I was attempting to save my project as I do often but when I did it once the whole computer hung. I had to warm boot the computer. When I attempted to reopen the project 3D Studio stated that it was an "Invalid Project File". I got some of my work back by renaming the temporary file but not all. My specs are: 3D Studio: Version 3.0 Vibrant: Latest version downloaded from this forum. Processor: 486 DX2 66 Mhz Hard Disk: 420 with 35M free Memory: 24M(19M available in 3D Studio) Display: MAG 17" Graphics: Matrox Ultima Mem Manager: HIMEM.SYS and SMARTDRIVE(DOS 6.2) Can you tell me how I can get the project file back, since it contains all the shapes I was using! How can I prevent this happening again. I have been using the program for more than 4 months on the same system and this is the first time it has ever happened. The project contained about 22,000 faces. Thanks.
