Your Computer Does Not Have Sufficient Memory Resources to Compress SWF File

I'm sure I'm not the first person to hit this error. And under most circumstances, I would shrug it off and work on cutting the size of the presentation I'm working on down. However, this particular instance of the error is baffling.
To begin, I imported an 87MB PowerPoint Presentation into Captivate 5.5, with recorded audio attached to all of the slides. Captivate is able to pull it in just fine, and I am even able to work on it and manipulate the 18 slides that are produced to my whim. However, when I go to publish the file (which is an integral part of getting the content onto the web), I am struck with this error. The file does have some custom animations that are timed, but through the whole thing there are only 13 of those. So I decided to do some math to try and figure out exactly how much of the 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 16GB Page File, and 512MB of dedicated video memory Captivate was using, to see if it could possibly be running out of memory. Assuming that each slide and each animation gets its own, full-depth, 32-bit bitmap image in the process, that brings the size of the rendered slides up to around 81.7MB in memory. Tacking on the 89MB of the original file again, I'm left with a total RAM usage of 170.7MB that it theoretically should be taking. Much less than the 4GB than the resources available.
And even then, I look at task manager to see, and Captivate is holding steady at 283,076KB of memory during the publication process. And then when I go to look at how much of the RAM is being used, I see only 2.38GB of my 4GB is actually being addressed. That's 1.62 gigabytes that Captivate is ignoring that it could (and should) be pulling from on my 64-bit, quad-core computer. Adobe, telling me I don't have enough RAM when there is1.5GB sitting untouched and unallocated is bordering on absurdity.
I imagine there's a limit somewhere inside Captivate that's telling it not to go past that 283,067 number: every other Adobe program I've used has had some way to let you control how much RAM it can use. But look as I may, I cannot find any way to tell Captivate to use more resources and take priority over other programs. Is there some way to do this, or do I have to break this small presentation down to a handful of even smaller presentations and daisy-chain them?
Thank you.

Try turning off compression settings in Project Preferences:
If the project then renders out, try turning them on again one at a time until you find the one that is fouling things up.  It's most likely to be the Advanced Project Compression.

  • Your computer does not have sufficient memory resource to publish your file

    I just downloaded CP5 trial version to see what's new.  Is it just me or is it really buggy?
    I received 'Adobe Captivate has stoped working' half a dozen times but managed to convert a small CP4 project (35 slides not a lot of animation or voice over) and tried to preview it.  I got the message 'your computer does not have sufficient memory resource to publish your file'.  I'm working on a new laptop with 4 GB of ram and I still get that message even when I kill everything else and only have Captivate running.  I'm working with Windows 7 on 64-bit OS.  Has anyone else run into this?  How much memory does CP5 draw?
    Needless to say I won't be upgrading any time soon...
    Best,

    Okay it happened again.
    Here's the error:
    And here is the CPU:
    I would be happy to upload the project file if you provide me instructions about where to put it.  However, I opened another project to test if it was just that project and I received the same error.

  • Your computer does not have sufficient memory

    This problem is already tracked in a couple of other threads but I wanted to start a new one where I have already implemented most of the recommended fixes but am still having a problem. When attempting to publish various projects, and with no particular consistency, I'll receive this error:
    Your computer does not have sufficient memory resources to publish your file.
    I always launch Cp5 as an Administrator
    I always clear the cache
    All projects have the following Preferences un-checked: Advanced Project Compression and Compress SWF File
    I continue to reboot and re-launch until publishing inexplicably works.
    Once a project is suceesfully published, attempting to do so again usually results in the same error.
    After receiving the error, and attempting to publish again, Cp5 typically crashes
    I am running Windows 7 with a 2.66GHz processor and 4 GB of RAM on a 32-bit system
    Please advise on any fixes, solutions, work-arounds, or animal sacrifices that will help me out.
    Thanks!

    Rather than blame Captivate, this sounds to me like there's something in your project that might be causing instability.
    I was having the same problem on one of my projects many months ago when I was working on the Cp5 beta program.  It turned out to be due to having square braces [ ] in the Slide Notes area.  (This was confirmed by Adobe techs after I sent them the project file.)  Apparently there are some characters that should not be used in the Slide Notes area, especially if you use them in Closed Captioning.  It was the fact that I had accidentally included a Notes line with square braces as a CC line that caused the error.  So I removed all square braces, replaced them with pipe characters, and haven't seen the issue since.
    Some other questions in case the above doesn't work for you:
    Is this project perchance one that started life in a previous version of Captivate and you upgraded to Cp5, or was it created from scratch in Cp5?
    Does it do this in just this one project or on any Captivate 5 project you create from scratch?
    How big is the project?
    Does it contain any Flash animations that might contain AS2 code or that were published as AS2 (even though they only contain stop() actions)?
    Have you tried copying groups of files from this problematic project over to a fresh new blank project to see if you can replicate the issue there.  As soon as you see the issue reappear, try deleting out the last group of slides to see if that removes the issue again.  By a process of elimination you may be able to find the actual slide/s that are causing the issue, and then keep deleting items off the slides until you are able to find the actual object.  I've found corrupt objects this way on a few rare occasions that Cp projects became unstable.
    Hope this helps,

  • "Your computer does not have the hardware to run this software"

    When I try to install Final Cut Studio, I receive the error "your computer does not have the hardware to run this software." I just purchased a brand new 13in macbook pro with 4gb of ram about 2 weeks ago. This computer is more then capable of running this software so what's the problem? How do I fix it? I just recently boot camped windows 7 on this thing just in case that matters somehow. Feedback? Comments? appreciate it...

    final cut studio 5 I believe
    There is no Final Cut Studio 5 (yet). The current version is Final Cut Studio 3, which includes Final Cut Pro 7. Final Cut Pro 5 is NOT compatible with IntelMacs. Version 5.1 was the first version to be compatible with IntelMacs.

  • Performance Update 1.0 "Your computer does not have eligible hardware" ?

    i tried to do the apple Performance Update 1.0 update but when i double clicked the pkg file it says "This computer does not need this update." "Your computer does not have eligible hardware." why is it saying this and what should i do? just so you guys know i have a intell macbook pro 15" and ive been have overheating problems that disconnect me from the internet when it overheats and then i have to restart the computer to fix, and also my computer is real slow with alot of hanging beachballs since i upgraded to snow leopard. im hoping this update will solve these problems if i can figure out how to download it.
    another thing i should point out is this update did not come up in the software update. i went to the Performance Update 1.0 page myself to download
    Message was edited by: johnpalley

    Yeah but what about the rest of us!
    I have two Macbook Pros (Early 2008) with upgraded hard drives that didn't have this clicking (hard drive head parking) issue in Leopard but now do in Snow Leopard. Apple knows this is an issue, makes an update pretty much for every other model but this! I've called Apple Care and no one seams to have heard of this issue even though its all over the internet and they released an update to specifically address this issue!!! Come on Apple, if you going to attempt to address an issue do it for all the computers effected! What my $3000 spent a year and a half ago is no good and what... now you consider my computer obsolete?
    *** - I say that since I've contacted Apple about this for the past 2 months, they come out with an update to fix the issue, I'm all excited only to find out my computer doesn't quality & my computer will now continue to pause for 2-4 seconds 100 times a day!!! Apple get it together... Oh and its the same hard drive that is BTO from apple but since I installed it (which your able per Apple) the hard drive doesn't have the custom apple drivers?

  • EA2700 - Your Computer does not have Networking Capability?!

    I'm kind of a novice when it comes to networking and computer.  I receently purchased a EA2700 for the house.  I've managed to plug everything in the proper locations, got everything going and internet working on my PC with a wired connection.  Everything was going smoothly until i put the setup CD in to setup the router.  I ran setup and at the loading bar (0%) an error came up saying that "Your Computer Does Not Have Networking Capability".  I'm using Nvidia nForce that came with the motherboard (to my knowledge at least).  I can go on websites and also get to 192.168.1.1 BUT I just can't seem to get pass that networking capability error.  I've also tried to update the Nvidia nForce driver but doing that caused my internet to not work at all.  So I just rolled back to the previous driver which could get me online at least.
    If anyone has any idea how I can fix this, please let me know cause I'm out of ideas and not quite sure what I need to do at this point.  Thank you very much in advance.

  • I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

    i'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have enough space to backup my iPad and continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad.  an option seemed to be backing up on iCloud, but i think you have to have iOS 5.0 to install iCloud.
    how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

    If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
    Make backups on an external disk.
    After freeing up enough space, try again.

  • Connecting to Time Capsule via ethernet but my computer does not have an IP address

    I'm connected to internet w/Airport TC.
    I want to connect via ethernet for fast and stable backup. When I connect the ethernet cable what I see is "The cable for Ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an IP address". I don't want to mess up with my connection. What should I do?

    Thanks for your response Bob, I found a way to resolve my issue.
    I'm connecting to internet via wireless modem. TC is connected to that wireless modem via wired ethernet connection and functions as a router - I guess - so our Apple devices connect to the network.
    I had disabled WiFi earlier, since I wanted to connect to TC via ethernet. I realized I somehow needed to have the connection re-enabled WiFi but change the connection order, so ethernet is at the top of the list.
    It might have been some other things I did, like trying to imitate config samples I found on the net by typing 255.255.255.0 and 192.something.something.0...etc.
    Not sure exactly what made it work, but eventually, I believe I managed to connect and transfer many gigs of data over to TC with ethernet but it still took soooooo long.
    Thanks,

  • "The Finder does not have enough memory available"

    "The Finder does not have enough memory available"
    Situation: G4 (AGP Graphics), OS 9.0 with tons of memory.
    Problem: Only with any browser viz Explorer, Communicator, iCab or Opera (all versions). Starts off fine. I have broadband. Then steadily goes slower and slower till virtually stops even with just the one browser and one window and no other programs in use. Try to do anything else and above message appears. The problem seems to involves the operating system and the way it interacts with the code of certain sites eg Ebay. It has nothing to do with PRAM, or allocation of memory to the browser or deleting various Preferences. The deletion of Finder, Memory etc Preferences, quitting, restarting all deal with the symptoms and are not a permanent cure. The primary symptom is a massive loss of available memory, not even enough to run a single browser and one window! Any simple solutions? I realise I can upgrade to OS 9.2. Will this work? Apart from this browser problem I am happy with my present set so is there a simpler solution apart from upgrading?

    Thankyou to all for the welcome and your responses to my query.
    I have 640mb of RAM. The problem is intermitent and is determined to a great extent by the sites which I visit. Yahoo for example is great - no problems. In another window visiting eg Ebay will eventually (variable) cause a slowdown. I have switched Virtual Memory on and off, changed cache, program allocations of memory, regularly used Norton Utilies to inspect, repair, defrag etc and looked all over the place for advice. Things run great for a while but it is only a question of time , months or even days, before the problem re-appears. I was surprised to find so little about it on the Web. Perhaps everyone else has upgraded or is on OS X! If I could have done something without upgrading I may have gone for that option as everything else is running like a dream and I want to keep it that way! I use programs such as Paperport (sadly not made for OS X) which I find a marvellous scanning and paperwork management program. To get it to work with OS 9.0 I had to determine with Cassidy & Green's marvellous extension conflict identifier Conflict Catcher that the Control Strip needed disabling. If I upgrade, I could, for Paperport et al, upset the Apple cart! I have also read about a program called Reaper which was used to deal, I believe, with Finder memory problems with OS 7 and OS 8. It is still available on at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/3783 Apart from this I know nothing more at present about it.
    However, the following was one item which I found of great interest which goes along with your advice of upgrading.
    From http://www.icab.de/faq.html#q36
    "Mac OS 8/9: Why does iCab 3.0 complain that it is running out of memory all the time?
    This is not a bug of iCab, it's a bug of the "classic" MacOS 8.5/8.6 (and maybe OS 9.0 as well). The problem occurs when a web page has web forms with text input fields. The Unicode text input fields (MLTE) of these old MacOS releases do still have some serious bugs. One of theses bugs causes the MacOS to reserve almost all available memory for these text edit fields so there's no memory left for iCab. Apple has fixed this bug in MacOS 9.2.x (maybe in 9.1 as well), so the best solution for this problem would be to upgrade the MacOS. If this is not possible, you can disable the Unicode text input fields in the preferences dialog of iCab in the panel "Operation > Browser, Tabs". Switch off the option "Use Unicode TextEdit" to configure iCab so that it will use the "ancient" text edit fields, which do work OK, but which do not support Unicode".
    Here is someone with a similar problem back in 2000:

    This is ridiculous! I have hardly touched this machine today. Does RAM get eaten up while the computer is sitting there idle (and sleeping every now and then after I've checked email or looked at a couple newsgroup posts)?
    Yes, it can, under certain circumstances.
    Open your TCP/IP control panel. Click the Options button. (If there is no Options button, select Edit->User Mode, and click "Advanced.") Is "Load Only When Needed" turned on? If it is, you may severly fragment the memory in your computer every time you start a program that uses the Internet. Let's say, for example, you launch Netscape. Netscape tries to access the Internet. This causes TCP/IP to load, on top of Netscape. Now, when you quit Netscape, the memory it was using may not get freed up. Launch Outlook. It loads TCP/IP. Now, when you quit Outlook, you may not get its memory back either". Try turning off Load Only When Needed in the TCP/IP Options, see if that solves
    the problem. Hope that helps!"
    I find that whatever I do one way or another the slowdown will eventually reappear. A bit like weeding gardens and washing dishes! Well unless there is a way of dealing with OS 9.0 memory behaviour with browsers it looks like an upgrade will have to do!

  • Ipod touch cannot not be sync as itunes does not have enough memory

      I got a new ipod touch 32gb yesterday 12.sept 2011.
    i set it up to my computer and put my apps and music on to it, its has 25.2gb left on it and my computer has 80gb memory left put when i try to put pictures on to the ipod 32gb it shows and error message saying
    THIS IPOD CANNOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY,
    whats going on.?
    Also all my apps from my 8gb ipod touch are all updated and put on the 32gb ipod touch  but when i go to updates on the 32gb ipod touch it shows all my apps have updates to download
    but when i click on the same are showing the £0.69 next to them, if i click on them do i have to buy them again? WHEN I ALREADY HAVE PAID FOR THEM
    my ipod touch 8gb has 4gb memory left and that too cannot sync pictures or any more music as the same error message shows
    THIS IPOD CANNOT NOT BE SYNC AS ITUNES DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY
    IS THIS I TUNES MEMORY OR SOMETHING

    it seem's to be working not but don't know how long
    keep your fingers crossed ...
    my laptop has an 2tb of ram
    you mean 2GB, right? You might consider to get yourself more RAM to run Lion smoothly. Looking at my machine I see that the kernel, Safari, iTunes and Mail together take up 2GB, without doing anything interesting at all.

  • Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter??

    I treated my self to a new Macbook Pro with the AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB graphics cards..
    Now that I've got everything up and running just dandy I Bootcamped Windows 7 (64 bit) on it to see how it would handle some gaming, I tried installing the latest graphics drivers from AMD and am presented with this error message :
    "Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter."
    Is this normal?? Has Apple restricted the installations of drivers on the MBP or have I got a problem?

    Hi folks!  I was scouring the web for some answers and got pulled to this thread.  I've got a mid-2011 iMac 27", i7 with the 2gb HD 6970M (bootcamping Win7, 64-bit) and I also get that same error as OrphanGymnast when attempting to play the Battlefield 3 Beta.  Whenever I try to join a server it says my Catalyst version is out of date and that I need to upgrade, in turn it only references the generic AMD url.  However, the game still manages to play, but I'm not sure if I'm getting the proper performance I should be getting with the latest driver.  Anyway I tried AMD's auto detector and nothing...same message shown above in the OP.  Now I find myself here.
    I'm not that hardcore about pc gaming so messing around with drivers and such is pretty new to me.  From what I gather the reason for getting, the "Your Computer does not contain a proper graphics adapter." is because mobile/laptop GPU's have to rely on their manufacturers (Apple, in our case) to roll out their specific driver updates and not AMD.  I used the following links, but encountered a few problems.
    Driver Install Instructions for Win7:  http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GraphicsDriverInstallationInstruction forMicrosoftWindows7.aspx
    ATI Catalyst Mobility Display Driver:  http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
    When I tried to uninstall the current ATi catalyst it was not showing up in "Programs and Features".  I figured I could then just run the CCC and saw there was an uninstall option through there.  CCC ran the uninstall, but the progress bar got hung up about 99% of the way through and after about a half hour in that state, I decided to End Task.  By now, my display is all out of wack since it deleted the original driver.  I rebooted and proceeded to install the 11.9 catalyst and that too got hung up about halfway through for a while...had to End Task again.  Rebooted and display was still jacked up so I just threw back in my Bootcamp Support Disc and repaired drivers...now all things back to normal (display driver v8.812). 
    So now that I'm back at square one, would anyone that successfully updated their mobile GPU care to tell me where I messed up? I would greatly appreciate it.  I apologize for the long read, but I wanted to be as clear as possible.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Standard or Pro would be licensed through your serial number, the download link and downloaded file would be the same for both of them.
    Pro or Standard would be determined after you put in your serial number.

    As Nikhil said, just copy the files to a stick and move them to your new machine. As an alternative, you might consider this:
