Question

Using MS Paint to edit background image in Captivate - not available in windows 11

Hello Community,

The option to edit background images in a simulation with mspaint.exe was available in windows 10. However, in Windows 11, it does not take mspaint.exe. 
Steps: Right-click on slide > Find background > Right-click on background > Edit with > Open (here mspaint.exe used to work, not it doesn't seem to).

Please advise if there an option to resolve it. Thank you.

    Which version of Captivate are you using? Only 11.8.1 is compatible with Win 11.

    Thanks for the response. I am using version 11.8.0.586, I did update to 11.8.2 (CPC), however, the edit with paint option still does not work.

    I'm sorry, but at this moment my older systems have not yet been updated to Win11, cannot double-check your claim about Edit with... not being possible. Does Win11 still have Paint?  I do use Photoshop to edit backgrounds and other images, Paint is really too basic to me.
