Robohelp 7 freezes when trying to insert an image

Not sure how this happened, but now I can't insert images
into my RoboHelp 7 project. Now when I attempt to go to Insert >
Image and then click the folder to browse for an image to insert,
Robohelp freezes until I hit the escape button. This is surely a
bug. I'm on Windows XP.
As a workaround, I have to drag the images into the project
folder manually and then select them from the list or type their
names in the field.

It sounds like the Insert Image dialog box has somehow fallen off the edge of your screen (Esc is closing the dialog box, returning focus to the main RoboHelp window). Try this:
1. Press Alt, Spacebar, M
2. Press any arrow key.
3. Waggle the mouse madly until the dialog box appears on your screen.
4. Click to drop the screen where you want it.

  • RoboHelp 8 Freezes When Trying to Use Any Open Dialog

    The title pretty well says it all. RoboHelp freezes when I try to use Open... from the Starter screen or File>Open or any other control that accesses the open dialog (i.e., the open/explore button on the Content Settings tab in the FrameMaker Document Settings dialog). I have to end the process in the Task Manager and restart RoboHelp. (Fortunately, the Recent Projects links work – except for Open..., of course.)
    I discovered this when I had to restore links to moved FrameMaker documents. My installation is TCS2 running on Windows 7 32-bit; all updates to all TCS2 components and Windows 7 have been installed.
    I tried an in-place reinstall of RoboHelp, but that didn't make any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi John and welcome to the RH community.
    I'd check that you have both of the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 updates installed. Also ensure your RH source files are not located on a network drive. Bare in mind that whilst some users manage to run RH under Windows 7, others have reported problems. You should also note that Windows 7 is not an officially supported platform for RH usage.

  • Itunes freezes when trying to insert IPOD

    Hello all,
    We are trying to restore a click shell IPOD (+ HP). When Itunes is running and the IPOD is inserted in the base attached via USB to the computer (Dell D620), Itunes freezes thus preventing the restoration. I have tried to deinstall Itunes and reinstall but no luck. Any ideas?
    Jordan

    Since no one has replied to my requests, I will reply to myself.
    It turns out that the IPOD may have had really bad stiction.
    I got it restored using the origninal HP+IPOD CD installer. But then when trying to get all 485 songs downloaded in Itunes it got to about 147 and hung. So, I "carefully" tapped the sides of the IPOD actually harder than many times before. I then did a soft reset on the IPOD and started to download the 485 songs again from Itunes. This time it worked with no problems. Now, the question is whether it will hold up this time or start "sticking" again.

  • Robohelp 7 Freezes When Trying to Import Anything

    When I try to import anything into RoboHelp 7, it freezes. I
    go to File > Import and select any option. The result is that
    the entire application freezes until I click Escape.
    The only thing I've been trying to import is Captivate
    movies. The obvious workaround is to initiate movies from within
    RoboHelp, which I've been doing. Still, I would like it if I could
    import things ...
    I'm on XP and haven't done anything usual.

    I found out what the problem was. I configured dual monitor
    display for my laptop (so I could drag items between my laptop
    monitor and a desktop monitor). In dual monitor mode, the Import
    dialog box appears on the second monitor (because at some point, I
    imagine I dragged it there).
    When I switched back to single monitor mode, RoboHelp still
    thought I was in dual monitor mode and it put the dialog box on the
    other (blank or nonexistent) screen. Hence when I tried to import
    something, it seemed to freeze because it wouldn't let me push any
    other buttons until I made a selection on the dialog box I couldn't
    access.
    Here's the fix: Set up dual monitor mode again with two
    monitors. In RoboHelp, go to File > Import to prompt the dialog
    box. Drag the dialog back onto the same monitor as the application.
    Now switch back to single monitor mode and go to File > Import
    again. The application should remember to put the dialog box in the
    correct place, and it no longer freezes.

  • RoboHelp/RoboPDF freezes when trying to generate PDF printed documentation

    Hi,
    I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2 build 801 with Win2k and Word
    2000. Whenever I try to generate printed documentation in PDF
    format RoboHelp freezes and doesn't respond until I kill the
    program. I also tried first generating the printed documentation in
    MS Word .doc format and then tried to generate the PDF from within
    Word. RoboPDF kicks in this time and freezes along with MS Word.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    It works on anything we throw at it. You could try the
    supplied sample projects.
    Have you tried creating a document directly in Word and
    creating a PDF from that?
    Where is you normal template stored? Locally?
    Take a look at Snippet 33 on my site. You should be getting
    an error message if that is the problem but it might be worth
    checking the path anyway.

  • Mail freezes when trying to insert large contact group

    I am trying to send an email blast to a large number of clients (roughly 1,200), but every time I try to input the name of the group Mail freezes and nothing happens. I have gotten so far as the name of the group appearing and being able to click send, but it always freezes and never send the mail. Is my contact group too large? That is the only thing I can think of, I am using the newest model 15 inch mbp with 16gb RAM so I have a hard time believing its the computer itself.

    Found the resolution to this, my gmail was limiting how many contacts I send an individual email out to... nothing to do with Mail really.

  • Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph

    NOTE:  This IS a duplicate post from the Breakpoint.  Text slightly changed.  The post in Breakpoint can be deleted.  All comments should be placed in this thread.
    I resolved the "Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph", but would like to share to find out if others have seen this and to determine whether this is a bug, or if it's time to redo my PC, or buy a new one..  
    I have an existing graphs (qt 6) which originally had 2 cursors.  This occurred while trying to add the third cursor. 
    Up until attempting to add the last cursor, the program worked great, and I had been running tests for a while.  However, I do recall seeing this problem when creating the original cursors, but not to this extent.  Plus I don't remember the original error message from that time.
    I needed to add one more cursor to the existing graphs.  As soon as I add a new cursor and set it's properties, I get a nasty error message and without warning LV8.2 simply closes itself (well, the only warning was the error message.  Tried it 3 times, same result.
    Here are the steps:
    Shut down the PC, went for a coffee, rebooted the PC.  Opened the LV project, opened the VI.  Immediately went to the graph properties to add the new cursor by doing the following steps: 
    Right click graph indicator icon on block diagram.
    Select Properties.
    Click on cursor tab.
    Click on Add
    Select Cursor 2 (3rd one, newly created)
    Change color
    Select cursor as a line
    Remove checkmark for "show cursor"
    Click OK
    I need to do this to 3 other graphs, same steps.  And as soon as I get to the step before clicking OK, I get the error message. 
    I managed to get an additional one done, by immediately saving after each step (yep going in & out of the properties).  But I've had this problem before when creating the first two cursors.
    Is it a bug?  Anyone else seen this?  Using LV8.2.  And the message is right about LOOSING ALL unsaved work!!!! 
    Here are more observations:
    Tried creating a new one on the second graph.  As soon as I clicked on the color, it crashed!
    See the error explanation below.  It is really clear, now anyone can solve it    LOL!!...  According to the error log, there's a bad image out there

    I observed the title bar after making changes to the properties.  I noticed that 3 out of 4 times, while changing the properties of the graphs to include the cursor, and saving after each & every step, that there were no stars appearing on the title bar to indicate "unsaved changes".  Saving was also much slower than usual.  I suspect, the program never got to placing the star before saving occurred.  However, I am noting everything.
    After creating the cursors, saving was and is normal, and the program runs well..   I have run tests without problems.
    Does anyone have a clue at what causes this?   Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks,
    RayR

    Hi Donovan,
    I can't remember seeing this elsewhere.  When I get a chance, I'll create a new (blank) vi with new graphs and will repeat the steps. 
    I will let you know if I see this in the new vi.
    Thanks!

  • Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

    My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

    I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
    I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • Can't find some albums when trying to insert photos into other programs

    I am having trouble finding albums (and thus pictures) when trying to insert photos into a Word document or upload to mySpace/ facebook etc.
    After choosing 'insert<picture<from file<pictures<iPhoto Library' , I have the option of looking into the year-month-date or by album. Since I have a better memory of the 50+ albums I have created rather than their dates, I choose "Albums". This list only contains about half of my albums (with folder icons) and it appears outdated...ie one of the albums no longer exists in iPhoto and has been changed to a folders with several albums in it.
    I'm wondering why this is happening or how i can update the album list. I realize i could use the year-month-day thing but that is too frustrating.

    Hi chantreya,
    iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
    If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
    There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
    Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
    If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
    For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
    You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
    This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
    In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
    Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
    Do this for each album.
    Close iPhoto.
    Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
    In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
    Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
    Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
    Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
    I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
    One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".

  • "The selected cells are read-only" error on Custom Field when trying to insert in Datasheet mode

    I have a custom field that works completely fine. Yesterday our QA team found out that when trying to insert in Datasheet format, the error "The selected cells are read-only" was thrown. Any ideas? I tried passing the following property to my fldtypes_field.xml file:

  • IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone
