Xcelsius powerpoint initializing issue

Hello,
I have just upgraded to xceslius 2008 present from 4.5.  When I ran a .xlf file and exported it to powerpoint; as I have done in the past with 4.5 the preview function does not work until I run powerpoint in 'show mode', in the past the preview worked and did not have to initialize.  I have tried the SP1 upgrade with no resolution.  Any ideas?

I have a similar issue re: the .PPT initialization step with XCelsius Engage 2008. Like Pete, I upgraded from 4.5 to Engage. When exported from XCelsius to Powerpoint, the initialization process begins but it never ends, hence, yield no results. However, when press F5 or go to "showmode", it shows up.... Well, this is good only for real-time because when I saved it onto a PowerPoint file, it spits out a blank screen. No matter what I do in PowerPoint, the flash application would not appear. Can someone help me trouble shoot this? Thx in advance.

    Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro.
    CS3 worked just fine but had many issues with Bridge CS3. So frustrating that the $$ to upgrade to CS4 seem worth it. Mostly works OK with the following exceptions:
    1. Sometimes the file menu selections are non-selectable grey including fundamental functions like Open and Exit not even clicking on the x will allow PS to close! I found a workaround, I can select a tool that is not currently selected (like the crop or brush) and now the menu items appear.
    2. The Arrange Documents drop down menu is blank except for the lower text portion. All icons are missing. Roll over text popup shows what is supposed to be on the menu but no icons.
    3. I have setup Bridge CS4 to auto start at logon. Works OK but sometimes for whatever reason stays busy after I close. Task Manager shows Bridge using up to 25% of CPU time and the program is not even open!
    5. I purchased a couple Canon EOS 50Ds as backup cameras for our business. Worked last week with CS3 and Bridge with Raw 4.6 upgrade. Does not work with RAW 5.0 in CS4bummer!

    I had the same problem with blank/missing "Arrange Documents" icons. And I use NIK and OnOne plugins (CS4 & Vista). These plugins are all supposed to be compatible with CS4 and I use them ALOT - so I refused to remove them. Today I also started having a problem with an error re: needing to install a printer before I could select print functions.
    I found the answer to both problems!! While researching the error message I found information from Adobe support stating that you should:
    1. Quit Photoshop
    2. Vista: Rename the Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file to Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old
    Windows XP path: Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp
    3. Start Photoshop - it will create a new preferences file.
    My print error message is gone AND I have Arrange Documents icons!!!

  • Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Installation)

    AA: Area Affected
    PD: Problem Description
    WA: WorkAround
    AA: Installing QAAWS from BOE Client
    PD: The Query As A Web Service (QAAWS) application has been combined with the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client application. It was previously a separate application.
    This means that to use BOE XI 3 QAAWS with Xcelsius 2008, you must download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject Client from the Business Objects Support site and install it on your client machine.
    WA: To install QAAWS download the BOE XI 3 BusinessObjects Client. You may or may not have access to this download based on the type of licensing agreement you have with Business Objects. Note that the BOE XI 3 BusinessObject client is about 600MB in size.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 when a higher version of the Adobe Flash Player exists
    PD: The Xcelsius 2008 installer will install a version of the Adobe Flash Player. If you have previously installed a higher version of the Flash player, you will get a warning message from the Xcelsius 2008 installer.
    WA: You can ignore this warning message. Your newer version of the Flash Player will not be changed.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius 2008 with other older BOE products.
    PD: After installing Xcelsius 2008 on a machine, some other older BOE products on the same machine stop working (eg. WebI Report Server, BOE XIR2)
    WA: Many BOE products share the same installer, as a result installing Xcelsius 2008 on the same machine other older products changes the default install folder to the newer BOE folder. For example with BOE XIR2 it changes the default BOE install directory to change to BOE XI 3 folder.
    C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\" is changed to
    C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 12\"
    The workaround is to manually edit the registry and change the key folder name back to its previous name.
    Use regedit to view the folder name in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Business Objects/Enterprise/InstallRoot/Path".
    Double-click on path and change the Value data. In most cases the folder name is C:\program files\business objects\businessobjects enterprise 11.5\
    Note: please back up your registry before making any changes.
    AA: Uninstalling Live Office XI 3 from a machine with Xcelsius 2008
    PD: If you uninstall Live Office XI3 on a machine with Xcelsius 2008 also installed, the Xcelsius Keycode Expiry dialog box (License manager) pops up asking for the Xcelsius Keycode.
    WA: The Xcelsius keycode must be entered again to re-enable Xcelsius.
    AA: Installing Xcelsius with Office XP
    PD: Currently installing Xcelsius 2008 with Office XP is not supported due to a bug. Use Office 2003 or Office 2007 instead. If Office XP must be used see the workaround.
    WA: As a workaround to the issue of Xcelsius 2008 not installing with Office XP, users can manually add a registry key to enable installation. Please make a backup copy of the registry before making any changes.
    1. Go to Start > Run. Start the registry editor by entering 'regedit'.
    2. Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to \Software\Microsoft\Office\
    3. Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
    4. Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
    5. Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called InstallRoot
    You should now have the folder structure listed below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
    6. From the InstallRoot folder create a string value called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value
    7. Select the newly created Path value and select Edit > Modify.
    8. Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
    9. Click OK.
    10. Exit the registry editor.
    11. Reboot your machine.
    You should now be able to install Xcelsius 2008.
    AA: Creating a Web Part for SharePoint Portal Server 2007
    PD: The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint Portal Server 2007.
    Note: Sharepoint Portal 2003 is supported.
    WA: You can manually install the web part to use with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007. Microsoft does not provide a mechanism to build a Web Part installer for SharePoint 2007. For instruction on manual installation see the Xcelsius Support website. (see follow up post below)

    The current Xcelsius Web Part installer Setup.exe does not work with SharePoint 2007 (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0). Here is the workaround to install Web Part in SharePoint 2007 manually.
    The easiest way to install a web part in SharePoint is to add the web part assemblies to Global Assembly Cache. To do so:
    1. Download and unzip the attached Xwp.zip. Drag Xwp.dll and ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll into C:\WINDOWS\assembly folder on the machine running SharePoint 2007.
    2. Open web.config file located in the root of a Windows SharePoint Service 3.0 Web Application directory with Notepad. Normally, the physical location of the default WSS 3.0 Web Application root is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80.
    [Click here for more information on how to Find the Web Application Root|http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms474356.aspx].
    3. Insert the following <SafeControl> tag between <SafeControls> and </SafeControls>.
    <SafeControl Assembly="Xwp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7e58495f1a9ea430"
    Namespace="CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
    4. In SharePoint Portal Site Home page, from Site Actions drop-down menu, go to Site Settings->Modify All Site Settings. Click Web Parts under Galleries to open Web Part Gallery Page. Click New to open New Web Parts page. Check CrystalXcelsius.SharePoint.WebParts.Container checkbox and click Populate Gallery. Once it is populated, you will be able to add Container web part to your web part page in SharePoint 2007.

  • Xcelsius 4.5 issue using QAAWS and Tomcat

    Hello,
    We have this issue where the dashboards do not display any data when opened. They are set to refresh on open.
    Only after the Tomcat webserver is restarted, then do they display data. But this keeps happenning often and intermitently.
    We do not get any error message, just a blank dashbaord. We are using QAAWS for connection.
    Any ideas why and resolution?
    Thanks

    Can this bug be addressed for 4.5?  Unfortunately, the changes I talked about above (to the TRUNC/TEXT order of operations) got around some calculation errors but not others, as more testing has shown.  For example,
    Scenario #1
    1.1. Multiply 3.00 * 3.30 = 9.900
    1.2. Convert 9.900 to text
    1.3. Truncate 9.900 to 9.90 <--- SUCCESS: Excel sees 9.90, Xcelsius sees 9.90
    Scenario #2
    2.1. Multiply 3.00 * 1.70 = 5.100
    2.2. Convert 5.100 to text
    2.3. Truncate 5.100 to 5.10 <--- ERROR: Excel sees 5.10, Xcelsius sees 5.09
    I'm out of ideas at the moment and am beginning to worry.

  • Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Application)

    AA: Area Affected
    PD: Problem Description
    WA: WorkAround
    AA: How to recover from an Xcelsius crash
    PD: If Xcelsius crashes during use, it may leave an orphan Excel process running in the Windows Task Manager. This is most often seen when you can't restart Xcelsius or Excel.
    WA: You must go to the task manager and kill the Excel process before restarting Xcelsius, otherwise an Error message will occur. Press the CTRL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously. Click on Task Manager. Click Process tab. Find and highlight any Excel.exe process. Click End Process. Exit Task Manager. Restart Xcelsius.
    AA: Importing an Xcelsius 2008 SWF as a Canvas Image
    PD: The Xcelsius 2008 canvas property sheet allows you import various file formats as background images, including SWF files. However Xcelsius 2008 SWF files cannot be imported; non-Xcelsius SWF files and CX4.5 SWF files can be imported.
    WA: Do not import Xcelsius 2008 SWF files as a background image into the canvas or any image component or slideshow. This may cause a crash.
    AA: Object browser Delete Key does not work
    PD: Object browser: "Del" shortcut key is not working to delete the component thru object browser - This is by design - to prevent deletion of grouped components by mistake.
    WA: Use Edit Delete on menu or right-click Del to delete components from the Object Browser.
    AA: Starting Xcelsius causes Server Busy Error
    PD: Starting Xcelsius may occasionally cause a server is busy error.
    This is usually caused by a currently running Excel process. When Xcelsius starts it attempts to launch an instance of Excel or reuse a current instance. If that instance is busy, a warning message is displayed.
    WA: Please click 'retry' until the error disappears and Xcelsius starts normally.
    AA: Excel Interaction with Compatibility Mode turned ON
    PD: When you turn Xcelsius compatibility mode ON, you can only use Excel from within Xcelsius 2008. It will block other spreadsheets that are open or that you try to open using this instance of Excel.
    WA: Compatibility mode will be turned OFF by default. If you turn it on and then you need to use Excel outside of Xcelsius 2008, turn off compatibility mode. Or launch another instance of Excel from Start - Programs menu.
    If you attempt to open an external Excel spreadsheet (by double-clicking a file or opening an attachment in Outlook) all interaction with the spreadsheet is disabled.
    If you launch a new instance of Excel and then try to open your spreadsheet or XLS attachment in Outlook it will open fine.
    Compatibility Mode is found under the File - Preferences - Excel Options menu. For further information read the information in the Release Notes supplied with the Xcelsius 2008 installer documentation.
    AA: Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 XLF files won't open by clicking
    PD: Trying to open an Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 XLF by clicking on the filename results in an Xcelsius 2008 error message: "Crystal Xcelsius is unable to load this file. This file may be corrupt or have features that cannot be supported by this version of Cyrstal Xcelsius."
    WA: There is a known issue with Xcelsius 2008 opening Crystal Xcelsius 4.5 models by clicking on the filename. The workaround is to open the models in Xcelsius 2008 from the File-Open menu instead.

    1) arrow keys don't re-position selected elements on the stage
    2) fonts are ~2 units smaller after an import from 4.5 into 2008.

  • Powerpoint 2013 - Issues opening presentations from earlier versions

    When opening a presentation created in a previous version of powerpoint I get a message saying:
    "Powerpoint Found a problem with Content in <document> Powerpoint can attempt to repaire the presentation"
    If you click repair you then get a message saying the file couldn't be replaired.
    Now this is documented in other threads and the solution is just to open the file properties when it's on your local system and then click "Unblock" at the bottom of the properties box.
    This is very annoying especially if you receive multiple presentations daily. Is there any way you can set PP2013 to just open legacy documents? 

    I guess these pptx files are created by PowerPoint 2010. If so, try to install the following update in the machine with PowerPoint 2010 to avoid the issue happen again.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598240/en-us
    Another solution is set component security settings back to the defaults:
    1. Open Control Panel.
    2. Open Administrative Tools.
    3. Open Component Services and expand the tree under Console Root to
    Computers --> My Computer.
    4. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
    5. Select the Default Properties tab and set the following values:

  • Powerpoint animation issue

    I'm losing animation on numbers that I have coming in at bookmarked places in a slide. I return to a home page and return to the slide no problem but if I return to homepage then a different slide, then home page and the initial slide...the animated numbers
    won't work. I believe (I guess) the page hasn't reloaded...but all the fixes I have seen for this problem I can't get to work with 2013. 1) they say add a blank slide before the problem slide and set the transition time to zero (well it won't let me set the
    transition time to zero...lowest it goes is 1 second...maybe thats why it won't fix the problem 2) install a macro to fix the problem...I have no idea how to actually do that? I've been trying to remedy this for weeks now...so if anyone can please please help...please
    do!

  • Powerpoint Display Issue

    I am having an issue with BB 8830 World Edition and not displaying every powerpoint file.  Seems that files of 150Mb or smaller display just fine and I can not find anything that states this is an issue anywhere else.  It does not matter if you open for the email or download it to the BB.  Software versions are correct according to the Sys Admin manual and there are no limit restrictions...does or has any else started to see this?
    Message Edited by mgingrich on 05-22-2008 12:10 PM

    This is fine if what you want are two different screen views.  (laptop with presenter's notes and audience image with full screen slide), however, for those who want a duplicate image, it is a nuisance.  Not only does it affect what happens in
    PowerPoint, but it also changes the default settings for the computer from duplicate to extended display.  I know there is an option in PowerPoint to change to duplicate display, but that doesn't fix the problem of PowerPoint changing the default for
    the computer.
    Please advise!

  • Xcelsius 2008 - Known Issues (Security)

    AA: Area Affected
    PD: Problem Description
    WA: Work Around
    AA: Access across network domains using a crossdomain.xml file for the Flash Player
    PD: For security reasons, an Adobe flash player is not allowed to access data that resides outside the exact web domain from which the SWF originated.
    Various error messages may be displayed but the most common is "Unable to Load URL: http://boe-server:8080/dswsbobje/services/session"
    WA: A crossdomain policy file is a simple XML file that gives the Flash Player permission to access data from a given domain without displaying a security dialog. When placed on a root folder of a server, it tells the Flash Player to allow direct access to data on that server, without prompting the user to grant access.
    For example, for use between different BOE servers, the crossdomain.xml should go in the associated Tomcat folders. Location: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT.
    Either download or create a crossdomain.xlm file to allow the flash player used by Xcelsius 2008 access across domains and place in the root folder of all necessary servers.
    Read the details on the Adobe website. http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14213&sliceId=2
    AA: Viewing content stored on a local drive
    PD: Locally stored SWF files that contain components that call content (e.g. images, XML data, a child SWF) stored on the same local drive will receive an error, unless the local drive has been listed as a trusted location in the Flash Player security settings.
    This may also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
    WA: Set Flash Player Security Settings to allow the local drive to be trusted. Also see the Xcelsius 2008 Installer Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
    This will also occur if you snapshot or export to a local format such as PPT, HTML or Word and try to run the SWF file.
    To enable trust:
    1.)Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
    2.)Select "Always Allow"
    3.)In the "Always trust files in these locations:" drop down, select "Add location..."
    4.)Browse for the location in which your SWF file is located.
    AA: Viewing Hosted Parent SWF with Local Child content in XI 3 Infoview
    PD: Export to BOE XI 3 a swf (parent) that has local content (e.g. a child swf, or image) stored on a local PC. View the parent SWF in Infoview and it can't load the child swf.
    WA: This is an Adobe Security restriction. The Flash 9 Player does not allow a SWF hosted on a URL (i.e. BOE InfoView or a website) to load in a file that is stored on a local file system. There is no workaround for this.
    Please see the following security document:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf
    Also see the Release Note on Adobe Flash Player Security.
    AA: Running a SWF (flash) file in a browser shows empty page
    PD: Opening an Xcelsius SWF in a web browser may show a blank page.<span>  </span>There may also be a warning message shown.
    WA: If you get a pop-up warning, please follow the directions given. For example in IE: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls...Click here for options..."

  • Captivate 6 Created from PowerPoint - flicker issue

    I am using Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240, and my employer (State of Idaho) is working out the details with Adobe of paying for subscription service to the eLearning Suite.
    However, right now I am finishing a project that was imported from PowerPoint 2010, and I have the flicker happening at the beginnings of any slides with animation.
    I understand that a patch is available for subscription customers that would fix this issue and bring my version to Captivate 6.1.0.319.
    Is there any way that I can get a fix to this problem in advance? 
    Having the users click “next” on each slide is not a good solution in this course. I really want the users to have the TOC available (which they will not if I have to import my audio to PPT and save it as a .wmv). And I will be hard-pressed to recreate the project in Captivate before the go-live date.
    I have to say that the only reason this was created in PowerPoint to begin with is that we anticipated delivering it live via webinar and a last-minute decision has me converting it to eLearning.

  • Xcelsius 2008 msi issue

    I see no way out of this quandary.  Please provide guidance.  I did have SP1 on my version of Xcelsius 2008.  But when I tried to update to SP3 I kept getting the dreaded error 1706 "no source could be found for product Xcelsius 2008..."  So I uninstalled the software.  It will reinstall fine off of the CD upon which I stored the original download and keycode.  But I cannot apply any updates without the 1706 error.
    I now have Xcelsius 2008 one version below where I was yesterday! The 2008 install I have is an EXE that was downloaded and does not create or keep a msi.   SP3 is also an EXE.  The fix packs are zipped but do not have msi files.  Perhaps SP1 was zipped but it is not longer available for download.
    I have read other posts on this issue and none of them seem to work.  I have uninstalled the 2008 version and tried to install SP3 and still get the same error. 
    The error keeps pointing me to a temp directory where I once perhaps had an installation package.  It is no longer there. 
    Who would have thought that updating would be so kludgy. 
    Please help.
    Bill

    I did look at the KB article.  I cannot find anything in my registry with MediaPackagePath or MediaPackage that relates to Xcelsius.  There is no msi anywhere on my machine that relates to Xcelsius. 
    So this is weird.  I uninstalled the original version of 2008 again.  Then just for fun I downloaded the TRAIL version of the program.  It has the same problem.  The prompt wants me to look in the temp file where I must have installed SP1 a few years ago for Xcelsius2008.msi.  The trial version has XcelsiusPresent.msi and if I point to that it still barfs and says that it is not a proper installation file for the program.
    So any ideas as to how to kill that pointer to the old temp directory?  There must be something somewhere that is sticking around even after I uninstall...
    Thanks.

  • IMovie 5, Quicktime 7.5.5 and PowerPoint 2004 issues

    Hi,
    I have a movie I've created in iMovie HD (currently MPEG-4 format) and wish to insert it into a PowerPoint presentation, created in PowerPoint 2004. I have QuickTime 7.5.5 and OSX 10.4.11.
    If I export the iMovie movie as a QuickTime MPEG4 file (.mov) it will play fine in quicktime but when I import it into PowerPoint (Insert --> Movie --> From file) it displays a message on the slide saying "QuickTime and an MPEG-4 video decoder are required to display this picture", although the movie plays fine. Similarly, if I open it in QuickTime it'll play fine but if I copy a still frame from QuickTime and paste it into Photoshop I get the same message as PowerPoint.
    How can I overcome this issue? I've tried exporting as AVI for PowerPoint, but the quality is beyond unacceptable, despite the movie playing fine.
    Thanks for the help!

Once check out this link , this may help you.
