PLEASE HELP - EMPTY FILES

beemer535is · 21 Oct 2011, 02:48

Hi all, I have searched and cant find anything and am just about to jump off a cliff. this morning I tried to install norton ghost, it didnt work correctly, so I went back to the restore point prior. No problem, then I went to open sketchup 7, and it said -
alchemyext.dll is not a valid windows image. I repaired that and it opened okay, I then went to open my clients model (2 weeks of work 60mb fil and it opens and seems to load up, but is blank? then I checked some other recent files and they were blank too, just the axis, nothing.

I am stressing out as I have piles of work to get out and alot of 'blank' files, does anyone know what could be wrong, all files are showing up with large filesizes, and nothing. Same happens when I try to open in SU 8.

Please any help greatly appreciated, i'm losing it here!

Many Thanks,Nick

Could you share one of these files? Doesn't need to be the biggest (or most "sensitive" from a client)

Unfortunately the smallest file is 68mb. Thankfully I have found if I copy the skb file to another folder and rename it skp I can open it! THANK GOD! but i still fail to see what has happened?
