I'm pissed. All my hard work is gone.
Saturday, February 17, 2007 by XX | Discussion: DesktopX
I was working on my special project when I decided to make a backup so if I mess up, there's a backup to go back to, so I started to export object.
Guess what? DesktopX suddenly used 750 MB ram and of course it crashed.
Well I checked out my current theme folder to recover it. Guess what? Folder is empty!! WTF??
I tried to run it again and there it is, my project. It looked normal. Till I tried to use it. All scripts is gone! What the heck happened??

Did you check your cache? C:\Documents and Settings\{userName}\Local Settings\Application Data\Stardock\DesktopX
Maybe it's still there.

then i'm guessing probably not.
i have the smart exception turned on so whenever an SD product borks it wants to generate a report to send to the appropriate area (even give you the mailing address, subject, and shows where to find the file to attach - C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException\ZippedExceptions
any thing of relevance found in the Event Viewer?
start - admin tools - event viewer

I checked it before I restarted DesktopX. There was just 2 files, first theme ini file and other objects description file. All script files were gone.
I am looking into events now.

Those are just assumptions on my part - I also get a balloon in sys tray that says Im out of virtual memory quite often when I work offline in desktopX ...
Never happens online ....Im just used to it. But it does suck when you lose all your work.

I've usually been online when I play around with DTX so hadn't notice the diff of being off line.

Never had this myself. Works fine online or offline.
Maybe look at adjusting your virtual memory size in System Properties?
eg. System Properties|Advanced Tab|Performance Settings|Advanced Tabs ->Virtual Memory should be at the bottom

Ohh! Almost forgot to post what I intended.
I've been using FileHamster by Mogware during my work process to do real time backups. It's a very basic application compared to KeepSafe but, does the trick for me.

My virtual setting is currently at 2 GB, twice my system ram.
Fairyy~ I never got that message before since I had set it to a huge size.
Oh well in least I remember how to do some of fixes and modifications. It will take me about 2 hours to do again, however.
Maybe shorter since I did it already though.
IMHO, it will be one of best object I ever made. This one was to be basic version though.
Thanks for all the help, though!!

SirSmiley, it's minium. It makes system easier to defrag. Slow hard drive. 
Unfounuately it's a older version. I really need to get newer version of DesktopX.
