Program shuts down frequently

I have been cooking right along in Captivate, and making some really cool things.  Unfortunatly, I seem to have recently developed a glitch I cannot get rid of.  I attempt to copy a slide, import a slide, copy and paste significant portions of a slide to a new slide, etc., and Captivate gives me the "sorry for the inconvenience, but the program must shut down" window.
I have tried other files than what I was working in.  I have re-booted.  I have uninstalled and re-installed a new instance of the program.  I am at a loss.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks!

Hi Anthony,
It would seem that your Captivate file might have become corrupted. In this first instance (if you are using Adobe Captivate 4 or later), I would look for the .bak file which Adobe Captivate automatically creates. Make a copy this file and remove the .bak file suffix. Next, try opening the backup file and see if that makes any difference.
If not then instead of trying to import your slides, I would suggest you carry out the following steps:
Open your original Adobe Captivate file
Load another instance of Adobe Captivate
Create a new blank project at the same size as your original and save it
Switch back to your original file, select all the slides and then copy al of these
Switch to your new file and paste them.
If all goes well you should then be able to save the new project file. However, if Adobe Captivate crashes this will tell you that there is a corrupted Slide / Object in your original project file. If that is the case then you should do the following:
Open your original and new created Adobe Captivate files; the new file should still consist of one blank slide.
Switch to the original file and start copying a small number of slides (maybe 10)
Switch to the newly file and paste these in.
Save the newly created file
Now you should keep copying and pasting the slides from the original file. At some point you might find that one of the slides won't paste or that it might appear as a blank slide. Now you can either try to re-create that slide or switch back to the original file and try and work out which Slide in the last group of slides you copied where the corruption might of occured.
Let us know how you get on
Best regards,
Mark

  • Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.

    Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!

    Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
    Model: HP p7-1247c
    Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
    Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
    System Type: 64-bit
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is:  "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
    The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
    If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you!

    Please confirm if you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer and that you are running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges or Run As Administrator. If you are and still have the problem, then please read on:
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11?
    What are the properties of what you have put on the Expert view Timeline of the project...video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, aspect ratio, file extension, duration....?
    What have you or the project set as the project preset for this project? Does it match the properties of your source media? If you are not sure of the project settings, please tell us what it says for Edit Menu/Project Settings/General Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.
    How do you have your Scratch Disks set up (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks.) Are they directed to a hard drive save location with enough free space to accept them? Is your computer optimized..defragmented, no pile ups of preview files and conformed audio and video.
    What were your export settings...please confirm:
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    MPEG
    PAL DVD Standard
    If that is correct, did you change any of the settings under the Advanced Button of the preset?
    Let us start here and then decide our troubleshooting strategy.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    In addition to what @visruth  has written, you can also try to download Speccy - http://www.piriform.com/speccy
    This is free software for system information and it can show/measure the temperature of some of the computer components.
    In my opinion your problem looks like overheating issue. When the computer's fan is not working, it overheats (especially if the CPU/HDD are overloaded with some tasks) and stops working (powers down unexpectedly with no messages) to prevent damage. If this is the case, it would be good to monitor the temperature.
    If this is the case, authorized HP Support Center should be able to help you fix this. If you are not sure where such is located, you can contact the nearest HP contact -> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.​html

  • How can I Recover an iMovie project after the program shuts down unexpectedly?

    I was working on an iMovie when the program shut down unexpectedly.  I had worked on this project many times before and it always showed up in my project library.  After the shutdown, however, I tried to open up the project and it is no longer in the project library.  I can find it in the finder but when I click on it, it will open iMovie but the project is not listed.  It has to be in there somewhere!  How can I recover it?  Please hlep!

    There are numerous reports here on the forum about this issue (I've been bitten by it too). It's becoming an epidemic.
    Here's one thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21157327#21157327
    The recent update to iMovie '11 (to version 9.0.9) may have fixed this, but it's impracticable to test, given the random nature of the problem.
    The best solution is to always have Time Machine running when editing in iMovie. Also, with larger projects, it's a good idea to duplicate the project from time to time. To duplicate, while in Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), select File > Duplicate Project. Project files are relatively small, as they mainly reference the associated Event (or Events), as well as keeping track of your edits, titles, transitions, music and so forth.

  • I keep getting "firefox.exe application error" and program shuts down

    When I attempt to boot up Firefox I get the following message "firefox.exe application error" and the program shuts down. "The application 0x10008d30 referenced memory at 0x10008d30. The memory could not be "read"

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • HELP Program shuts down when try to capture video

    Every time I click on capture the program shuts down. I've used this program many times with no problem but now it won't even reconize my camera. And when I try to capture it shuts down completely. Anyone know what to do?

    There is nothing wrong with FCE 2 as a program - it should not be necessary to upgrade it.
    Have you tried plugging and unplugging the FireWire cable from both the computer and the camera.
    Also see if iMovie will recognise the camera. if it won't you will know the problem is probably not the fault of FCE.
    It is also possible that FCE may be corrupted in which case you should re-install it after having first uninstalled it by deleting ALL the files listed in this article:-

    Is the crash/shutdown for this one specific project or does it occur in new projects as well?
    On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9 and are you running Premiere Elements as the 9.0.1 Update?
    In cases such as these, the first factor to rule in or out are the preferences/setting file. Here you want to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
    The directions to its location will vary with the operating system. So the operating system information is important to post. Some of the many factors
    that we need to evaluate
    a. does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    b. are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse.
    c. does your computer need a clean up/clear out - is your computer optimized
    Your answers to the questions above will help us to customize and plan appropriate troubleshooting strategy. So, let us start with the above and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • IPad programs shut down on their own

    I was doing a Keynote presentation the other day, and during the presentation at several points, the program shut down and took me back to the icon screen. Does anyone know how to fix that so it doesn't happen?  My audience was friendly and kind, but may not always be so.
    thanks in advance.

    Is it only Keynote?
    Try a reset:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Iphone 4 / 4s  shuts down frequently from itself

    My girl-friend has an iphone 4 and since a few weeks it shuts down frequently spontaneous.
    Replaced the battery and totally renewed the IOS. No succes. While doing this, my iphone 4 also shut down spontaneous!
    Also replaced the battery and replaced the IOS. No succes. 2 Friends of mine have exactly the same problems with their iphone 4S.
    Is there a wifi-virus in Nijmegen, The Netherlands???  Are there more people with this problem??
    If shut down, it can be started up again by doing a reset. Our iphones are not reliable anymore.....

    After I removed Facebook and FB messenger, my iphone problems vanished. No spontaneous shutdowns anymore.
    My girl-friend first removed FB messenger with no succes. After removing Facebook, she also is free of problems.

    Hi there naushdxb,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
