Errror message: file already exists - overwrite or save as?
When I attempt to open the .cp file that I had previously
worked on today I now get the following series of messages:
1. C:\Documents and Settings/vsutherl/My Documents\My Captivate Projects\game\game2.cp already exists.
Do you want to overwrite the file or save as a new file?
When I select "Overwrite" or a File Save As, I get the following message in response:
Adobe Captivate could not open "game2.cp" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
This began happening after I attempted to click the game2.exe file to review the project in its final (stand alone) form but clicked the .cp file in error, which was already open.
Now all four of the projects (which were clones of each other with simple text changes for each project) receive the same error message. I can no longer open any of the source (.cp) files to make additional changes. This represents *weeks* of work and I cannot start from scratch to rebuild all four projects - again. I've already had numerous problems with these projects (per prior posts here).
Other projects (totally separate and apart from these 4) open properly. However when game2.cpgot corrupted it caused all of the other gameX.cp files to also receive the same error message; resulting in not just one file being corrupted but all 4 even though the problem that was originally encountered was when attempting to (re-)open game3.cp (while already open).
How can this file corruption be overcome? I am using Windows 2000 and Captivate 3.
Help and thanks!
