What is the largest "manageable" size for a captivate project? (I think I've passed it)

Problem:
It used to take perhaps 5 minutes for the Captivate software to open and the project to actually load. Now, Captivate loads (menu screen) but the project does not open - it just sits there. When I close the software it asks if I want to save changes to my project, as if it had opened.
Background:
The captivate project that is roughly 260MB. This is after having copied and pasted all the slides to a new project to reduce the file size (several times) -- because of unexplainable ballooning of the file size. I am using a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.35 GHZ processor with 4GB or RAM.
Questions:
What is the largest manageable file size for a project?
Is there a limit to the number of slides a project can contain (i.e., 200)?
What can I do to get my project to actually open?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi there
Normally we advise that a Captivate project should fall into somewhere between 50-65 slides as a general upper limit. Occasionally reaching as high as 100 to *MAYBE* 120 slides. Depending on a number of factors.
Cheers... Rick

  • What is the default icon size for macbook pro 13 inch?

    I have the 13 inch macbook pro, its not the retina. What is the default icon size for it? I accidently changed it on the show view options.

    The default size is not related to the Mac Model, it's related to the OS X version. For Snow Leopard it's 48x48 pixels.
    For Lion and Mountain Lion it's 64x64.
    You can choose the size that is right for you. I typically use either 32x32 or 36x36. Some prefer larger some prefer smaller. It's up to you.
    I've always found the default sizes to be too big for my taste.

    What are the ideal system requirements for Adobe Captivate?* In order to ensure it runs at a good speed.

    I don't know about ideal, but I'm using an Intel Core2 Duo, 3.16ghz, 3.46gb ram, winXP Pro SP3.  This is an HP branded PC, it uses the onboard Q45 video.
    I rarely have any problems that I haven't caused myself (having too many applications open while I work).
    hope that helps.

  • What is the largest SSD Drive for my MacBook pro 8,2?

    What is the largest solid state drive I can install in my MacBook pro 15" (Version 8,2 - i7 2.3 GHz) with 8GB RAM I currently am running OS X 10.6.8 But I want to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 and perform a clean install with Mavericks and manually move my files off of my backup.
    The Samsung 1TB  MZ-7TE1TB0BW looks nice but I don't know if it works well with my older MacBook Pro, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
    Thanks

    1TB is as large as you'll get. Crucial also makes a nice one, and I can speak for Crucial working well with a machine that's 2 years older than yours.

  • What is the largest flash memory for newton mp2000?

    Hi,
    just wondering what the largets flash memory for the Newton is?
    I have come across some websites which state that you can have up more than 4Gb+. Would this be seen by my Newton MP2000?
    cheers
    Tibs

    Hello! This is KnowledgeNavigator from NewtonSales.com (newton sales website). The largest amount of memory on the Newton 2000 and 2100 is actually several gigabytes! with the assistance of a driver written by the owner of Kallysis.com you can use standard ATA cards with your Newton and I have seen these in 1gb, 2gb, 4gb sizes. In terms of memory that was designed for the Apple Newton 2000 and Apple Newton 2100 wihtout the need for special drivers, you are looking at Flash Cards. I have in stock the 16mb, 20mb, and 32mb Flash cards at my website. With any larger memory card purchase I preload wifi, bluetooth, ethernet drivers as well as games, utilities, and other very useful programs onto the card before shipping. My website is a one-stop-shop for a 100% support solution for the Apple Newton. I have been an avid user of the platform for over 7 years now. If you have any questions please contact me.

  • What is the max hdd size for a macbook 2.1 (late 2006)

    I have a Macbook 2.1 (late 2006). Its 80 MB HDD crashed.
    What maximum HDD capacity/size can my Macbook handle?

    Replace it with any notebook sized, 2.5", SATA I or II HDD. Presently, the largest that will fit is a 1.5 GB drive by Toshiba. You cannot install a drive that is over 9.5 mm high.
    Look for drives at OWC to get an idea of what's available and pricing. You can buy the drive you want anywhere reliable you want, so look for the best price available for the make and model you choose. Good brands are Hitachi, Seagate, Toshiba, and Samsung.

  • What is the maximum file size for CSV that Excel can open ? (Excel 2013 64bit)

    Hello,
    Before anyone jumps in, I am not talking about the maximum worksheet size of 1048576 rows by 16384 columns.
    I have  client whom has a 1.5 Gb CSV file, 1.9, 2.6, 5, 17 and 89 Gb file (Huge).
    If I open the 1.5 Gb, the file opens (After waiting 5 minutes) and then a warning pops up that only the first 1048576 rows have loaded. That is fair enough.
    If I try and open any of the others, Excel comes up to a blank worksheet. No errors. It just seems to ignore the file I tried to open. This happens from within Excel (File - open) or from double clicking the file in explorer.
    Excel goes to this blank page almost imeadiatly. It does not even try to open the file.
    If I try with Ms Access, I get a size warning and it refuses to load the file. (At least I get a warning)
    I would have expected Excel to load at least the first 1048576 rows  (If that is what there are in the file), and give an error.
    The computer is more than capable (Xeon processors, 16 Gb ram, SSD hard disks top of the line HP Z820 power workstation).
    With the 1.5 Gb file loaded to 1048576 rows, it uses 15% ram/pagefile. CPU's hit about 5%.
    I have confirmed it is Win 7 64bit, Excel 64bit. I am fairly confident we are over the file size but without an error message, I don't know what to tell my client whom is looking to me for answers.
    I have already discussed that the 89gb file in Excel is unreasonable and they are looking at a stat's package but I need an answer on these smaller files.
    Anyone got any ides ?

    Hi,
    The 1,048,576 rows & 16,384 columns is the
    workbook size limitation in Excel 2013. Thus, I recommend we try the Mr. Bernie's suggestions to import the large CSV file.
    1. Use VBA to read the file line by line and split/examine the import file in sections. If you have further question about the VBA, please post your question to the MSDN forum for Excel
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    2. Use Excel 2013 add-ins. Power Pivot and Power Query. For more detailed information, please see the below articles:

  • What is the maximum file size for Pages?

    Hi,
    What is the maximum number of pages and maximum file size that I can have for Pages document?
    Thank you.

    chessmagnet,
    As a practicality in a large document it pays to break it up into sections in different documents with the numbering carrying on from the last one.
    Assemble the final document at the end when you need to create a T.O.C. and any hyperlinks.
    Several users have reported being unable to save very large files and other problems.
    It is a good safety measure anyway and as Yvan says it will work faster.

  • [Blackberry 8100] What are the best pic sizes for the blackberry?

      Hi, I am the proud owner of a new blackberry 8100 and I have a few questions.
      When I upload an image of 600x450 pixels to the media card, They display well, but when using the Zoom feature, the image starts to get blurry.  Now with a 600x450pixel image, I think the size would be large enough to get a closer zoom without the blurriness effect, but i'm a new user so I'm not really sure if I need a larger pixel image, or if I'm over-estimating the blackberry's Zoom feature and thinking it's a Zoom feature like Adobe's Photoshop. So what's the best recommendation for image sizes to be uploaded to the blackberry?
    Also one more question regarding the desktop Manager. I have Version 4.6.0.12  and when trying to access the Media Manger, the "Start" button is faded out, so I cannot access it.  Why is this option not available when the blackberry is plugged in as a Mass Storage device?

    The 8100 screen is 240x260 pixels.  Zooming in on the pic doesn't ever do the pic justice.
    Are you sure that Media Manager is installed?  Some installs of Desktop Manager don't include Media Manager.  If it's indeed installed, does it work if you turn off mass storage mode?

  • What is the proper image size for ipad

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble with photos on my ipad.
    First let me ask, What is the best size and dpi to display images?
    When I put a white stroke around the images i uploaded the stroke does not show on the right side of the images. So I created a white border using the "canvas size" tool in photoshop and still no border on the right side.
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Richard

    If you sync your photos with iTunes it will optimize them. Just place your photos at the full resolution in your folder (on your computer) that you are syncing and iTunes will take care of the size. My photos are all around 4000x3000 and they get reduced to 2048 on the long side. This allows you to zoom into the photo on the iPad (double tab a photo). But again, iTunes does all that for you. Just use them at full resolution.
    If you want to save space you can resize your photos to 1024 on the long side. I recommend to crop your photos at a 4x3 ratio to match the iPad screen. The DPI setting are meaningless. DPI is an arbitrary definition and has no effect on how the iPad shows your files.
