I am in the process of publishing 3 modules for a course. I have created the modules in separate decks due to size. I just tried to merge Modules 1 and 2 together and Articulate keeps crashing. I am assuming it is just too big of a file to be able to publish successfully.
I am hoping that people can provide me some advice and/or best practices for publishing large courses. Is there a way to daisy chain them together? Or link to each module separately from a base module? Please let me know if you have any insight into this.
If you are unable to publish large presentations on your computer, it is likely that your system is running low on resources, including one or more of the following:
* Memory (RAM)
* Hard drive space
* Paging file
To address a memory issue, you would need to add more RAM to your computer or free up resources by closing other programs that are running. If the hard drive is nearly full, you would need to delete or archive files to free up space. To update your paging file, please use the following method, depending on your operating system:
WINDOWS 7 / VISTA:
1) Go to the Start menu.
2) Right-click "Computer," and select Properties.
3) Click "Advanced system settings" in the left pane.
4) The System Properties window should open to the Advanced tab. In the Performance section, click the Settings button.
5) When the Performance Options window appears, select the Advanced tab.
6) In the Virtual Memory section, click the Change button.
7) In the "Total paging file size for all drives" section at the bottom of the window, note the Recommended setting.
8) Then select the C: drive from the Drive list at the top of the window, and type a number equal to or greater than the Recommended setting (from step 7 above) into the Initial Size text box and also the Maximum Size text box.
9) Click the Set button.
10) Click OK three times to save your changes, and reboot your computer when prompted.
11) After your computer restarts, try to publish your presentation again. If it still fails to publish, increase the page file size until you are able to publish the file. If the issue persists, you will need to run some basic maintenance on your computer, including removing temporary files and defragging your hard drive.
WINDOWS XP:
1) Go to the Start menu.
2) Right-click "My Computer," and select Properties.
3) When the System Properties window appears, select the Advanced tab.
4) In the Performance section, click the Settings button.
5) When the Performance Options window appears, select the Advanced tab.
6) In the Virtual Memory section, click the Change button.
