Limited success

After several frustrating hours today (see yesterday's post about my microphone not working with Captivate 4 on my new computer), I recorded audio today on my laptop. And then was frustrated when the file wouldn't open on this computer. Several hours worth of Internet searching of help and support forums for both Windows Vista and Adobe Captivate, I discovered that the problem was that Captivate doesn't play nice with the 64 bit version of Windows. Which was (and is) extremely disheartening, seeing as how that's what my new computer is running.

However, I found a fix that at least gets me around *some* of the issues I've been having. Captivate will now at least acknowledge the project that I recorded the audio for today and actually play the sound files. It still won't let me edit them with Captivate but at least they're there and I can play them to set the timing for captions and graphics.

I really hope that the worst of these problems is over. All in all, it's been a very frustrating several weeks, with all the technology problems that have plagued this project.
