Permanently run Captivate as an administrator

Hi,
Captivate advises that for audio and simulations you should always "run as an Administrator".
Is there any problem running it permanently for everything as an administrator using the compatibility settings ?
(We are having some problems with videos being cut off etc and we hoped this might be a fix).
Here are the instructions for setting the compatibility mode to always run as an administrator for acrobat, and it would be similar for captivate with different directories

Hi Rod,
I haven't explained myself very well
I agree that the "Captivate CPTX file is nothing to do with whether a 32 bit or 64 bit app was used to create or edit it."
BUT
if you click on a a CPTX file windows via windows explorer or as a shortcut you have on the desktop then Windows 7 knows whether to open the 32 bit or the 64 bit of Captivate based on the association file in the control panel (Control panels -> default programs -> set associations).
We have found that unlike photoshop the default extension handler is 32 bit not 64 bit.
This means that we have some developers that are alternating between 32 bit when they use file manager AND 64 bit when they use Captivate itself to open a file

Lightroom 5 permanently runs out of memory

Lightroom 5 on Windows 7 32 Bit and 8 Gigabytes of memory (more than the 32 Bit system can use) permanently runs out of memory when doing some more complex edits on a RAW file, especially when exporting to 16 Bit TIFF. The RAW files were created by cameras with 10 up to 16 megapixel sensors with bit depths between 12 and 14.
After exporting one or two images to 16 Bit uncompressed TIFF an error message "Not enough memory" will be displayed and only a Lightroom restart solves that - for the next one to two exports. If an image has much brush stroke edits, every additional stroke takes more and more time to see the result until the image disappears followed by the same "Not enough memory" error message.
A tab character in the XMP sidecar file is *not* the reason (ensured that), as mentioned in a post. It seems that Lightroom in general does not allocate enough memory and frees too less/late allocated.
Please fix that bug, it's not productive permanently quit and restart Lightroom when editing/exporting a few RAW files. Versions prior to Lightroom 4 did not have that bug.
P.S. Posting here, because it was not possible to post it at http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new It's very bad design, to let a user take much time to write and then say: "Log in", but a log in with the Adobe ID and password does not work (creating accounts on Facebook etc. is not an acceptable option, Adobe ID should be enough). Also a bugtracker such as Bugzilla would be a much better tool for improving a software and finding relevant issues to avoid duplicate postings.

First of all: I personally agree with your comments regarding the feedback webpage. But that is out of our hands since this is a user-to-user forum, and there is nothing we users can do about it.
Regarding your RAM: You are running Win7 32-bit, so 4 GB of your 8 GB of RAM sit idle since the system cannot use it. And, frankly, 4 GB is very scant for running Lr, considering that the system uses 1 GB of that. So there's only 3 GB for Lr - and that only if you are not running any other programs at the same time.
Since you have a 8 GB system already, why don't you go for Win7 64-bit. Then you can also install Lr 64-bit and that - together with 8 GB of RAM - will bring a great boost in Lr performance.
Adobe recommends to run Lr in the 64-bit version. For more on their suggestion on improving Lr performance see here:

How do I solve this issue so I can use the Captivate software?

- You can only sync with one iTune library but you can manually music music and vides with different computers. To do so go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

Looking for a SCORM Player or LMS to run Captivate SCORM content (in place of Blackboard 9.1)

Greetings,
Background:
We are trying to run Captivate produced SCORM 1.2 in Blackboard 9.1 and are running into several problems (See http://discussions.blackboard.com/forums/p/49773/152443.aspx Please post any solutions to the problems described in that thread in that thread rather than here).
One of the options we are considering is playing and tracking our SCORM content in a separte LMS or with a different SCORM player.
The question:
Can anybody recommend any (ideally free) LMS or SCORM players that have been tested to work with Captivate CS5?
Many thanks for your help.
Andrew Downes

Thanks, that's helpful. Moodle looks like an option then; the challenge will be finding a way to integrate the Moodle SCORM player with Blackboard.
What other LMSs or SCOPRM players are people using successfully (or unsucessfully) with Captivate? is anybody else using Moodle?
I'm espeically keen to hear from anybody who has found a free SCORM player and integrated it with their LMS/VLE and got it to play and track captivate content well. Has anybody tried integrating the Reload player with thier LMS and running a Captivate SCORM?
Thanks.

Can't run programs installed under Administrator

Our user DLU's run at the User level, so we install any extra software that isn't on our image using the local Administrator account. Sometimes users are prompted to enter the Administrator password just to run such software, but it seems to depend on the program.
Virtual Apps are not always possible so I'm trying to understand the mechanics of why Users can run something installed under Administrator.

If you want them to be able to install software, make them part of the
administrators or power users group.
Of course, what's gonna happen to them WHEN they install improper software
(not IF, it is a WHEN).
What software are you trying to install?
You should probably look up the app @ the website www.appdeploy.com
While not specific to ZCM, it has an incredible wealth of info on specific
applications and how to deploy/package them

Most users are trying to install simple .exe files for browser addons
and they are nearly attacking me for the rights to do this. There has
got to be an easier way than trying to make a bundle each time some
small install issue comes up.
I just want my users to be able to install whatever they want. If they
blow up their machine we can reimage it.

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case.

Running Captivate 8 on a Macbook and I am unable to import Powerpoint 2011 (which is up to date) files or slides. I get an error saying that either the file is damaged or I am using an older version of PP....which is not the case. I tried creating a very simple PP file with just a few words on one slide...ran a compatibility check and all was good. Still could not import that simple slide into Captivate.

OK...found out it did not like me saving as a *.pptx. When I save it as a *.ppt file it imported in correctly. Is this what I will need to do moving forward? I am not sure if I am losing any functionality in the process...

Can I run as a non-administrator?

I run on a Windows XP user account that does not have administrator priveledges. The administrator installed ADE and I can run it. However, if I attempt to get a book from Adobe's web site, it wants me to install ADE. Of course, if I try to install it, that fails with a message indicating I need "administrator access". Is there any way I can run as a non-administrator user (so not being able to install a program), but still download books?

Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …
Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

Time Machine permanently running?

I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but my iMac seems to be permanently running Time Machine to back up to my Time Capsule.
It's literally just completed a 131Mb backup and has started now another one!
These backups seem to be extremely slow, yet the TC is connected using an ethernet connection.
Is it possible that my antivirus software is slowing the backup process down so much, that the next hourly backup starts almost immediately?
My TC is just over half full.
Also, when I Enter Time Machine, it takes ages - well, 5 to 10 minutes, really - before I can start scrolling through my old files. Is this normal?
Thank you,
Pete

The transfer is much too slow. Abort the backup, if it's still running, then boot in safe mode and try again.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer.

We have a simple runbook that runs an .exe program local on a remote server.
When I run the runbook within the Runbook Designer and the Runbook Tester it runs succesfully.
When I run the runbook within the Orchestration Console (http://server4:82) I get the error message "Access is denied. Installing Orchestrator Run Program Service requires administrative privileges on the target computer."
Orchestrator hierarchy:
server1 Management Server
server2 Runbook Designer
server3 Runbook Server
server4 Web Server

Already solved it!
Even after making the Service Account a Domain Admin it didn't work after restarting the two services on server1. But I forgot the service on server3! Apparently when you use the Web Server it runs the runbook through the Runbook Server and when you
use Runbook Designer it runs locally within the Runbook Tester?

How can IT departments set up basic users to run Captivate with Administrator privileges?

As we all know, on WinVista and Win7 or later systems Adobe Captivate must be launched with Run As Administrator privileges in order to function correctly and not crash. But the problem here is that in many corporate environments general users are not allowed to have Administrator access to their own work PCs. This presents something of a dilemma for IT departments with Adobe Captivate users.
Some time ago on this forum one of the Adobe technical staff chimed in on a thread about the Run As Administrator command and explained the technical steps required to set up a Group Policy in WinVista/Win7 that would allow a basic user to always launch Captivate with the necessary admin privileges even though they did NOT have Administrator access to any other app on their PC.
I have searched in vain to find that particular thread and post, so I've started this thread in the hope that someone at Adobe can again chime in to detail the necessary steps again.
So is there anyone there that can help out?

DOH! my bad.....I/we run WinXP at present and no UAC.

Firefox will not open unless I run it in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP 3), run it as an administrator, or launch it immediately after a reinstall (the reinstall thing only works once.) How do I fix this?

This morning, Firefox crashed. After this, when I click the Firefox icon, the hourglass appears and then nothing happens. Firefox does briefly appear in the task manager when I do this.
I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling multiple times. (Firefox will run when I select "Launch Firefox" from the installer. Then the problem occurs again.) I tried safe mode. I have found that Firefox will work if I select Windows XP compatibility mode from the icon properties menu or if I run the program as an administrator. When I do this, Windows asks me if I want a program to be able to make changes to my computer.
I have noticed that a Windows Error Report is being generated each time Firefox will not open.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Win7 64 bit, FF 3.6.12, Acrobat Reader 9, can only open pdf file if I run FF as an administrator. Will not open if FF is run as a standard user.

If I run FF in a standard user account (non-admin) pdf files will not open. If I start FF in the standard user account but right-click FF and "run as administrator" the same pdf file will now open fine.

( links in emails )
this is what fixed my issue with links in my windows live mail

Trying to update to firefox 7.0 when press "run" it ask for administrator's password and will not let me go further. Please advise

Download Firefox 7.0 (currently running out of date version)
Click to open file
Click Run to start running file
Ask for Admin password
Will not go further into installing
Please advise.

Once I downloaded the update, I was unable to right click "run as administrator" from the exe file. How I was finally able to update to the newest version was to:
* click the start menu
* click search
* type in firefox
* scroll down to Firefox setup 7.0.1.exe
* right click and select 'run as administrator'
The rest was 'easy as pie'. Hope this helps those that had the same trouble I did.
