    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.

    Ronald think you just give the path for the journal - default is
    nothing..

    yes friday, drinking beer eating crisps time in the office!  :D
      its only emergency like scene crashing if you have a client
    deadline!

    hope it works for you but its not a magic solution, eg Fabrice
    here said 2 out 10 times success rate

            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 ;-)
