Subject:RE: invalid argument? Reply by: Iacobus Date:10/21/2003 12:29:19 PM Can the project be opened? If so, have you tried saving it under a new name? Do other projects work fine when saving with embedded files? (Be sure to backup projects before attempting this. Actually, always backup your projects a regular basis so you don't run into such a problem like this. You'll save some potential heartache in the long run.)

Subject:RE: invalid argument? Reply by: borgania Date:10/21/2003 3:46:23 PM thanks for your prompt reply mD... unfortunatly it can't be opened and other projects saved like this can...usually...he says he has saved it to cd in the zipped format but acid just won't recognise it... :( Su
Subject:RE: invalid argument? Reply by: Iacobus Date:10/22/2003 1:56:40 PM Hi again Su, How was the project burned to CD? Try not to use those proprietary packet-writing programs like ones used by Roxio's Easy CD Creator or Ahead's Nero. In my experience, they've been unreliable vs. the traditional method of burning data to CD-R/CD-RW. Have you tried copying the project to the hard drive and opening it from there? (Might want to check the properties of the file and ensure that the file is not set to, "read only," once it's copied.)
