How to Reinstall Adobe Captivate
Adobe Captivate is software that lets you create interactive eLearning material such as online course content for college courses or even children just learning to read and write. However, it is possible to accidentally delete the software, or Adobe Captivate can become corrupted. If this is the case you probably want to reinstall the entire program on your computer. The installation process is similar to the original installation.
