Thanks, I'll need to give it a shot if I don't want to loose a days work. Seems like all backups are corrupt as well.

The weird thing is I was able to load the last backup scene, and saved it under a new name. Then started redoing what was lost. But when reloading the redo scene Softimage crashes again, and now I can also no longer load any of the backuped scenes I could retrieve one of just 20 minutes ago. A scene that was fine and has not been changed is suddenly corrupt...it's voodoo I tell you.

Gonna check it tomorrow, I suspect I need some beer as well ;-)

Have a nice weekend.

        skips the ones that it finds bad?


    Is that the "Recovery Journal file" ? Do you remember where
    softimage writes the text file ?



        its a shot in the dark at least

        you do realise its friday > 5pm though and this kind of stuff
        is *meant* to happen.


    I smell a conspiracy ;-)
