Error message: file already exists - crush or save under?

When I try to open the .cp file I had already worked on today I now get the following messages series:

1 C:\Documents and settings/vsutherl/My Documents\My Captivate Projects\game\game2.cp already exists.
You want to overwrite the file or save it to a new file?

When I select "Overwrite" or a file save as, I get the following in response message:

Adobe Captivate cannot open 'game2.cp' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).

This started happening after I tried to click on the game2.exe file to review the project in its final form (autonomous), but click on the file .cp by mistake, which was already open.

Now, all four of the projects (which are clones of each other with simple text for each project edits) receive the same error message. I can longer open all source files (.cp) to make additional changes. This represents * weeks * to work and I can't start from scratch to rebuild all four projects - once again. I had many problems with these projects (by messages before here).

Other projects (totally separate and apart from these 4) open correctly. However, when corrupt game2.cpgot he caused all other files gameX.cp to receive the same error message. resulting no not a single file is corrupt but all 4 even though the problem that was initially detected was then an attempt to (re) open game3.cp (although already open).

How to overcome this type of file corruption? I use Windows 2000 and Captivate 3.

Help and thanks!

Vince

I found the reason of the error (he says with a bit of complications). My hard drive full after copying game1 to create game2; Game3 and game4. My pc is a corporate pc standard-issue with only a 4 GB drive (although I do graphic and web development), causing the hard drive fills up quickly. Once I deleted some files from my hard drive I was indeed able to open each of the files gameX.cp. And while I understand why I would get an error message 'file corrupted' I wish that I had received a 'no space available' message instead. It would have saved a lot of time, trouble and effort (not to mention the frustration). I thank all of you for your quick response to my original post, it is really appreciated! Vince

    Workbench from Adobe for the payment of the my_server gives errors: "Could not create the asset because the asset already exists ' and/or 'file already exists in the Bank with this name.  How is - a workaround?

    This seems to happen especially when I change the user/workbench configuration connection / "mode" etc.

    If worst comes to worst:

    Delete all subfolders of workbench LC (all below the 1.0 Roadmap).

    Restore the backup path directories.

    Error code 6 can come in many cases like:

    -subtitle area is larger than the title safe area in the monitor window

    -Engraving with big psd file in slide show

    -If the name of the disc is empty

    -burning a slideshow without pan and zoom or transition with H264 parameters

    -bit rate is too high and subtitles are there too

    -It may also be the case where there is a difference in the length of the video and audio track in the timeline

    You can try one of these. But these are just possibilities I know. Might work for you.

    Thank you

  • Error 12133: TT12133: database file already exists

    I had a ttback of the PROD NEOECSATLNP1 data store and try a subsequent restoration to my NEOECSATLNC1 uAT with this syntax

    did I miss something... If UAT currently exist, but I've done it ttdestroy before the restore process

    TXS

    The message is clear; the data store already exists. Although you did a ttDestroy, maybe something or someone connected to the DSN once you had destroyed it and before executing the restore? If so then the data store would have been recreated...

    You can check if the data store is using ttStatus. If the store is listed by ttStatus, then it exists.

  • Server 2008, XP roaming profiles and "cannot create a file when that file already exists"...

    Hi all

    I'm working on a Server 2008 domain with XP SP3 clients.  The question is: create a new user, their profile is \\server\profiles\%username% [where %nom user % is their new username!].  Security on the profile folder is set so that the administrators have full access and the user has read & execute, list folder content, read and write access.

    The user is able to login ok there is no problem with roaming profiles [otherwise, they would get a message on with a temporary profile loading] which suggests, but when they disconnect they get a message saying that some files could not be created [it varies], followed by "cannot create a file when that file already exists".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I just stumbled upon this problem there is, it's an easy solution to calm. If it's a .pdf to locate the file right click and select open with, then choose program select by default, choose the adobe reader software. What it does for each .pdf file it will use adobe reader instead of trying to use the wrong program to open the file. Same thing with .doc and .docx files only instead of adobe reader choose microsoft word

  • Do not take a snapshot - file already exists

    I'm taking a snapshot on a virtual computer and receive a "file already exists question."

    If I look at the structure of the computers folder virtual there are non - 0000.vmdk which I guess means there are no snapshots.

    However, I see a lot of vmsn files, probably 20 of them.

    NetBackup fails this virtual machine every night, that's how I picked up the snapshot cannot be created

    Help, please

    In my view, only the Delta file is the question. Durning an instant creation, that this file is created, after deleting this file should be gone.

    Then when it tries to create this file when snapshot, he sees already exist and so give the error "the file exists."

    Somehow this file gave me, but you can delete this file and all the files of vmsn.

  • Files already exist when reconnecting probably missing files

    I'm fighting to clean up hundreds of files in my database of the PSE Organizer.

    Whenever I launch reconnect it all the command (or any other command that requires a reconnection first), PSE locates a large group of likely the missing files. Dialogue to "Reconnect missing files" of the PSE shows me the former location of the files. I navigate to this place and find files always there. I then select the file and press on reconnect. Unfortunately, then I get an error that says: "the file already exists in the catalog. This clears the problem of file missing for the moment. However, when I run another missing file check, he'll still find these same files. I tried to plug back them several times but PSE continues to tell me that they must be reconnected but still know where the files are located.

    I have already run a database repair (no not found errors).

    I also ran an optimization of database without problem.

    Some system information:

    • Win7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
    • Dell XPS computer i7
    • 6 GB of RAM. > 350 GB of free space on hard drive
    • PSE 12... but also had the same problem on PES 11. I've updated hoping that the problem would be solved. It wasn't.

    Thanks for any help to eliminate this problem for me.

    -Bruce

    I solved my problem... even if I don't know what caused it or why Adobe program didn't fix for me.

    The "missing" entries that have been highlighted were all the duplicate entries. Adobe will not allow a duplicate in the same physical file entry. I deleted all of the offending entries and it cleared my problem. I hope this solution helps others.
