ManuelM Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Something weird has happened to my project on the production computer. I had it open when a power failure occured. After restarting the computer and opening Watchout, it asked me to load an autosave that was more recent. I clicked yes and the computer froze. I forced restart again and tried to open the original project file directly, but the computer keeps crashing. Have any case like this happened before? Any clues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Popular Post jfk Posted March 12 Moderator Popular Post Report Share Posted March 12 wow, very old version. Anyway, i would make no further attempt to open the file that crashes when you attempt to open it. i would instead go to your watchpoint / display machine and attempt to retrieve a valid show file from there using this procedure: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelM Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 There's nothing much I can do with the version since the decision to update it doesn't depend on me. I managed to rescue the project from an older autosave, but it's good to know that you can also do it from the Display computer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
