I too am having problems with getting answers to
compatibility issues with Vista and RealTek soundcards. I contacted
Adobe technical support and waited for a full week only to have
them respond with a brief blurb that said it wasnt a technical
problem and that I should contact customer service. I tried several
times and after getting put on "terminal hold" for the umpteenth
time, I finally gave up. I love Captivate, and though Camtasia is
similar, it comes nowhere near the quality and versatility of
Captivate. I personally am working on designing online classes, via
a Federal grant, and my XP equipped died 5 days before my Spring
deadline. I had no choice but to quickly get another computer, and
Vista was my only alternative for operating systems. The stressful
situation was compounded by waiting for an answer from Adobe only
to receive an "its not our problem" response. Fortunately, I was
able to borrow a friend's laptop with XP, and complete my courses
in time to meet my deadline. However, I still have another 4
courses to complete during this next school year. I realize that I
am just one little fish in a big ocean, but since I am a pilot user
for Captivate at my college (they WERE considering buying a a user
license to cover the entire college), you would think that Adobe
would be a little more compassionate when dealing with their users
than to basically say "its not our problem" in technical support. I
find it hard to believe that Adobe doesnt have at least some
recommendation for consumers who have been loyal Adobe users for
years.
