    Hello. I'm experiencing the same issue - Captivate 2017 is not usable anymore because of this. There isn't any pattern in when it crashes. Sometimes the color manager works fine, the next minute it crashes. Nevertheless, it crashes several times a day! Why isn't this resolved already since the issue is not new? Is there a workaround?

    Have you tried clearing the Project Cache (Preferences  >  Clear Cache) or resetting Preferences?

    Hi Rod. Thanks for the tip. I cleared the project cache and the support told me to rename the Captivate Folder in the AppData Folder on my computer. This would reset the settings. Nevertheless, Captivate 2017 still crashes multiple times a day when I choose a color! Any orther ideas where this might come from? Your help is very much appreciated!

    There are a number of reasons that Captivate could be crashing when performing was are seemingly simple tasks. One solution is to make sure that you are running Captivate with administrator privileges.

    Here is a video I did on that a few years ago but it still applies to other versions of Captivate.
