Hello, Just a word to tell a very bad thing that just happened to me (8 hours work lost).
I use Delphi 7 under Vista ? Now I do nearly all my developments using Vista machine to be sure they work as they should (I had too much non-working or work-strange projects with this new OS). Until now I had no stability problem but today D7 forms suddenly became non-responsive after fireing a breakpoint (I could minimize delphi forms but no way to close), unable to kill D7 from task manager, Explorer goes non-responsive, "reboot" had no effect. But the problem is not there... Because of this freeze state I had to turn off the machine manually, I saw harddrive was blinking every second as usual when machine is doing nothing, so I hoped to not loose any data only some code lines I type since my last CTRL+S a few minutes ago. After restarting , D7 told me its lincense file was bad (oups that was announcing bad things), starting Delphi registration application told me same thing and after multiple registration tries, it finally solved to problem. But biggest problem : All opened .pas .dfm has been filled with zero bytes !!! all today's work is lost including the .~pas I hoped to be able to re-use. Until now I used to do per day backup but after this problem, I'll try to automatize it every work hour ! Slightly OT subject, certainly not specific to D7, it do not require any answer, just take care everybody this is the first time I had this zero byte filling problem !
