Was trying to import a largish obp. Bryce froze on me, and did the not reponding thing. I rebooted the pc tried again, and this time I not only lost all my imported presets, but I can not get it to import anything into the "user" library. In fact if I click on the blank squares it crashes. Can still import into the other sections. Any ideas how to solve this, or do I have to re-install. I do have most of my own stuff backed up, but if I have to re-install I am not certain where I have the bryce patch. Anyone got a link for that Please?

For future reference; When importing large obp's, it WILL look like Bryce has frozen, and your PC WILL tell you "Bryce is not responding". It is a lie, lol. (almost always) When you click to import a large mesh, walk away from the pc for a while, just let it munch on it, it WILL load up, eventually. Otherwise, as you have found out, if you force a reboot on your PC you will lose information. It's usually not retrievable. I found this out when using my P1 200mhz cpu with 32Mb of ram....it WILL load big obp's, it's just going to take some time. I loaded a 45Mb obp with that old PC... Sorry to hear about your info loss. ;o( A re-install sounds best, I would think. AS

Thanks AS I will remember that in future, although I have imported much larger obp's with much less trouble. I am assuming it is probably this particular file, and will dump it anyway and try making my own. It was just that I had a request for a particular image and short time to make. Note to self...it is often quicker in the long run to take the long way round. Firewall 1947 thankyou for that link...this time I will make sure I make a note of where I have backed up that file.
