Step 1. Install Adobe Captivate

Programs to open CPVC file
Remember to download programs supporting CPVC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Captivate with CPVC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CPVC file to open in the Adobe Captivate application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Adobe Captivate application as the default for handling the CPVC file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Captivate to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Adobe Captivate program, it is possible that Adobe Captivate Video Composition Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CPVC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CPVC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CPVC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CPVC file. Sometimes virus-infected CPVC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CPVC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CPVC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CPVC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CPVC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
