Every time we try to lunch Audio Editor, Powerpoint crashes. We're using Presenter 13 with Powerpoint 2010 on one pc and 2013 on another and have the same result. Is there a configuration we need to change or an update that needs to be installed?
This happens to us too. Win 7, PPT 2010, Lenovo ThinkPad W530 systems with dual graphics (integrated graphics *and* NVIDIA dedicated graphics processor).
It has been suggested that the issue is impacted/caused by our hardware, specifically our graphics hardware, and that it is a 'known issue'.
Nice to know, but it doesn't resolve our issue. BTW, we cannot do Presenter video work either; Articulate 'Unexpectedly Quits'.
We've had these issues for nearly two years. We're down to just text and graphics in our Presenter courses now. If JPEG and PNG images start crashing Articulate we're in trouble... :-)
Please be sure that you are working locally on both project files and your software.
I would advise a repair of your software to see if this alleviates the issue and you are welcome to work directly with our support team as well so they can check logs, etc to try to further assist.
Thanks Justin. I looked in the forums and others have exactly the same
problem and there doesn't seem to be a solution. In fact, here's a reply
from another user in response to my post:

I replied to Justin's (Articulate Support) email to me after opening a support case (Articulate Case # 00611112) and apparently it was posted here automatically.
This is happening with me too - on one computer but not on the other. It happens consistently with one presentation, but not consistently with others.
In addition, on the "good" computer, some audio that was previously recorded (on the "bad" computer) doesn't show or play in Audio Editor, but it does in Record Narration. It just seems so glitchy and I can't get to the bottom of it.
I am working on the local drive when trying this. I use a flashdrive to move the presentation and associated PPT from one computer to another.
The tech guy at work is currently trying the "How to Repair Articulate Studio" on the bad computer. Hopefully that will solve it, but I will be keeping an eye on this thread.
It seems that in Mick's case it was specific to the file.
Are you having difficulty with just one file as well? I would suggest the following:
Open a new, blank presentation in PowerPoint.
Go to the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow beside New Slide, and choose Reuse Slides.
In the Reuse Slides panel, click the Browse button and choose Browse File.
Browse to your original PowerPoint file and click Open.
At the bottom of the Reuse Slides panel, mark the box to Keep source formatting.
Right-click the first slide in the Reuse Slides panel and select Insert All Slides.
Save the new presentation and republish.
Note: Articulate resources, such as audio and video, will need to be inserted again into the new presentation. You may need to export the narration from your original presentation, then import it into the new presentation.
In my case the issue eventually went away; we are now able to fully use Presenter (and its audio editor) without any issues. I don't believe there were any Articulate product updates during that time, so I'm left to guess that the issue resolved itself after one of the near-weekly Windows updates/patches that our IT team pushes onto our computers. Gotta love Windows! </sarcasm>
Best of luck, Sarah. For your sake I hope it's just a corrupted project.

Yes, we're working locally. We reinstalled on one of the pc's and the problem still happens. I'll contact the support team.
Sounds great Mick, I appreciate it.

Hi Mick! Looks like you responded to your case back in the forums.
FYI - Your signature has been added here too if you wish to pop in and update.
I replied to Justin's (Articulate Support) email to me after opening a support case (Articulate Case # 00611112) and apparently it was posted here automatically.
I'm not seeing where you responded to your case, that's why I assumed an error had occurred.

No worries Mick, I see where you are working with Abel now :)

Sounds great Amy. I popped in to check on Mick's case, but do not have an update at this time.
Hi - was there ever a solution found for this problem? I am experiencing the same problem now.
