HELP! I was working on an object today and about halfway through it Imagine crashed. I have learned from my previous mistakes, so I had it saved and only lost a little work. When I Loaded the file after the crash The solid view looked like it had triangles going all through it. The other views looked fine. after a few minutes of playing with it to see if I could fix it Imagine crashed again. I rebooted and loaded the file again and save the file out as a different file when I tried to load the file I got the message Not a TDDD file. I tried saving it as a dxf file and then loading it again. First time it worked, but there were a few faces missing. After fixing just about all the missing faces, you guessed it, Imagine crashed again. Once again I tried reloading the DXF file. Imagine seems to load it, but it just hangs with the "busy" cursor after. I <sigh> rebooted again and started Imagine this time I didn't load anything. After a few minutes, Bingo! It crashed again. I tried reinstalling the imagine.exe file from the disk. I tried scandisk, chkdsk,and about three virus scanners and nothing seems to help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really don't need these problems right now. Thanks, -Sam J. Bowling
