I'm looking to possibly move to Windows 7 to do some 'testing'  - any one done this yet?  Any issues with Captivate 4 that you have run across?

Captivate 4 works on Windows 7 . BTW , I see Win 7 as a flavor of vista with some security levels customizable. i guess you can go ahead and install it. if you face issues please post here or get in touch with captivate team through wish-list.

Hi there

Are you talking about how Captivate itself behaves? Or how the output from Captivate behaves?

Cheers... Rick

Either..... right now - more how Captivate itself behaves.  How the output peforms shouldn't be as big of an issue since it's more dependent on the flash player version, I would think....  Maybe I'm wrong??

As doctor Nihar said, Captivate 4 works on Windows 7. I would encourage you to try it out on windows 7.

Incase you find some something not working you could report it to us.

Since Windows 7 comes in both 32 and 64 bit versions, does Captivate 4 work in both?

well, it is expected to work on 32 bit. Since Captivate is not certified for 64 bit so you might get some unexpected results.

I have found that when trying to do screen captures in Windows 7, Captivate CRASHES!!!!!

This is really becoming a problem since I have a class do by the end of the week and now cannot use Captivate!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark

No chance of downgrading to Vista or XP I suppose?

What kind of a class are you doing?

Have you reported your issue to Adobe using the Bug Report?

Cheers... Rick

Hello, I'm running CP4 on Windows 7,  build 7100, 32-bit since June without any problems. I hope you did not forget to install the update (end of May 09)? If you are using 64-bit version, this could perhaps help.

Well couple of people have reported issues with Win 7 . In our internal testing we are yet to reproduce the problem reported. We are using the early RTM bits. Looks like there are other folks in this same thread for who Captivate 4 on Windows 7 works w/o issues. Win 7 build used is more of a suspect here than Captivate . See if you can get hold of the build # used by folks who are successful.

I will have to check into that. I am using their latest version from the MSDN site. So my guess is it's the retail version I'm using.

I am having the same issue. I cannot end a simulation that I am recording...meaning, I cannot get that Save window described by the above user. And

I just upgraded to a new machine here at work, running Windows 7 64-bit...

I was hoping for a better answer than I am finding on this page!

Hi there

I really wish I had some magick wand to wave. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a solution so far. I recently facilitated a class where one of the participants was using Windows 7 64 bit. And he had no issues whatsoever. Go figure.

Please do take a moment and report to Adobe as a bug so they can be more aware of the scope of affected users.

Cheers... Rick

You know, I went into the Preferences and changed my key for ending a simulation to F12 (and changed the other F12 to something else) and NOW I can get the save screen because it reads that I stopped the recording when I press F12. So I fixed this with a key change...I wonder if that would work for other folks?

Hi all,

Just as a point of reference:

I am running Windws 7 64-bit and Captivate is working. I did read the entries here and some blog entries before starting so I knew there might be issues I would face.

I installed the trial version.

I set it to Run as Administrator, and in compatibility mode for Win XP sp3. (b/c Administrator mode is advised, and using compatibility mode just in case)

Ran it, and immeditately checked for updates.

Installed the latest patch (b/c this was advised when Vista users experienced some problems).

Ran it.

I was able to record new projects and audio, and read in Captivate 3 projects. Also exported to swf and avi. So far, all seems fine.

Can you set Captivate to Run as Adminstrator once so you don't have to do it each

time you open it?

Thanks.

Can I ask another question?  I downloaded the file for Text to Speech.  After it downloaded I clicked on the exe and that seemed to run, but I don't see the files anywhere.  Am I missing something?

Thanks.
