Articulate is freezing and not sure why. I create large story files taht are very simple - only links and text, no triggers, animation. Basically a glorified powerpoint. I have made quizzes and much more complicated documents that are more than twice this size.
All of a sudden I cannot open the last three files I worked on. When I open, the storyview shows all my scenes flickering, the wheel turning and it will not load the rest of the file.
-file size is 18MB
-simple text document
-working off my desktop
-saving frequently and with new file names each day.
If I could just get into the file and be able to copy a few scenes out. Or delete the majority of the file, to make it smaller and save in several versions.
Have you tried opening a new Storyline project, and importing slides from your other file? Could possibly work.
(BTW, I converted an old Articulate Studio project to Storyline recently - 470MB! Ridiculously large (the Presenter file and PPT were less than 80MB combined), but it handled it reasonably well considering.)

Sorry about that Jane. If this were happening to me, I'd probably delete Storyline off my computer and then re-install it.
By the way, are you getting any error messages?
I am not getting any error messages.
When I go into task manager it ssays it is still 'Running'
Plus, I can easily open other, smaller files (Up to 16,300 KB)

Great solution, Thanks so much!
