PPT error message:  Some controls on this presentation can't be activated..

I can export a PPT file from Xcelsius, save it to a shared drive, and open it fine on my laptop. However, if I add the file to InfoView and then myself or anyone else tries to open it, we get the dreaded "Some controls on this presentation can't be activated. They might not be registered on this computer." message. Also, any user I send the file to via email gets this message. Not sure why I can open the exported file from the original saved location, but it does not seem to allow opening from any other location (email, InfoView, etc).
I can open an exported .PDF file from anywhere just fine.
I have verified I have the latest version of Flash. I am running Xcelsius 2008 SP1, FP3 (latest and greatest), Office 2007. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!
Did you ever solve this? We are experiencing the same behaviour.It works when opening a local copy of the presentation, when opening from InfoView (XI 3.1) it doesn't. I also know that the presentation on the FRS is working since I have copied it from the FRS to a local drive and opened it successfully.
Best Regards
/Jonas

  • Error: "Some controls on this presentation cannot be activated"

    Hello,
    A friend has sent me a Powerpoint presentation with an embedded Crystal Xcelsius ActiveX control.
    On one of my PCs this displays perfectly, and I was on the point of buying the product when fortunately I got feedback from a number of other colleagues.  Out of the six people I sent the presentation to, only one person could play it.  All of the others experiences this error when opening the presentations:
    "Some controls on this presentation cannot be activated"
    I searched the forums and came across this rather brief description:
    http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=4360796&sliceId=&dialogID=12028678&stateId=1%200%2012034044
    As recommended, I installed Flash Player 9 on one of the affected PCs, but it did not cure the problem.
    On request, my colleague sent me versions of the presentation in Acrobat and Word and both of these files play on all the PCs.  So for some reason it's only Powerpoint that won't work.
    I'm very impressed with the power and beauty of Xcelsius, but it seems pointless to use something that can't be viewed by most of the people I'd want to see it.
    Is there a better description of this problem?  For example:
    - How do I uninstall Flash Player 9?
    - Where do I find Flash Player 8 (couldn't find it on the Adobe site)
    - How do I "uninstall ActiveX"??
    - If the Flash version is the problem, why does it work fine for Acrobat and Word?  Surely this is a Powerpoint issue?
    - If this is such a big problem, why is it not possible to select a target verson of Flash within Xcelsius (I've seen this feature in other Flash converters, such as Camtasia).
    Details:
    PCs are all Windows XP SP2
    Powerpoint 2003 and 2007, and various combinations seem to share the problem
    Flash Player 9

    This is a Flash security issue and compatibility issue. If the dashboard is created and exported from a machine running Flash 9, then anyone who wants to view the dashboard will need to also have Flash 9. One solution would be to make sure everyone you may send it to has downloaded the latest version of Flash. The other would be to downgrade the Flash version on your machine to an older version. Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 requires at least Flash 7. Instructions for uninstalling your current Flash version and installing an older version can be found on Adobe's website. http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/
    Another cause of the error, could be the end viewer's security settings. Flash 7 and later versions have a security setting that require a cross-domain policy file.  See the above website for more info.
    Also anyone installing Flash must be sure that the Active X control is downloaded from an Internet Explorer web browser.

  • I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

    I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes.  What next?  I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

    I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer.  I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours.  They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways.  Each install gave the same problem!  If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble.  They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution.  I am waiting and hoping.  Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

  • Revel Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded."

    Error Message: "Some files could not be uploaded. 1 file was unable to be uploaded and was skipped." I am a Revel user from its inception. I have never had upload errors before in Adobe Revel. I am trying to upload jpeg files in the same way I have done for months, which is by dragging and dropping files directly into an album I have created. Starting yesterday, only some files upload properly. Others receive the above error message. When I have tried to re-upload the jpegs which have not gone, I receive either the same error message or a slightly different error which indicates the files are not uploading because they are duplicates. They're not duplicates and appear nowhere else in my Revel albums. I have rebooted my Window 7 PC, I have repeatedly logged out and back into Revel. I have tried both Firefox and IE. I have tried creating new albums and uploading the failed files to a new album. I have cleared my Firefox cache. I have tried both the "drag and drop" feature and the "Add Photos or Videos" button in Revel. I have tried using the "Export to Revel" feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I have tried uploading never-before-attempted files, and - on average - only 25% of those brand-new files are uploading. I am a subscriber and pay for the Revel service, so I am not bumping into any upload quotas. I have read through these forums and have found problems similar to mine as far back as May 2013, but none of the problems ever seem to have been resolved other than the users simply giving up. Can you help? I am becoming increasingly confused with respect to which files have succeeded and which files have failed. Thank you. -Dori

    You can have many libraries with many albums and files within them. Each library is independent, so if you upload a file to two libraries then you two copies. If you put a photo from a library in albums that live within that library, then there is only one copy in the library that each album has access to so it will show up when you view the album. This might help : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5197228#5197228.
    I found a few incomplete files in your account also. We will take care of this for you and contact you when it is complete.

  • IBook Store error message "you cannot update this item"

    When my book was finally in the iBookstore, I purchased it, to see how the process works and if everything is ok for a potential customer. Turned out that I mad some minor mistakes, which I fixed (hopefully) and published an new Version (successfully, I guess). Now I need to update the purchased book to cheeck if everything is ok.
    There IS an Update in the iBookstore, but trying to run the update ends up in an error message "you cannot update this item".
    My fault? Not my fault? What to do?
    Has anyone an idea?

    It took quite a while to find this:
    Dear xy,
    Thank you for purchasing “Inside Apple”. A new version of the book is available to you at no charge.
    Here is how to download the new version:
    1) Tap the iBooks app on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. If you are already in the iBookstore, tap on “Library”.
    2) Tap the “Edit” button.
    3) Locate “Inside Apple”, tap “Edit” and then “Delete” to delete the book.
    4) Tap the “Done” button.
    5) Tap the “Store” button, scroll down to the bottom of the page and sign out of your account.
    6) The page will refresh. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and sign back in to your account.
    7) If you are not already in the “Purchases” page, tap the “Purchases” icon at the bottom right corner of your screen.
    8) Locate “Inside Apple” in your purchases and tap the “Redownload” button.
    You will now have the updated version of the iBook in your library. Thank you for being a loyal Apple customer and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    iTunes Store Team

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

    Just last 2 days started getting an APS Daemon.exe-System Error saying my MSVCR80.dll file is missing when booting up my PC with Windows 7.  I tried to reinstall itunes, but got another error message.  Anyone having this problem or know how to fix it?

    I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version."  You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!!  What a piece of crap!  If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute! 

    Strip it out and start again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-09-09)
    iTunes 11.4.0.18 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-09-09)

  • Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?

    I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes.  I keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?  I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed.  I tried this and that didn't help.  I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc.  I have not tried this yet.  I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue.  I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord.  Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities?  Thanks for the help.

    A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

    You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust.  Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
