Assets Menu won't open in Captivate 2017

My company has an Adobe Cloud account for each of us. In Cap 9, clicking Assets brings me to the eLearning Brothers assets to download. In Cap 2017, clicking the Assets button does nothing.

I verified I am signed in and tried restarting Cap 2017, but the button still does nothing. Is this a bug?

Are you using Captivate 2017 or Captivate 2019?

Please provide the point version of Captivate from Help>About Adobe Captivate .

Same version as OP , so 2017, but I got tech support to fix it, eventually

I called Customer Support and the Technician actually had to remote into my computer to uninstall and reinstall some files due to an error that 2017 Captivate has. I'm on the phone with him now so I can't tell you how the outcome is just yet, but it sounds like the Technicians are aware of the problem and can help solve it but you will need to call the Customer Service line. I called the 1-800-833-6687 number.

I am having a very similar problem. When I click on the Assets button in Captivate, nothing happens. The files are in the right place:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets

And I've tried running as an administrator, but it doesn't seem to matter what I do I cannot access the assets in Captivate in 2017 at all.

Very frustrating. I've never had these kinds of problems with previous versions.

I have installed the elearning assets a number of times ( from http://www.adobe.com/go/Cp2017_win_assets_installer  ), used Adobe_eLearning_Asset.exe , used both steps to install.  am using Captivate 10.0.192. Still nothing appears when the My Assets button is selected. Projects and themes do appear. Using the Media - Characters approach results are the same, nothing. How can I communicate directly with Adobe support about this?

Another new problem..... trying to make 2017 work broke Captivate 9. I can no longer use Media, Characters to insert the assets I'd downloaded. This screen is now blank.

Any solutions, folks? I'm ready to delete 2017 entirely.

OK, new problem! I AM now able to open the Assets menu. But the Characters and Media tabs are blank. Only the Projects and Themes tab show any content.

Characters are inserted with Media, Characters, not with Assets.

Do you have eLearning Assets installed? They should be in Public documents (Windows) under Adobe. Beware: you'll need administrator rights. Be also sure to run Captivate as Administrator if you are on Windows.

They're installed. Checking to see if I have Admin rights on the office PC.
