PW rendering fails to save

[rockguy]

We have been having an intermintant issue the last couple of weeks. We save a PW rendering and everything works as normal. The processing dialog box does it's count down and we recieve a message when the rendering is done which says somehting to the effect of "your rendering saved succesfully, blah, blah, blah" . This is all normal behavior. The problem, when you go and find the saved rendering file it's empty, It actually won't even open and the file size is a ridiculously low number like 100kb. I can't seem to pinpoint any sort of pattern to the problem it just happens intermintantly. Is any one else seeing this or have any ideas?

TIA

No. I'm wondering if your installation is hosed. Mine seems to work fine, but I'm still using SP2.0.

We are on Sp2.0 also. It's just odd that it started all of the sudden. Maybe a good clean unistall and re-install is in order?

Are you saving across a network? Are you saving with a file name that has already been used? Saving to a read only folder?

Just more things to check.

I've had it happen on 2 different machines. One was saving to a network location and the other was saving locally, No it was a unique file name and I don't think the folder was read only but I will double check that.

I also thought it may be the size of the file (image too large) but that wasn't the case either.

Thanks for the thoughts Matt. I have the feeling this is going to be one of those things that never gets figured out like Roswell and the meaning of life.

Yikes--perhaps the clean reinstall? Seems strange.

UPDATE: Well things went from bad to worse. PW stopped saving renderings all together. This forced me to unistall and then re-install. The good news is, everything is working normally now. Thanks for your help
