What are the system requirements needed to run the application?
Answer:
Captivate will run on most computers running Windows XP. If you are using Vista, most things will work fine but there are documented issues here and there. If you are using Windows Vista 64, careful. Captivate is not Vista 64 bit certified. You can read the specific system requirements here.
With Captivate 3, is it possible to put a time limit on a simulation? We'd like to have someone start the simulation, but finish within a certain time limit or be taken to a "Mission Failed" slide.
Each question slide in your project can be assigned a time limit. However, if the project itself doesn't contain question slides, your LMS would have to control the time limits.
Is there a feature in Captivate that tracks a lesson as complete?
Answer:
If you're saying that you'd like to be able to track a customer's access to and completion of your published lessons, there is no feature within Captivate that will track multiple lessons. Tracking course completion is really the job of the LMS. Once you upload the content into the LMS (as a SCO and with eLearning quiz settings set up in Captivate), the LMS will track if your customer has taken and completed each lesson in a given course.
Regarding your Skills & Drills article about changing mouse pointers… to my knowledge, Illustrator and Photoshop can't save as CUR. Do you have a recommendation for a plug-in that would allow saving as CUR from either of these programs, or perhaps a workaround?
