HELP! Safe mode or repair?

[bigbrook]

I created a new folder within Project Manager. I named it (administration) and clicked off of it and RH7 froze. It will now display the "hourglass" I killed the project through task manager and reopened it. It opens fine, but when I click on anything I get the hourglass again. I rebooted the computer and it still does it. I went into Windows Explorer and removed the offending folder - still won't work.

Is there a "safe mode", repair or rollback that can be done to correct this? I am at a loss at what to do.

Try renaming the CPD in a copy of the project and then reopen it.

Peter, You are wonderful! Worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick and accurate response.

Ok Peter. That worked, but now every time I try to create a new folder, I get the hourglass. I does create them, but I have to shut down RH7 and bring it back up. What could be the underlying problem?

Hi Brook

What you seem to be describing is how things might behave and fall apart if your project were stored on a network drive. Is it? If so, move that puppy to your local C drive and watch the frustrations melt away like an ice cube in the Sahara.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick - However I already suffered throught the network drive problems long ago. This is stored locally.

It all started when I tried to create a new folder. The only thing that I did different then other times is that I accidently clicked on a folder rather quickly after re-naming the new one. It had not completed the process. Other then that, I've been doing the same thing - locally for a long time now.
