You said you could open the file with Captivate, as Administrator. Can you
make some changes to the document, and then save your changes; that is, with
the same name, in the same folder? Or can you just erase a vast amount of
it's content? I've never used the program, so I don't know how editing a
".cp" would work... My goal is to get the file to acquire properties. It's
corrupted, so I don't know if that would work.
