Maya Fatal Error

I'm running Maya 2008 on a HP xw4600 Workstation with an Intel Core 2 Quad (NVIDIA Quadro FX 570) with Window's Vista.

I'm experiencing a problem with Maya. Every time I try to load a scene, I get an error that says, "Fatal Error. Attempting to save in C:/Users/(my computer's name)/AppData/Local/Temp/(my computer's name again).20080305.1358.ma.

The first time this happened, it was after Maya crashed. I assumed the file lost and decided to start a new file and animate from scratch. This time the file did not crash. I closed the file and opened another model to make sure it was ready for referencing. When I went to re-open the scene I was animating, the error popped up. Not only does it pop up on that file, but all the files I saved before it.

I've looked online, I've changed computers (working in a lab), I've opened the file about a half a dozen different ways, I've tried opening it without any references, with a new reference, made sure that triple buffering and overlay are both turned off, changed screen resolution, etc, etc, etc.

I can't move forward animating if every scene I work on is going to end up like this. If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd be eternally grateful.

Did you send in the CER report ? With the FX570 you probably want to allow the driver to use the Maya defaults, i.e. overlays, .. most of the other problems are found with the GeForce card drivers. what driver are you using ? 169.25 ? Have you installed 2008 SP1 to see if that helps. file a bug with scene file that can reproduce the problem.

It is possible to be a error from the Open GL Triple Buffering, try to turn it off and it might just star to work great.
I used to have the same problem some time ago, and as soon as I turned it off, Maya started back again with no errors at all.

There seems to be two solutions. You can turn off the Triple buffering option in Open GL or if this dosent work just go to: C:\Windows\system32\ and rename or move this file ig4dev32.dll to a safe place in case you need it later.

We are tracking a similar bug in ADSK support and are wondering if you can try something to see if the crash goes away.

When you have a moment please locate the maya.env file. In Windows 7 it is located in "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\maya\2014-x64". Load the maya.env file with notepad or any other text editor. It will most likely be a blank file unless you have added something in the past. in the first available line add the line below save and launch Maya.

MAYA_DISABLE_CIP=1
