Unable to close presentation

Maybe I'm unusually dense but I can't seem to find a way to
get the standalone file to close. I have used PowerPoint and guess
I expect this to be as easy!
I'm working with a trial version of Captivate 2.
I have added a "end this presentation" button to the last
screen and have linked it (using the Properties) to our internal
website. (There doesn't seem to be "end" option in that list.)
I published this as a standalone exe file. When we run the
presentation and click that button, the presentation minimizes on
the taskbar but does not close. If attempting to close from the
taskbar using a right click, it just opens again. Using the Escape
key doesn't work either. The only way to get it to stop running is
using a Ctrl-Alt-Delete and ending it from the task list.
Is this a known problem or am I missing something
entirely?

Hi czimmelrn and welcome to our community
Normally the ESC key works to exit the EXE. Not sure what may
be up with that.
However, I do see a fair amount of folks wanting to use a
button to exit the movie. I see all sorts of convoluted solutions
involving JavaScript and whatnot. But here's an easy solution that
should work. If you click Project > Preferences... > Start
and End tab, you can choose the option of "Close project" as the
project end action. From there, you simply insert a Button Object
that points to the last slide. The last slide is reached, the movie
ends and the project closes.
Cheers... Rick

  • Unable to close windows

    I didn't find any other threads on this problem, so evidently it's just my system?
    A few days ago I installed the latest Tiger security patch (2007-009), Java 6 update and Quicktime 7.3.1 update.
    Since then I am unable to close ANY window in Safari. Safari seems to work fine otherwise. I can browse and open tabs and windows, and websites can create new windows, but then I can not close ANY of the windows. I can close tabs but not windows. When I click the Close button, nothing happens, and when I use ⌘+W, nothing happens.
    So, after a while of surfin' the 'net, I end up with a bunch of open windows of various sizes. When I re-open Safari, I get one new window with the Home tab.
    I just recently began using Safari again, because it's 3x faster than Firefox on my iBook, but now I've got this problem.
    Any ideas?
    I will likely be calling Apple Support today, although I hate to, as I've found them to be very unknowledgeable and unhelpful in the past.

    Hi,
    Go to these 2 locations to see if you have any 3rd party extensions and move anything present in them onto your Desktop to deactivate them:
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    Restart Safari to pick up the change. If it works now, you can try moving the items back one by one until you find the culprit.
    If that doesn't help, or you don't have those folders, one quick test you can do to help narrow down things is to try Safari in another user account. This will help us to know whether your problem is local to your account or system wide. If you don't have another account you can use System Preferences -> Accounts -> \[+\] to create a test one (and \[-\] to remove it if needed)

  • Unable to close the posting periods in MM

    Hello
    while using MMPV  the system says that the date not current calender year. If I check OMSY the  open year is 2002.I need to know that how you close the open periods of previous years.I am supposed to close all the periods one by one but how to close them for the year 2002.
    I tried to initialise the periods as well but the system asks me to check OSS notes 487381 before initialisation.
    Please guide me as I've read all the threads related to this error but still unable to close the periods.
    Thanks & Regards
    Ashish

    Hi,
    You need to close the periods one by one from 2002. There is no other way.
    Go to OMSY check what is the current period,
    e.g it is 02/2002.
    then got MMPV,
    Enter 03 and year as 2002 then execute, repeate till 12/2002,
    then again start MMPV from 01/2003 to 12/2003. you have to perform this till current period of 2008.
    Thanks

  • Unable to close iPad2 attachments

    I am brand new to the apple community, so please bear with me for the newbee question.
    After configuring my brand new iPad2 yesterday to sync with my mail provider, I opened an email attachment and I am unable to close it.
    When I press and hold the top of the attachment a keyboard dropdown appears, but there is nothing else on the page.
    When I go back to the main menu and re-open email, the attachment is still there and I can't access the mailbox.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    When you tap on the attachment-while it is open-do you not see a blue "Done" button in the upper left corner? If so, tap it to close the attachment.
    If the mail app is frozen, you can force quit it and restart the iPad.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or just quit the mail app this way and restart.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Unable to Close project

    We are unable to close the project because it is created for plant xxxx that was never used and is wrong anyhow.
    When attempting to close the Project xxxxx we get message stating that Purchase orders are open.
    By listing all PO's applicable to the project (SAP trans ME2J) we get a list of approx  25 purchase orders, some of which have the lines deleted, some of which are open. Our problem is that the Purchase Orders are all set up for Plant "xxxx".  and xxxx  does not exist as a plant!! SAP will not allow us to dealt these PO's without changing the plant reference but we cannot because these parts are not set up in other plants!

    Hi,
    How did you save the Project with the Plant which doesnot exist ??
    By the time your Project was created the Plant must have been operational in SAP & MM team might have removed it afterwards (if the system allowed)
    is this right??
    If so, then you can cross check with MM how to proceed to close / delete the PO line items.
    regards

  • Unable to close Safari windows

    I am unable to close any windows in Safari.
    I am able to expand and minimize them.
    I had been unable to open Safari which I resolved by removing the Safari preferences file and have tried repeating this as well as resetting Safari and running general maintenance proceedures such as permissions, scripts, etc. with no success.
    Is it possible to reinstall just Safari ( mine is version 2.03) or can this only be done through a system update?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Unable to Close the book in Firefox

    Hi,
    I am Unable to Close the book in Firefox when WebHelp Pro
    application is opened through the robo server 7. When i open the
    help application all the books will be opened and they cannot be
    closed by clicking on them. But if i open the same file i.e.,
    projectname.htm directly inside the program
    file/adobe/roboserver..... it opens fine with all the books closed
    and can be opened on click.
    Adding to this each contextual call to the WebHelp pro is
    opening in a new window in Firefox 2.0.0.12. But all these works
    fine with ie7. Can anybody help me out in this regard?
    Thanks,
    Arun

    This sounds pretty similar to an issue that I am
    experiencing.
    Basically in IE5 on Windows 2000, IE6 and IE7 on Windows XP,
    the table of contents appear as required - all books are not
    expanded, and once the user clicks on a book, the book is expanded.
    However in IE7 in Windows Vista and in Firefox on all Windows
    platforms, the table of contents appears with all books expanded,
    and when clicking on a book, the book will not collapse.
    However if the same page is directly navigated to (e.g.
    http://servername.com/dir1/index.htm)
    the table of contents appears correctly (all books collapsed and
    users able to expand and collapse a book by clicking on it).
