Two questions- I can't seem to find in the manual. 1.Can captivate record the desktop? I can't figure out how to do it. And when I record a web application, my clicks which record going from screen to screen are getting dropped. I waited to make the time lapse longer hoping that would help but it doesn't. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I was trying to create a right-click on the desktop, make a shortcut and then stop. I couldn't get it to do that. Is it possible?

Hi there

On my old laptop I had no issues with that. But I recently moved to a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I find that things are somewhat hit and miss with Captivate. It works for the most part, but the only way I was able to record creating a shortcut on the desktop was by recording in Full Motion.

Is your operating system by chance 64 bit Windows 7?

hi

My OS is Vista 32bit. I'm trying to create screen capture from an inhouse app. It is swallowing up some of my shots so that it just shows the beginning and end but all the shots in the middle dissapear. It's very weird

Hi Deb

Generally speaking, Captivate can record whatever you see. While recording, display the desktop and it should take a picture. We do find that sometimes Captivate has an issue with certain applications or even certain web pages. But we also have ways to overcome it if we know what you are trying to do.
