Hi Gerry,

I expanded the file. I'll attach that file here so you can examine the error I received directly. I had XDP6 open already and tried without success to open it. I also had a hang in DPX. But XDP7 did open the expanded file.

I renamed the original as 1.xar, the output 2.xar. Less command line typing...

Take care, Mike

May I make a suggestion born by my experience? I have a habit of incremental renaming of working files. While doing small, quick jobs (which usually mean less money) this seems a hassle and a time-waster, it has saved my bacon many times in whatever application I am using. I would encourage everyone to use such a scheme.

Take care, Mike

Hi Guys and Gals,

Another thing that I've noticed is I've had to reboot both of my machines after trying to open this file. I get the error messages, have to kill XDP7 or DPX and then my machines both slow right down, almost like I have a virus.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Ed, I have not experienced that.

Bill, the BOGO file crashed my XDPX. Maybe crashed isn't the right term, got an error then it my XDPX stop responding twice.

Sorry Larry, it did not work for Earthprints either.
