I was able to retrieve some crucial bits from the corrupted scene with
the Journal File and reloading the scene several times, so not
everything is lost. Thanks for the tip Rob, and for the help everyone.
cheers,

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.

in preferences>data management as far as I remember when I
last had this and was helped, it creates a text file that
tells you what models are loading and then on the next load
it 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 ;-)
