Presenter starting random slides on re-launch from LMS

After publishing and uploading to our LMS, I'm able to view the entire presentation, but upon completion and relaunch, the lesson begins at random slides - sometime slide 4, sometimes 25, sometimes 11, etc...
I need the presentation to start at the beginning for viewers to watch again from the beginning.

Just spent some time chatting with tech support. For some reason they have never heard of this problem but it seems to be all over the internet. Anyway their solution was to right click on the Power Point icon and set properties to run as the administrator. Then put all the source files on the same drive (now on the "C" drive). OK, I did all that and got the same results. Next idea was to create a short test presentation so I created a 5 slide test and Presenter skipped slide 3. On the suggestion from another user I looked at the recorded video (not the edited video) and you can see the missing slide flash by. It is on screen less than a second. So it has something to do with the recording.

How can I get a module created in Captivate 4 to start on slide 2 when launched?

How can I get a module created in Captivate 4 to start on slide 2 when launched?

Hello
Wanted to ask why do you have that first slide then? Just tried this:
create and Advanced action with one statement: Jump to slide 2
attach this action to the even Enter slide for the first slide
You may see very quickly that first slide when playing. To avoid that (but it depends on the content of that first slide) you could cover up the beginning of that slide for a very short time with a white rectangle.

Starting a swf slide presentation at random slide

I have a swf slide presentation of 9 slides. I would like the
swf to start at the beginning of a randomly chosen slide. Any ideas
on how to do this? I saw some msgs here about starting at random
frames, but nothing pertaining to slides.
Thanks, John

You can import pictures into programs such as Photoshop and sharpen them or make other corrections but the results will depend on how much information remains in your photo. It is always better to work with the original image than to copy it out of a power point presentation. I am moving the discussion to the Photoshop forum in case you need more help.

I have a presentation with 100 slides. During the first 10 slides I want one song to start playing from slide

I have a presentation with +100 slides. During the first 10 slides I want one song to start from the beginning, at the 11th slide a new song starts from the beginning, and so on during the entire presentation. How do I do? Thanks in advance. janfromfinland

This is a very common request which unfortunately has not been satisfactorily answered albeit for very complicated workarounds using multiple duplicates of your keynote file and hyperlinking them.
The easiest alternative is to have iTunes play in the background timed to begin when you manually start the keynote. You can create a playlist so the tracks run into each other, or better yet combine them into one track using a free editor like GarageBand. You'll need to rehearse your timings. Hopefully, youre not trying to match lyrics with words or animations as this is not the most exact way to do so.
The alternative is to create a separate keynote file of those 10 slides and export them to QuickTime, reimport the movie into keynote and add the music track to the file. That will give more accurate timing. The most accurate timing would be tom import the QuickTime movie into iMovie and add the soundtrack with exact timings. Ive done this successfully except for the fact that exporting this way fools around with any build timings.
S the final alternative is to do your first 10 slides with music from iTunes and advance the slides manually using screenflow or the latest QuickTime in lion to record the screen Inc music.
All troublesome but doable workarounds until Apple comes to our aid.

Indesign not launching from start menu

I am currently running InDesign CC 2014 and witnessing a frustrating behavior. I am able to launch InDesign from the Creative Cloud Application, but if I double click on and InDesign file, ort try to launch from my start bar, the application doesn't launch.
Any help would be much appreciated.

From the sound of it, the OS doesn't know InDesign is the default application for .indd files and you have an out-of-date link in your start bar. The CC app knows what InDesign is, but the OS doesn't, so the remedy is to either set up the default manually or uninstall and reinstall InDesign. the installation process will add the necessary defaults to the OS.
This happened, possibly, because you uninstalled an earlier version of InDesign after you had installed the new one. This is a frailty of the uninstaller (all of the Adobe apps suffer the same problem) that I hope will be fully addressed soon. At present, the necessary sequence to avoid problems (if you don't want to keep an earlier version of an app) is: a) install new version, b) migrate preferences, etc., c) uninstall old version, d) uninstall, then reinstall new version.

What does this mean: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"? I tried reinstalling, but I get an error message saying something about permission to launch services.

Prog only launches from Start Menu

I've had this happen before and just let it work that way but its
happening again with some new programs and I'd like to find out why?
I Snapshot the program as always, it installs fine but will not launch
from the Nal icon. It is a simple program and works fine from the
Program menu that the install creates. The only thing out of the
ordinary is that the paths to the executable are long
ex. C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections
v2.0 Net\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
Under Nal its set as
%TARGET_PATH%\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
and Target Path =
C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections v2.0 Net
Is there anything else that I should look at that might cause this not
to launch from the NAL icon?
Zenworks 3.2 sp3, Client 4.83 sp2 Netware 6
Thanks

Some questions / suggestions:
- Are there any command line switches used when starting this application?
If so, it may help if you place them within quotes, especially if there
are spaces in between.
- you say it's an old application. Does the shortcut to the application
contain a start directory, and if so, is this long filename or 8.3
filename? If there is a start directory in the shortcut, you should also
use this in you application object
- What exact error message do you get?
Hope this helps a bit,

Slide effect - change dinamically from to

Hi,
i try to build a slide effect (v1.5) for change dinamically
the options 'from' and 'to', the scope is obtain a graphic
interface for domotics application (eg. open sliding-windows to
25%)
i used this sample code, but the value in the effect not
change:
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='25%';"
value="Set To 25%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='50%';"
value="Set To 50%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='75%';"
value="Set To 75%">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.options.to='100%';"
value="Set To 100%">
<input type="button" onclick="alert(slide.options.to);"
value="CHECK">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.start();"
value="START">
<div id="slidingWindows">
<div>
<div>img src="images/window.jpg" alt="" border="0"
/></div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var slide = new Spry.Effect.Slide('slidingWindows',
{duration: 2000, from: '0%', to: '25%', toggle: false,
scaleContent:true});
</script>
Thanks!

Hello,
The percent values are translated in pixel values when the
effect is instantiated. The result is cached and later used in each
of the animators. If you manually set a new value the effect will
ignore those values.
Your problem is a little bit more complicated. You'll have to
create a more complex script that will instantiate on the fly a new
effect for each button when that button is clicked. Because when
you instantiate an effect another effect it is possible to have run
the percent value will be considered from the current size and not
from the old original size. In this situation we'll have to also
compute manually before effect instantiation the pixel value
against the maximum one:
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('25%');" value="Set
To 25%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('50%');" value="Set
To 50%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('75%');" value="Set
To 75%">
<input type="button" onclick="slideIt('100%');" value="Set
To 100%">
<input type="button" onclick="alert(slide.options.to);"
value="CHECK">
<input type="button" onclick="slide.start();"
value="START">
<div id="slidingWindows">
<div>
<div><img src="images/window.jpg" alt="" border="0"
/></div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function slideIt(to){
var percent = parseInt(to, 10);
// 300 is a random chose value.
var pixels = to * 300 / 100;
slide = new Spry.Effect.Slide('slidingWindows', {duration:
2000, from: '0px', to: pixels + 'px', toggle: false, scaleContent:
true});
// the default value is 25%
slideIt('25%');
</script>

Firefox launching from temp folder after update

Not sure if this is completely normal or not, or if it's even a problem. After updating from 3.6.26 to firefox 10 my firefox, according to an antivirus log, kept launching from a temp directory like appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe instead of its normal program files (x86)\mozilla firefox directory. Trying to delete history each time i'd get 10+ plugin-container.exe's popping up, forcing me to close firefox because it would just hang. I decided to just reinstall firefox 3.6.26 however I am still seeing that it is starting from a temp folder, even though the startup path is located at program files (x86)\mozilla firefox. firefox.exe in task manager is located in
program files (x86)\mozilla firefox, but according to the log I'm looking at it starts and exits from appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm just curious if this means it has not installed properly or if this is completely normal.

I reinstalled 3.6 after I was having problems with 10. I already tried another reinstall and it does the same thing.
Earlier I received a firefox message that a new version of 3.6 was available (3.6.26) so I upgraded. I saw then in the log that firefox was launching as firefox.exe moz-callback or something, so i decided just to upgrade to the newest version of firefox, that's when I started seeing it launch from the improper directory.
The log I am reading from simply shows ALL .exe's that have launched and closed in order, showing it's location path, and what program opened/closed it. The temp directory and the random text string.tmp file it shows it's launching from is a random folder created by firefox during the installing and setup process. Firefox itself starts and exits perfectly fine and doesn't continue running in the background. I'm thinking it's either a logging problem with the AV's execution history log or something was wrong during installing, even though it happens each time I reinstall.

Applications starting randomly

Well, I had hoped the 1.1.4 update would fix that my applications are starting to open randomly. It actually caused me to make a phone call (which I didn't know about) because of that. My last iPhone started doing that in a big way and then it started calling numbers without any input from me. I did a couple restores on that one, then took it to the Genius Bar & they just gave me a new phone which had worked great until recently.
I'm getting ready to do a restore, but if anyone has any other suggestions - I'm open.
Thanks

Hello
Couple questions I have
1. Is the iPhone set to turn off within 1 min, If so does it still automatically dial people without your knowledge?
2. Are you using a Bluetooth Headset at all?
If might be possible when the Bluetooth is in your pocket or bag that pressure is pressing the call button thus dialing random numbers or random contacts without your knowledge. As far as launching Applications I do not believe the bluetooth headset would do this.
3. Are you using any other accessories or cases with your iPhone? Might be possible that one of these accessories is causing this. Try not using them for a couple days see if issue still occurs.
4. Clean the connector on bottom of the iPhone and the head jack, Blowing into it will at times blow out any dust or particles touching the connectors. Do the same with any accessories.
Next time you do a restore, Setup as new iPhone if you have not done so already. It might be possible that corrupt data from one of your files is causing an issue. Please only setup as new iPhone if your contacts, Calenders, etc are already on the PC/Mac and ready to go back via a Sync.
Post back if you need further assistance and to report results.

HT203175 my itunes will not launch from desktop keeps saying not installed properly despite having uninstalled and reinstalled many times

anybody got any ideas ??? won't launch from desktop

Thanks. I read that link before posting here but I wasn't able to do the first part because iTunes will not ever open for me to start it in Safe mode.
Since I posted yesterday, "something" I did must have worked (but I don't know what exactly because I think I didn't do anything). But iTunes just randomly appeared on the system tray yesterday afternoon. It wouldn't open by clicking on it, so I tried to Ctl-Alt-Del to close it, thinking I'd at least get some errors to view in the log, but then about a half hour after I had tried to close it through Ctl-Alt-Del, it actually opened. It still doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S though. If I get that to start working I'll update again.

Multiple projects, yet one flash file launched from browser

Hello everyone, I glad to be a part of this wonderful community. I have a really sticky Captivate 4 problem, and I wanted to get my feelers out there now before I really need to get this done before the end of the week. This question has to do with publishing. I have 7 project files, and I created a "menu" slide at the end of each of them that look exactly the same. In this particular slide, there are 7 'click boxes' spread throughout the page that launch all the other projects. If you are wondering why I did this, it's because I'm trying to cut back on load time when a user click on any individual project. Now, my programmer can only launch one .swf file from our webpage to get the first project started. So, does this mean Captivate will dynamically handle launching all of the other projects(assuming multiple flash files are created) when they are launched from these "menu" slides? I'm a bit confused. I'm likely confusing some of you as well. It is hard to put the problem into writing. Please help!

Okay, so lets look at the problem, shall we?
You created seven projects. But you later asked:
So, does this mean Captivate will dynamically handle launching all of the other projects (assuming multiple flash files are created) when they are launched from these "menu" slides?
First off, with seven different projects, you end up with seven different outputs. Assuming you are using Captivate in the basic form, you will end up with seven different SWF files and seven different HTM files that need to be factored into things. You may have more files than that, depending on your options used.
When you create the links using the Click Boxes, hopefully you used the option: Open other project. This means that when the user clicks, the other SWF/HTM or EXE (depending on output) will be launched.
I'm sure you will have other questions. So just post back either in threads of their own or by replying to this thread.
Cheers... Rick

Keyboard-only navigation drives to random slides - Help!

Hi all,
This was an issue I experienced in previous Mac versions that I was able to mitigate by recreating the project in the PC version. I've since abandoned the Mac version. However, we recently upgraded to Captivate 8 and it now looks like the issue migrated to the PC version.
The projects I create must be Section 508 compliant. The issues I'm experiencing have to do with using the keyboard to navigate through the course. The course only has 6 slides. The slides are identical and have 6 buttons used to navigate to a specific slide. The programming works fine. I can use the mouse and everything works as intended. However, when I use tab to select the button and press enter, it drives me to completely random slides. You don't get consistent results either.
Suppose I use tab to navigate to button 3 (which sends you to slide 3) and press enter. One time it might send me to slide 5 - the next time it might send me to slide 1 - there's no consistency to the error. Again - I can use the mouse and everything works perfectly as intended, but when I start using tab/enter the whole thing goes haywire.
So, has anyone else experienced issues like this? I created everything from scratch within Captivate 8, so I can eliminate the variable of old templates/projects designed in a previous version.

I'll attempt to rephrase:
I built a project in Captivate 8. There are multiple buttons on the right which take the user to a new page where they see a video. When you click each of the buttons with the mouse they work as intended; however, when you use tab/enter to navigate it drives you to completely random pages with no consistency.
Please watch the embedded video demonstrating the issue. Also, the link below will allow you to download my project file.

My Itunes won't open. When I click on it I get error message: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

The first error message is: itunes.exe-System Error: the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
The second error message says: itunes: itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I have reinstalled several times and the same thing keeps happening. Does anyone know what to do?

Ralph, both links you've posted point to the same place!
Ah, I see the second one is meant to lead to Tony's tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6571
That one applies for certain launch errors that can occur when iTunes has otherwise installed successfully. I've addressed the same issue in the first box of my tip.
What would be interesting to know is if Aswim does indeed have QTMovieWin.dll in their Program Files\iTunes folder, and if removing it allows iTunes to launch? It would seem that different error messages may be thrown up by different versions of the file on different versions of the OS. Perhaps many more people have been doing a complete rebuild than needed to.
