Cheryl, You know, I've run across the "Invalid Project File" error a couple of times. How this error can occur seems to be a number of possibilities, the biggest being bad sectors on your hard drive. I don't think that a permanent Windows swap file should cause data corruption. I've run Animator Studio and 3D Studio on computers with several OS cofigurations and never run across that particular error. My suggestion is to scan your disk for any bad sectors. If your find any, that is probably your culprit. If not, you might have just run into a situation where the PRJ file was corrupted when being saved(it happens). The data being saved could have just encountered an I/O fluke and was errantly written. Jh
