Losing work and freezing up in Captivate 4 when adding any objects or recording slide

I've been using C4 for two months without any big issues until now. I can't record any new screens to my current file without the whole program crashing. In addition, I can't paste in the objects that make the project interactive without crashing.
I've tried deleting all my temp files (the error window referenced temp files)
disconnecting from the network
rebooting a dozen times
closing and reopening the program a dozen times
moving my files off my desktop (the path to the file is short and on my local drive--as the forums suggest) and onto the network, then back again
Nothing has worked.
The project is only 50 slides, so it is not excessively large.
I just tried opening an older file from  a previous project and copying and pasting objects within that file. It worked fine.
This tells me the issue is likely with the current project and the way we built it from a previous project file ( we used the previous project as a template for the new one). It must have something in it that is slowing it down and creating errors.
I don't know what to do except to rebuild the whole lesson in a new file. This has put me 3 days behind on a milestone that does not have any wiggle room.
I got three screens edited in 4 hours yesterday.
Can anyone tell me what the fix would be for this? Is the best practice to not use old projects as templates? Is the only fix to copy and paste slides into a new project file?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

One more thing I forgot to mention, the day before this issue arose, I turned off the function to make backup project file. I did turn it back on when I started losing work with all the crashes.

  • Bridge CC is asking my to 'purge cache'. When I do this doesn't work and freezes my mac. Bridge is unable to work at all. Please help?

    When I start up Bridge CC I get a error message instructing me to purge cache in preferences which I do but it doesn't work and freezes my mac. I cannot curretnly use Bridge CC. PLease help as this is costing me time and money - thank you in advance....

    Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge, keep it down until you see a dialog box, then click all three options in the re-set box that comes up.
    If you don't see that re-set box, you're doing it wrong, i.e., you're not holding the Option key down fast enough.

  • My weather channel app doesn't work and freezes my phone

    My weather channel app doesn't work and freezes my phone.  I've tried closing the app.  Also tried deleting and readding it.  All my other apps work.

    Try this:
    Make sure your iPhone is fully updated.
    Restart your iPhone
    Do NOT open the app, just delete it
    Reset your iPhone (hold down sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously until you see an apple logo, then release the buttons)
    Readd the app
    Open the app and test.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then it may be an issue with the app itself and you might have to contact the app's developer.

  • Omnibug is not working and freezes everytime on click

    I had installed Omnibug to track Omniture events. After 2 days, Omnibug stopped working and freezes every time I click on it. On clicking Omnibug, all other tabs in Firebug (placed along with Omnibug) stop working. I have tried to re-install everything-mozilla firefox,firebug & Omnibug but nothing seems to work. Please find attached the screenshot. Also, for some reason firefox works with a web debugging tool for initial few days then stops working all of a sudden (ex: Fiddler, Charles, Omnibug)

    Currently this add on for Firebug is a preliminary add on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/faq#preliminary]
    Please also contact the developer of the add on from their add on page: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/omnibug/]

  • Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

    If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

    Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier.  Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

    Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Thanks...I have tried the various options and the only item of interest is that my only account on this computer says it has 102 gig of memory used up.  However, when I open and look at the individual files, they add up to less than 15 gigs.

  • Flash stops working and freezes firefox. I have Fast dial and dont want to lose it so what can I do to fix this?

    It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.

    Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
    Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
    Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
    This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying
    Best regards

    Does your computer have one of the LSPs mentioned in the article?
    If it does, try resetting Winsock.

  • When I go to tools then options firefox stopes working and freezes

    when I go to tools then options Firefox freezes and I have to go to task manager and end task to close Firefox and it has been like this for a long time. I just had my computer in the shop and had them go over everything and when I got it back it worked ONCE then stopped again ?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
