Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, Presenter 8 and 10 will not publish and play with AICC selected. I tried on different machines. I also tried sending the zip file to our LMS admin and he also got a stalled loading screen (despite trying many things).
As luck would have it, my colleague has Adobe Presenter 7 (her hardware, OS and updates are otherwise identical to mine) and it works like a charm! I can even create a presentation using a newer version and send it to her to have it published. It's kind of a pain, but at least it works.
I am still dying to know why AICC will not work with Adobe Presenter 8 and 10. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
