JSiegel Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi all, My Vectorworks seems to be frozen? See screen shot. I can't quit/save, etc. How does one solve this problem. Simply shutting down & restarting the computer doesn't work?? TY Jeremy Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hi Jeremy, I had this happen last week. I have no idea what causes it, but I was able to fix it by Force Quitting VW's, then restarting my computer, then restarting VW's (although the computer restart might be redundant). You probably already know this, but you can force quit any app by holding down Command/Shift and then hitting ESC... p Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Try VW>Anom>Vectorettes or I believe this has something to do with external hard drives. Where VW is poised to save backups to a hard drive and somehow gets entangled in keeping the address active. I resolved the problem by hot-unplugging the firewire. (I know not recommended) But it worked and the hard drive was ok afterwards. Quote Link to comment
JSiegel Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Peter & BCD, Thanks, I will keep these in mind. Another method that works is to shut off the computer & unplug it, take the dogs for a walk, come back a half hour later & it works properly! J Quote Link to comment
