In a way I'm glad to hear about your problems as I was afraid it was just me doing something stupid. A few weeks ago, I decided to do some Revolutioning on a PC as the Mac was busy. I worked away, saving dutifully every few minutes, then when I had finished, I transferred the file back to my Mac.
Next day, I opened up the stack and found it included none of my PC edits! I searched the PC drive and found that my backup stacks and my edited version were all identical i.e. all my work had somehow disappeared. Is this a system related problem? I was using Windows XP when this happened, but I have never had any such problem with Mac OS 9 or X. I haven't tried anything else. What systems have other people been using when they experienced this? Sarah On Wednesday, May 22, 2002, at 04:13 PM, Chipp Walters wrote: > Hey Rob, > > Sorry to hear about your problems.
