Kevin Beacham Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I am a Spotlight/RenderWorks user. Since upgrading to 10.5.1b I am noticing corrupted/damaged files. I?m sorry I can?t be too scientific about cause and effect but it has only started happening since upgrading to 10.5.1b. I am running 2 machines a Dual 1Ghz desktop with 1.5Ghz of RAM and a 12? G4 867 Laptop with 640MB of RAM. The first time I noticed it I had opened a file, created on the desktop, on the laptop (which was still running VW10.1.2 on Panther) and it would continually crash VW. I thought it was because I had not done the 10.5.1b upgrade even though I had been using other files in Panther running 10.1.2 on the laptop quite successfully. Anyway, the file I was using as my ?symbol library? file was corrupted too (also discovered on the laptop), and a file I opened today (only ever used on the desktop) was damaged and most of the information was gone. I often synchronise files with a shareware product called Revival. I sent the crash report to Apple, I don?t know what they do with these reports, or if they forward them to Nemetschek Can anyone else say they have had a similar experience or know what I am doing wrong? Does anyone know of a fix. I would be happy to send the corrupted files to Nemetschek if you give me an address to send it to. It?s cost me a heap of time, and I?m getting terrified to open untouched files. Quote Link to comment
Kevin Beacham Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 I should add, further to the previous post, I was able to recover the most recently corrupted file from the VW Backup folder. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 If you get a damaged file, you should contact tech support if you are in dire need of the file to be fixed. Second - the final version of VW 10.5.1 is available, so you should get that. http://www.nemetschek.net/downloads/index.html Quote Link to comment
