Loading-problem with update of XSI

[Triops]

Hi,
I can't open my saved scene files (*.exp) on "Autodesk Softimage Modtool 7.5" any more. It looks like the problem is the last update. After deinstalling and reinstaling it was possible to open them, but after the update its the same. Has anybody the same problems?

I was having the same problem so i do not update it.

Are we talking about the commercial version of XSI, or is it Mod Tool 7.5 you're having problems with?

[Triops]

It's the mod tool 7.5 i have problems with.

I had this issue after an update last year. Try running it in Admin Mode. That's what solved it for me.

What happens when you do try to load the scene? Mine used to crash with something about a dll (x object something or another?). I had to run "runonce.bat", which is hidden in the /bin/ dir somewhere of XSI, before every start.. It was rediculous. I have recently reinstalled XSI and ZETools from http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=1371
And now I'm running smoother than ever.. It may be useful to note that I've also recently factory reset my laptop.

Thanks for your postings. I think I will reinstall xsi and dont update. Perhaps the next update will eliminate this error.

I think the issue is that Mod Tool appears to automatically update and I've never found a way to switch it off. Running Mod Tool in admin mode fixed it for me, though, so that's worth a try.
