ACID 2, "no RIFF header" no tune!! urgent -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID 2, "no RIFF header" no tune!! urgent Posted by: QUANTUM Date:6/12/2004 8:51:47 AM Please, please help. Our pc crashed while saving our project as a wav. When we tried to re-open the ACID 2.0 pro file the following message comes up, "An error occured while opening the file, the file is ost likely corrupted, or of an unknown format. A neccessary RIFF header is missing" Has this ever happened to anybody?. Now the ACID file cannot be opened, the same error message, as above, just keeps popping up. We are devestated as we had worked for a few weeks on this particular tune, and it was sounding so good. Please let us know if there is anything you can advise. you can email quantumleep@queeporganicmusic.com anytime. This is very urgent as we need this file for an upcoming project (v. soon !)
Subject:RE: ACID 2, "no RIFF header" no tune!! urgent Reply by: Iacobus Date:6/12/2004 10:16:17 AM Is there a file size for the ACD file? If it's zero, it sounds like the project has been corrupted. I've heard this is because the hard drive did not properly write the file when your system crashed. Are you using Windows XP? Do you have System Restore on? If so, try rolling back to before your system crashed. Other than that, there's not much else you can do for the project. It's very important to always back up important projects. You never know when a disaster will strike (like now). The later versions of ACID from 3.0 on also have a crash recovery feature.

Subject:RE: ACID 2, "no RIFF header" no tune!! urgent Reply by: Iacobus Date:6/14/2004 11:30:15 AM Hmm. If possible, try sending just the ACD project to me at iacobus@rodelworks.com. I'll let you know if I can just open the project. (ACID should tell me that it can't find the relevant media files, but I should still be able to load the project.) Make sure you put something like "ACID 2.0 Project from QUANTUM" in the subject line. Otherwise, I might not catch it when filtering my email for spam. (And I get a lot of spam.)
