On the editing tab, even though I have notes and timeline selected in the View menu, they won't display. I think I turned them off once and now I can't get them back. Any suggestions?

Welcome to our community, Jaime

If you have tried all else, you may wish to try resetting the Captivate settings file.

Close Captivate
Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to the following folder location:

Captivate 1: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application Data\Macromedia\Captivate
Captivate 2: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Captivate 3: C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate

*NOTE: Replace ???? with your Windows user name. You also may need to first coax Windows into allowing you to see this location.

If you don't see this location, from Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options... and click the View tab. Then choose the option labeled Show hidden files and folders.

In this folder you should see a file named:

Captivate 1: captivate_v10.dat
Captivate 2: captivate_v20.dat
Captivate 3: captivate_v30.dat

Delete this file and restart Captivate.
When Captivate restarts and is unable to find the file, it normally rebuilds a clean, daisy fresh one.

Give that a go and you should be set.

Cheers... Rick
