Character bundles keep crashing Studio
Aug 10, 2015

Hello!
I have Studio '13 and have been trying to work on a new project. However, when I open PowerPoint and save the file so that I can work with the character bundles, I get 2 pop-ups when clicking "Articulate>Character>Illustrated." The pop-ups say: "Microsoft Office PowerPoint has stopped working" and "Articulate Presenter Authoring had stopped working."
Has anyone else had this issue or can suggest what I should do? This has happened multiple times now with the entire program automatically closing to give me those pop-ups.
Thank you!

Hi Christie,
Thanks for your reply! Yes, I am working locally. I will take a look at the links you provided and see if I can find something there, then let you know!
I don't think the file is the issue, so much as the program itself not working properly on any new file I save because I created several new files, and every time the program shut down when I tried to open the characters.
Hi, Zaynah -- Thanks for your response, and please keep us posted with the results you find after you try the other troubleshooting options above, as well. :)
Hi Christie,
I just tried to reinstall as administrator but got a pop-up that says "The installed version of this application could not be determined. The setup will now be terminated."
I don't know if this is because I had to get our IT department to install the program and would have to get them to try it.
Do you have any other suggestions?
