Damaged Files - Desperate for Help!

[Dan_Neumann@adobeforums.com]

I hear you. I'm all for getting to the point and even being adamant when you know you're right. It just felt to me like you were rubbing it in when your advice proved to be right. Sorry, I shouldn't have piped in. This is a user forum, not a tea party

I think a couple of neener, neener, neeners are in order here.

The RAM problem may not be so clear cut folks I wasn't going to post again but I will point out what has been learnt over at the Illustrator Forum.

It would appear that it is not exactly bad RAM as much as mismatched RAM. Now it also appears that for some people they were not having this problem and then a couple of Apples security updates rolled around and then there you are.

Some people were having a problem with AI CS crashing a lot for instance Linda well some of those people found out though they had the same problem as she did that it turned out to be mismatched RAM and once they undid that the crashing stopped.

I mentioned it a long time ago and as i would be something to expect. I was booed out of the thread. It was an AI CS bug and not their configurations or hardware.

Oh, in the case of Linda her problem of course was different. She had a special fix created by Adam and I bet even with that fix it still crashes.

This maybe something that Apple is doing, not supporting third party RAM. Now keep in mind that I am not saying it is going to happen to you as well. Just keep your eyes open and think about recent Security Updates when it happens should it happen. Good luck!

One more thing in my case I don't care if you listen or not so if you think this is a load then never mind.

Wade,

The mismatched issue is indeed a factor sometimes. On my old FrankenMac there was an incompatibility with the ColorVision Spyder software (it would inevitably hang at a certain point in the calibration procedure) and much later I was able to trace it to a single 256MB RAM module that was just different from the other two. What was interesting was that the Spyder hardware puck and the OptiCal software worked just fine if only that one RAM stick was left on the mother board, or if it was removed and the other two put in place. You just couldn't mix that one module with either or both of the other two, but it worked fine by itself.

I had no clue but developed a hunch after a visual inspection of the RAM sticks, when I noticed one had different inscriptions on it.

All that being said. we have moved back to 7, Never having an issue in 7.
In 8, especially with .psb files we were seeing file corruption's described as above.
We thought the same, HD issue, Ram issue, connection or cord issue. None of the above applied to us.
Corruption or damaged usually un openable files Happened on several machines that we switched out rams and drives and never found a common to the problem other than PS 8.
Waiting with others for ps 8 .1 .psb fix.
good luck
