[Equest-users] file format error! is all my work lost?

[Dahlstrom, Aaron]

Pasha - I definitely agree. When we switched to Windows 7, I had a host of phantom "invalid argument" errors that only resolved when I switched to running eQUEST in compatibility mode.

For those of you that are using Windows 7, have you set the "compatibility" settings within eQuest?  If you set eQuest to be compatible with XP Service Pack 3 (or 2) this will help eQuest to work smoothly within Windows 7 operating system and against all other programs that you might have running at the same time as eQuest.

If you need to be talked through the steps to get this set feel free to give me a call at 308-763-1593--it will take 3 minutes to talk you through it and do some checks on your files.

I run 3.64 on both a Windows XP laptop and Windows 7 laptop, and I haven't encountered these issues anymore.

Cheers,
Pasha

A fellow co-worker and I have also experienced this frustrating message a few times now.
Both of our computers are less than 2 weeks old with windows 7, and we downloaded eQUEST 3.64 last week.

The problem is happening on new projects that we started last week, so it's not an issue with old and new versions... just this new version.

Please let me know if anyone is finding a solution to this.
