ARGH! I hate those pop-ups on my comp!computer erased it!!!!!!!! completely!
I got a full-sized page colored and ready to shade on my Painter 6 program.
I was saving the page (I do it every few changes I make)...in the .riff format then I got this friggin' 'illegal operation' window that is going to close the painter program... DURING the save!

had no choice...
so I restarted the computer and the entire page only saved the background... all colored background boxes... crap

before I saved it... it had 5 layers and canvas
now it's saved the layer 1 and canvas

whoever invented the 'illegal operation' pop-up should be shot and hung for display :(

now if you excuse me, *bashes head on wall*

We should start the anti-illegal-operations-society [img]smile.gif[/img]
Legal operations for everyone!

I'm all for that!

you know what really kicked me in the butt? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ons/icon28.gif I was doing that page for a friend

*sighs* have no choice in that matter but to start all over again

Go to 2K or XP. They are much much better as far as stability is concerned.

check out www.panicware.com that might be helpfull.

Oh yes, hung up for display... now where would be the most apporait place... the whitehouse? *grins broadly*

XP is slow but more stable
instead of illigal preformence stuff you have to wait 2 houres but it won't crash

XP more stable? I wish!

I have had problem after problem with it.. mostly related to the internet. after the laest patch, none of my desktop icons work. not to meantion that nice little security blunder when it first came out.. grrr!!!

I'm regressing back to ME as soon as possible!

That's the sort of thing that makes you want to throw a computer out a window.

I sympathise Adame. (a dame...) ;)

What I do is multiple saves every so often, (thisname.riff + thisname2.riff etc) or before I do a radical change. You never know.
