My softimage 2010 program worked fine 3 monthes ago but now I cannot save any files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program from my education suite I purchased 2 years ago, and it will not save anything I do on the program. It will not save preferences, curves, or any object created. It freezes after I try to save as… or use a shader in older files. What do I need to do to get my program back to normal? I can still model and render, but no preference or new objects can be saved. Please help because the program is basically useless if I cannot save.

File > Save and File > Save As both freeze Softimage?

Can you export a model?
Can you export with Crosswalk?

Can you save a script from the script editor?

I’m just wondering how general this problem is.

Maybe you allready figured it out, but i have to run Softimage as administrator, in order to save at all, hopefully this will do the trick for you!

That should not be necessary. Did you create a new project, for example in your “My Documents” folder?

To be honest, i’ve encountered this problem on softimage 2012, so i can’t say if it’s the same. Besides that i tried to use your workflow, but still have the problem. I don’t mind starting the program as admin though.
