Thats great – thanks for the update.

Thank you for the update.

Are there any updates on intended release? I was keen to buy AP as we are now using Vista based laptops.

Francis- This post still represents the latest info we’ve publicized about Vista & Office 2007. Our products don’t yet support Vista & Office 2007, but we’re working hard to get there.

When will there be a fix for Articulate and Windows Vista/Office 2007?

Hi Alan- I updated the top of this post on Friday. Here’s the latest: We have release candidates that support Vista / PowerPoint 2007 just about ready to go for Presenter, Quizmaker, and Engage. If you’d like to help us verify these releases before the official production releases are available, please send me an email, and you’ll receive information on how to participate in this testing. The official production releases will be available soon after this testing period.

Greetings,

I would be happy to be a tester of the new version of Articulate Presenter that supports Office 2007. I have been waiting for this release and I am immediately buying this product once it is ready for purchase.

Thank you,
Hugh Branstetter

I’ll email you the info, Hugh. Thanks for your interest!

Gabe,

I woulod be interested in being a beta tester for the vista version of the software…. we have your product on my desktop but my new laptop is vista. I would like to take it on the road an do my thing buy alas no vista version.

Greetings all, I have used the test release version to sucessfully create a first run through on the presentation. I have had a couple of snags but will wait further testing to determine if it was environment variables that may have been the conflict.
Seems great so far! Thanks Gabe.

I would be interested in testing as well

I am having steady crashes with the Synch Animation Timings function. Can someone in support help investigate?

We’d be happy to assist you, James. Could you please submit a support case and provide as much detail as possible? Or, if you’re using the beta releases as part of the Vista/Office 2007 testing, you can direct your details to the Vista/Office 2007 beta forum.

I just purchased Engage and installed it using Vista. It loads fine, have not used it much yet, but will do so later.

I then downloaded quiz maker and presenter. I installed them, but they don’t boot up. Is there a compatibility problem in Vista for these 2 applications at this time? If so, what is the target date for a compatible release. Or is it an issue only with the trial versions of these programs. Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Jose- As noted at the top of this entry, our software that supports Vista is currently in public beta. You can register to participate here.

The trial versions of our products do not yet support Vista/Office 2007.

Hi. I am really keen to use your product for the trail period (and beyond) but I have run into problems on my Vista Machine which runs Office 2007 Ultimate. It there a patch that will get me going now? It appears that I have run into errors that will prevent me from accesing my trial. Your thoughts?

Thanks,

Scott

I see the previous post now and it appears that I need a username to access the beta test. Don’t have one and don’t know where to get one (or if I have on already). when will the beta become a non-beta? We need your software! Thanks.

Please email your response to me. I don’t want to have to come and find this message board (nor do I know if I can even find it again).

Thanks.

I’ve submitted a case on your behalf, Scott. We’re in the home stretch of the Vista-compatible beta now.

Hello! I am about to upgrade to Office 2007, including PPT but I don’t want to lose my Articulate application. I hate to wait, though. Can I get some kind of assurance that if I do upgrade to Office 2007, I won’t have to repurchase Articulate? Thanks!

Hi Bill-

This is not a problem. Just follow the directions in this blog entry about how to upgrade and you won’t have to repurchase Articulate Presenter.

Hi,
I have big problem with an installation on Vista and powerpoin 2007. When I´m recording it seems that articulate sets the sound quality to minimum 10 kbps ( 8 bit, 11 khz, mono) and you all know that sounds baaad. I really want a quick solution to this major problem.

Hi Leif- You might want to submit a support case so that we can help you with your specific issue.

I’m curious to find out if you are still on track for a release of a Vista-compatible version of your products by end of this month.

Hi Tim- Yes, as noted in the “Update (August 1, 2007)” at the top of this blog entry, we’ve supported Vista and PowerPoint 2007 since last year. You can learn more here.

Do I need a new version of Atriculate to work with Office2007? I just upgrade office and cannot see the Articulate function.

You should be running ver 5.3 for PowerPoint 2007. Since 2007 uses the ribbon toolbar, your Articulate menu should be in the Add-Ins tab.

We have a client who is producing their content in PPT 2007, and using SmartArt a fair bit. I would love to have the chance to participate in any type of Beta of Presenter to support this. We would share our results, and the client is a Provincial Licensing Body who may provide feedback or a testimnonial.

Greetings,
I am trying to work with Articulate Presenter on Vista with 2007 PowerPoint and cannot see the AP icon in the ribbon. When I try add ins I keep getting:
The Connected State of Office Add-ins Registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Cannot Be Changed

I tried running as admin in the Ppt app file to add teh ribbon but then Ppt won’t open at all and the MS diagnostic starts running. HAs anyong else experienced this issue. COuld really use help here as I can’t run Articualte Presenter at all.

Hi Julio- I’ve submitted a support case on your behalf for our support team to assist you.

Hi GABE, I have office 2007 on a win 7 machine. Few years ago I bought presenter 5 and I have just downloaded v.5.40. It seems to install correctly but I am not able to find the presenter tab. Where has it gone?
