Russel Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 HI, Have just ditched Vista for Windoz 7!! and VW2008 has stoped saving files. I am running it in compatability mode for XP with SP3. The starnge thing is when I save a file sometimes it does actually save the file but I get the following error about a corrupt file. sometime the file is there sometimes it's not, however if I export to VW12 or anyother format there is no issue and I can open the files again as normal, but they still will not save. Has anybody else come across this? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Why are you running in XP compatibility mode? Quote Link to comment

Mylesie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I have just started getting this problem in the last few days as well. All of a sudden it will not save files on VW2008. I have uninstalled and removed all traces of vectorworks and reinstalled. However i am still getting the issue with and without service packs installed. Any thoughts? Solutions? I am running Vista.

Ray Libby Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Please include the service packs you have installed for VW 2008 in your signature. Quote Link to comment
Mylesie Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just thought i would bump this thread, in the hope of any suggestions to get my VW saving again, rather than exporting to V12 to stop the corrupt files? It seemed to happen after a Windows update, not sure if this caused it, or just happened to align. Any help would be great Andrew Quote Link to comment
