Program affected by virus.

[plowman12]

I have been using FL for about 2 years now. The day before yesterday, my computer got infected with a virus. I have since gotten rid of it and everything was back to normal except...

- FL wont let me open saved projects anymore. It lets me save them, but when i try to open it up, it says that the file is corrupted, or a plugin caused the error.

I have tried reinstalling but it wont work.

I have contacted Image line but they havnt answered back yet.

WHAT DO I DO?

[Father-of-Death]

this happend to me too......

i'd like to know the answer..............

[Khuskan]

system restore GO GO GO.

preferably to a point before you got the virus.

[AtomicTerrorist]

It didnt even fix it with System restore :@

wtf?

maybe ur virus scanner accidentally quarantined it, check the files it isolated and make sure that they're all actually dangerous

hmm.. its not that.

here is the error that i am getting.

Reinstalling does not work, i tried fixing the registry but to no avail...

I am running out of ideas. Its pretty lame having to keep FL open all the time so i dont lose my work.

lol i didnt notice i was logged with an alt when i made the thread

If it's corrupted, you can't rescue the flp file anymore.

It happened to me 3 times on my old 128mb ram pc!

ya. i know but this is just gay.

After reinstalling to test it out. i created a little 2 sec loop. and saved it, it was "corrupted" as well

It DOES NOT let me open anything.

Even if i just made it

Hm on which system "emulation" are you using FL? 95, 98, XP, Vista?

Look at properties of FL.exe and change to an older version of the system you are using!

FL 6.0.8 Producer edition
Windows XP Media Center Edition

so downgrade to FL 5?

No, no. Don't do that. What he meant was as follows:

1. Right click on FL.exe in your FL directory
2.Go to properties
3.Go to version tab and change the OP system version

The problem with this, is that there is no clear OP version listed, nor is it interchangeable.

Try this:

1.in properties, go to Compatability tab.
2.Make sure that the checkbox "Run this program in compatability for" is UNCHECKED.

Dunno if this helps, but good luck coming to a solution.

[AtomicTerrorist]

thanks for your help guys but it didnt work.

so im just going to use my system recovery DVDs and reinstall everything.

I'll be back! ...in 2 hours :/

[bladerunner627]

AtomicTerrorist if any of your songs get corrupted they usually get thrown in a backup folder, but I don't remember where that is.

[B0UNC3]

Thats wrong...The last save you did will end up in a temporary folder called the trashbin whicyh should be located in ur FL/trash folder thingy

[TenchuX]

I lost a Sonic 2 song to a similar thing like 2+ years ago and it has not happend since. I recall the reason it happend to me was because of a bad plug in that I used.

Why are you asking me? He said he can't get anything, meaning backup, or saved files. C'monj it's been in front of you this whole time, buddy. You're wrong.

Sorry.

[DJ-Ravecore]

Best thing you can do:

Next time open a new Backup Folder and put a copy of the project file in. I'm doing that everytime when I saved a file.

[BigFuzzyKitten]

simple, reinstall FL

I bet it was the SS virus, wasnt it?

They like me I want them to love me like they love pot

maus is a fat lesbian

dunno

I reinstalled everything after the destructive Recovery and guess what>?

It was stupid again.

Turned out it was the installation files that are currupted and i have to wait for that stupid email from image line until i can redownload it.

[XBrav]

If you can save me a blank fl file with only a sampler track and send it to me, I can save one in FL6 and do a checksum to see where your issue is in the file. I might then be able to recover others. Just a thought tho.

[kylexthexpostman]

Well, AT, all I can say now is that I hope you get it fixed. If they don't help you then demand a new package or whatever be sent to you.

Sorry. =/

[Father-of-Death]

=(
