Adobe Captivate Question: Should I Upgrade From Version 3 to 4?
I am using Captivate version 3. I only create short, simple demonstrations of our software (there is no interactivity and few bells and whistles). Given how I use the tool, is there any compelling reason for me to upgrade to version 4?
Answer:
If I were an Adobe sales guy, I would say, "Yes, upgrade... you simply have to do it." However, if you are only creating basic demonstrations with Captivate, no... there is no compelling reason to upgrade unless it is in your budget. Having said that, there is much to love about version 4 and I would encourage an upgrade at some point.

Adobe Captivate Question: Why Isn't Captivate Working?
For the past few weeks, Captivate has been unable to record my lessons. I can pull screen shots, but when I press End to finish recording, Captivate closes! I'm using Captivate 4 on Windows XP with 2GB RAM and 180 GB hard drive.

Answer:
Are you saving the project to your local hard drive or a network drive?
Reply:
That was it! I was inadvertently saving the project to a Flash drive instead of my hard drive. When I targeted my hard drive, everything worked. On a side note, I didn't know it was a bad idea to save Captivate projects to drives other than my local disk. I know it now! Thanks for your help.
