Same situation here. I am trying to retrieve a previously saved car scene. But every time i click on that scene, i get this message:
Fatal error. Attempting to save in C:/users/Joe/AppData/Local/Temp/Joe.20110602.0946.ma.
After which Maya prompts me to save this scene and shuts down.
I have a student version of Maya 2011 purchased from Journey Ed.
The hardware is an ASUS notebook G73jh series
With a Windows 7 home operating system
A 6.00GB memory, the system type is a 64bit operating system
The Graphics card i think is the ATI mobility RadeonHD 5870.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
