URGENT: Major Text Box and Slide Malfunctions

Dec 11, 2016

My text boxes cannot be edited. When I click on one to change it, the text disappears. Sometimes if I try to click on the text box too many times, the entire slide disappears. I have tried uninstalling storyline and reinstalling as well. This project was working until I tried to upload a video into it. This is now affecting all storyline files.

Hi Kimberly! Sorry to hear you've run into these issues. Just to confirm, are you using Storyline 1?

Here are a couple of things I would recommend before we investigate further:

  1. Make sure your project files are located on your local hard drive (typically your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior due to latency.
  2. If it's still performing erratically on your local hard drive, repair Storyline.

Let me know if this works!

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks so much for responding. I am working on a locally saved file on my c drive so that is not the issue. I have also tried repairing storyline as well as uninstalling and reinstalling and I am still experiencing the issue with all storyline files. 

I am using Storyline 1. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Kimberly,

Thanks for sharing your case number. Storyline 1 was released some time before Windows 10, and based on that it isn't supported as our team shared. You may need to work with your IT team to downgrade to an earlier version of Windows (you can see the supported set ups here) but unfortunately Windows 10 and Storyline 1 will likely continue not playing nice with one another and cause this problematic behavior in the files and the program as a whole.
