Captivate Frozen On Load Into Browser

My project freezes when loading into the browser. It essentially shows the spinning wheel forever.

I do NOT have any LMS reporting (or any kind of reporting).

It has 2 regular slides and a quiz.

What I have tried with NO results:

1) Delete captivate pref folder

2) Clear cache

3) Delete recently installed fonts

In my dev tools I can see the console of the browser outputing (see attached shot)

What could this be?

Thank you.

Just and update, I found my problem. It was in the Naming Conventions of the Quiz Pool Manager. In the first Module I had a quiz pool set up and named it Module_2_1 and everything worked. In the next module I had named the Pool Module_2-2. Apparently Java Script interprets the "-" as a Minus sign and not a "dash". I renamed that Pool to Module_2_2 then republished and everything worked again. I can preview in my Browser and it launches properly from within the LMS.

FWIW - My Captivate 9 project just started doing the same thing on January 20th. I have 6 individual modules that make up the course and the first two (one with random quiz slides) work just fine in Browser view and our LMS. But since 1/20/16, I cannot preview in Browser mode or on the LMS with the remaining modules when publishing as HTML5. If I publish as both SWF and HTML5, the issue goes away and everything works fine (both locally and on the LMS).

I did notice a Flash Player update pop-up message on 1/20/16 that I chose not to run.

After much debugging I've narrowed it down to inserting a Random Question Slide.

Any thoughts?

If you are running this locally on your computer, I think the issue is probably Flash Global Security blocking the loading.

I'm using HTML 5 only export. And it all works, so long as I don't insert a random question slide.

Where is the setting you mention? I don't have flash installed in the browser.
