Cannot control Replay nor activate with my serial number.

You bet!  Thanks Ashley

Happy to help Jason. If you want to let me know the case number, I'll follow along in case it's something more general to be shared back in this thread. 

Hi Jason and Ashley

I'm having exactly the same problem. Did you figure out a solution? Thanks. Janet.

Same exact issue for me (Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit). Below is a video of exactly what happens when I launch the application (I basically lose control of it):

Hi Janet and Raymond,

I don't see Jason's case so I don't have further information on a solution that was provided to him. If you'd like to connect with our Support team you're welcome to do so here. 

Have you already tried to repair Replay? 

Hi Janet and Raymond! Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty.

This is an issue that our QA Team is trying to understand and isolate, but there are a few troubleshooting tips that you can try first.

• Verify that video hardware acceleration is enabled
• Repair Replay
• If the repair does not assist

If it persists after the above solutions, please reach out to our support team so that they can gather further documentation and report as needed to our QA Team.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes Raymond

Thanks Ashley & Leslie (and thx for the welcome!).

I tried all of the troubleshooting tips (and was ready to try more but I think I ran out!).

I've been in touch with your support staff so I believe the issue is being escalated and I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this. Glad to be a test case and looking forward to using Replay (looks awesome).

Thanks,

Raymond

Thanks for the update Raymond! I was just reading up on the case you submitted (00364389), thanks for the assistance

Thanks Raymond for the update.

Hi, Raymond.

I am having very similar issues with Replay. Any update? If the issue was resolved.

Hi Fred and welcome to Heroes!

I checked in on Raymond's case, and after some testing, his was reported to our QA team. Not knowing if your issues are the same as his, would you be able to submit a Support case so that our team can help you troubleshoot further? Please reference this forum thread so that they know it may be similar to Raymond's case. 

Hi Ashley,

Yes, I did submit the case. However, the recommended process did not work. I even contacted the tech support for my system and they run a few tests but the issue was with the Replay compatibility with Windows 8. They advised me to have the software team check on this issue and here I am waiting clueless.

Hi Fred,

Can you let me know your case number so that I can look into it? 

I run Windows 8, and haven't run into any problems yet - but there is a known issue when trying to open Replay after upgrading to Windows 8.1 and there are troubleshooting steps outlined here. 

Thanks Ashely for prompt reply, here is my Case #00365259.

I am using a brand new HP Pavilion PC with pre-installed windows 8. Apart from MS office and articulate studio '13, it has no other software.

Hi

I am still having the same problem but I am using Windows 7. I have completed the troubleshooting steps that I was sent, but still can't access the software. Waiting to hear more. Thanks.

Hi Fred,

I see that Justin Grenier replied to your Support case earlier this AM with the following directions:

To help us diagnose this issue, please upload the Replay error logs from your computer. Here's how:
http://www.articulate.com/support/replay/how-to-upload-articulate-replay-error-logs-to-articulate-support

If you didn't receive his email you'll want to look in your junk/spam folder, and you can reply to his email from Support@articulate.com

Thanks Ashley, for some reason I do not see Justin's email. It might be still waiting to clear from our server firewall and I get a report once a day once the report I will mark his email as safe sender. Meanwhile I will send the error logs.

Hi Fred,

Seems odd, as it's the same email address that you were communicating with Wilbert, but keep us posted if you find something in the server firewall report. Also, when you upload the logs, please be sure to use the case number: 00365259

Hi Janet,

Since your situation seems to be closer to Raymond's (Win 7) it may be connected to what we've reported to our QA team. If you've tested the links Leslie included above, and are still having difficulty we're happy to look into your individual situation. Please connect with our Support team, and you can reference this thread to let them know what you've already tried.

Hi Ashley, odd but after uploading the error file, I did receive an acknowledgment email from Justin. Anyways, I went through the procedure completing all the sets and send the file. Looking forward to see this issue resolved, thanks for your help.

Thanks Fred, and I'm sure Justin will be in touch once he's had time to review your logs. 

Hi Ashley,

While waiting on Justin's reply. I took a different PC with Windows 7 system on it, and it did the same thing. However, I was able to see the error messages in detail section. They were:

Any advice on this system?

Hi Fred,

I see that Justin replied to your email yesterday evening - were you able to see the replies within your server firewall report?

I've copied his response below for you:

Thanks for sharing your crash dump and for allowing us to review it! We have identified a handful of customers who are impacted by the same behavior as your scenario. 

Unfortunately, we were unable to determine a workaround. We have reported this issue to our Quality Assurance team for their review. I cannot offer a time frame for when this issue will be addressed, but we will keep you posted with any developments. 

Hi Ashley, thanks for the update. While I was unable to get an email from Justin except one that I was sent directly to my Inbox, samp mail report does not have any of his emails.

I am not sure, but is it possible he has a wrong email address?

Anyway, it looks like based upon this information, we have to make some sort of executive discuss on moving forward with the Replay.

Hi Fred,

I'll check into the emails and see if that was part of the problem, but I'm glad we were able to share the information with you here.
