I've got a scene I made last night, spent 3 hours or so on it total, but I was playing with the Brazil beta and closed the little console box that Brazil pops up... That screwed everything up... Max froze and I had to close it via Ctrl Alt Del... So I reboot my comp and open max then try to open the scene again but it fails to open, I tried Merge, XRef Objects, XRef scene and Norton (I'm desprate :p ), but none of them work, so if someone could please try and fix this thing I would REALLYYY appreciate it, even though theres not much work in it I'd hate to see what I've already done go to waste and have to do it all over again... :(

It's a max 4 file, maybe it will open with max 5 or someone could to to fix it manually.. Dunno I'd just realy like to have it fixed..

Thanks in advance.. :)

There should be a backup of your work in the back up folder, just open that and resave it out as a .MAX file

At the risk of stating the obvious did you check for .mx and .bak files in the autoback folder? :)

There is nothing in the backup folder, when I have an error I check open the backup and resave it then delete the autobackup, so I have nothing in the backup folder. :hmm:
