<DIV>I have experience similar problems with older versions of Illustrator on PC's.</DIV>
<DIV>It turned out that the novel Network was interfering with the programs ability to make Temp files, (at least that's what I was told).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>it might be worth looking into having no network, saving to the hard drive and then logging in to the network to back up the work.</DIV>
<DIV>although it was also re-naming files as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>cheers</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hi Claire, not sure if this is relevant to your problem. It could be a <BR>network-setting-priviliges thing. Have you spoken to your technicians?<BR>At our school, when you save a file from within an application to another <BR>network location (Windows network and operating system), you get a file name <BR>but 0kb file size.. Students can save into their own u:\ drive location no <BR>problem, but to submit work for assessment to our 'Student Assessment' <BR>folder which is on a dedicated network drive, they have to copy the file <BR>using windows explorer - helps with file management skills too! The slow <BR>problem is most likely some other network activity or something in the <BR>students actionscript, as Paul suggested.<BR><BR>Glenn Drew<BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR>From: "claire" <claire@warrandytehigh.vic.edu.au><BR>To: "VET Multimedia Teachers' Mailing List" <vet-mm@edulists.com.au><BR>Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 3!

(report writing stress!!)<BR>> Excuse the long post, but if anyone can solve or even logically explain <BR>> what is going on, I'd be rapt!<BR>><BR>> The problem is really random. Kids save work across the network to their <BR>> home directory and 9 times out of 10, it's OK. But every so often, it will <BR>> appear to save, they shut down or just go out of Flash and when they <BR>> return to open the file, it is empty - looking at it in explorer reveals a <BR>> file size of 0 Kbs.<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR><A href="http://www.edulists.com.au">http://www.edulists.com.au</A> - FAQ, resources, subscribe, unsubscribe<BR>VET Multimedia Mailing List kindly supported by<BR><A href="http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au">http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au</A> - Victorian Curricu!
