It is worth trying the disconnect from workgroup thing, and another thing to try is to have the ICE tree window open, and then failing that try render tree and on to material manager.

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 On 1/11/2013 18:33, Rob Chapman wrote: 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 On 11 January 2013 17:27, Toonafish <ron...@toonafish.nl<mailto:ron...@toonafish.nl>> wrote: in preferences>data management as far as I remember when 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 ;-) - Ronald
