their system.

Error message from new_block_instance freezes form

I show a message in the new block_instance of a form by using fnd_message.error. The messages shows up fine but the form freezes after that. Following is the code :
if name_in('promise_demand.atp_error_message') is not null then
fnd_message.set_string(name_in('promise_demand.atp_error_message'));
          fnd_message.error;
          copy(null, 'promise_demand.atp_error_message');
          --raise form_trigger_failure;
          go_item('promise_demand.sales_date');
     end if;
I tried using raise form trigger failure , it doesnt work , the go_item also causes the form to freeze.
Please help, how can i show this message and return control to the form.
thanks

Any ideas please ? The problem is that the control does not go to message popup . The OK button on the error message popup is disabled. So I am not able to click on it to hide it .
Even if I dont give the go_item('promise_demand.sales_date');
it's the same.
Please help.

Macbook freezes with Error Message in a Black Box and asks for reboot.

Now here is new problem (i dont know if specifically macbook related or something to do with Mac software). I have faced this thrice today.....
Suddenly my Macbook freezes and in the center of the screen I get a black transparent box (quite big) with error message written in few languages. It simply asks me to hold down the power button for sometime to reboot the Macbook. I have found the Macbook freezes completely, no working keys, trackpad, etc all disabled. And after I push the power button the macbook shutsdown.
On rebooting there is no problem at all, i just loose all the work that was open...
Can someone tell if there is some remedy.. or what needs to be done.... Also is this hardware related or software...
I must mention my macbook is also have RSD problems...

What you are seeing is the message that results from what is known as a kernel panic: a serious error usually caused by some sort of hardware malfunction. The path to debug this is to make sure you unplug any external devices you have attached (if any) and see if the problem persists. If you still have the problem, it could mean a bad video card, logic board, RAM, RAM slot, etc. If you have RSD, then you already know you have a hardware problem, and this is just more evidence of it. Time to go to an Apple Certified Repair shop and have them look at it.
Good luck!

Error Message when closing Captivate v4

I have just started to get the below error message when I close down Captivate 4.
Things seem (repeat ...seem) OK when I open Captivate again, but any error message is a worry, especially in Captivate.
Does anyone have any ideas what this is all about, and how to fix the problem it refers to?

My itunes is freezing up each time i open it and giving me an error message

All of a sudden my Itunes is freezing up about 30 seconds after it opens. I am running windows XP and I keep getting a "itunes needs to shut down" message asking if i want to send a report to Microsoft or not. Has anyone had problems like this, where one day Itunes just stopped working with no other change to the computer?

It is fully inserted.. it has not work for about 2 years. When the SD card reader is inserted it opens up and I begin to download. I get an error message saying the device was eject improperly.

What precise steps do I take to STOP this annoying 'unresponsive script' freezing of computer; error message: "resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:329"

When computer is first turned on, and after Firefox is launched, the screen freezes. It continues to remain unresponsive to any mouse clicks or keyboard actions. After 10 to 20 minutes error message pops up:
Unresponsive script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:329
followed by 2 choices (buttons): wait for script to finish running or stop the script.
This is an enormous waste of time and highly frustrating.
If you answer this question or provide a solution, kindly do not use technical or vague terms like "check if there's a problem with the hardware accelerator or with add-on or extensions". That's too general and I can't follow up. It's a bit like saying "go cook a meal". Instead, I'd appreciate if you give precise instructions, steps 1, step 2, step 3 and so on. Thank you.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF YOU PROVIDE A SOLUTION!!

Loading the latest OS on my iPhone4 caused the phone to freeze. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone. Any help will be appreciated

Loading the latest OS on my Iphone 4 caused the phone to freeze and stop working. I get error message 4013 when trying to restore the phone.

Did you already try these suggestions?
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
