I am hoping someone can help with this. I have Captivate 2019 and I am able to create simulations, PPT, etc. recordings, but when click to Create a Video demo, my system crashes. I’ve restarted my PC a few times, but nothing clears it. Any other ideas on what can be causing this? Thanks.

Well,
I was just interested to know if most people in this thread still have problems with video demo.
What I have done to make it work is to change the graphics card. I normally use a Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000. Now I tried with a 1070 GTX, and everything works as it should.

That is interesting. Due to pandemic (very negative result for budget) I have not yet replaced my old systems and haven’t any RTX graphics card yet (which I planned). Captivate never really used the power of the graphics cards as do Illustrator and Photoshop now. Sometimes frustrating because Illustrator doesn’t support my graphics cards, PS does.
I would love to see you report this problem, and it has found a priority location in my Captivate memory.
Hi All, This seems like a very old thread and a bit of a hail Mary here, but I’m at a loss of where to go and what to do. I have read thru this thread and have tried all previously listed solutions, including uninstall and reinstall Captivate. I’m running Captivate 2019 version 11.5.0.476 as admin with no webcam attached and when I ask captivate to capture a video demo it thinks about it for second, then crashes. It seems there an update available, but it crashes there when attempting to update as well. It reaches about 75% before failing. Has there been a solution to this issue that I’m not seeing posted here?
Can you please update your version because you missed at least two patches. The most recent version for Windows is 11.5.5.553. If that update fails, it looks like something is conflicting with Captivate. Do you use a docking station or multiple monitors? If yes try to disconnect and keep one primary monitor to test. Capturing always has to be done on the primary monitor anyway.
Are you sure everything is on your system, nothing on a networked or external drive: application and the two paths under Preferences, General Settings? You do run Captivate with ‘Run as Administrator’, which is not the same as having Administrator rights on your system.
It is difficult to find the cause for a problem you cannot reproduce. Using the same version on Windows I still can record a Video Demo. It is possible without using a webcam. I have mentioned most possible causes: conflict with fonts, with webcam applications, with not recording on a primary monitor or even just by using a multi-monitor setup, not running with ‘Run as Administrator’, using a networked drive or roaming profile for CP projects.

#Without the Video Demo feature, Adobe Captivate (subscription) is useless to us.
#Do we have an update on how to resolve this issue yet?
From what I lheard from other users (do not have the problem myself) there seems to be a conflict with another application which uses the same dll file. It is not something happening to everyone, which makes it not probable that a ‘patch’ will be released.Can you please log a bug report, maybe there will be a reaction?
