Hi, For several months, I've been getting this problem a few times when I try to save my work. A popup appears telling me that another user has locked onto my file and giving me three choices: Steal the lock, Proceed the saving at my own risk (and the other user's risk), or Abort. After having chosen to abort, this file pop's up in the working directory after the crash (note: the original file is called file.pp): .#file.pp -> lluthi(a)iispc03.unil.ch.12794mY bgcolor="white" csheight="19">??????<center>???????<a href="Chagall_Bible_etchings.html">Bible Etchings</a></center>?????</td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="96" height="19" colspan="5" rowspan="1" valign="top" align="left" xpos="192" content bgcolor="white" csheight="19">??????<center>???????<a href="Chagall_Bible_etchings2.html">Bible etchings 2</a></center>?????</td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="96" height="19" colspan="5" rowspan="1" valign="top" align="left" xpos="320" content bgcolor="white" csheight="19">??????<center>???????<a href="Chagall_Bible_etchings3.html">Bible etchings 3</a></center>?????</td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="16" height="19"><spacer type="block" width="16" height="19"></td>?????<td width="128" height="19" colspan="6" rowspan="1" valign="top" align="left" xpos="448" content bgcolor="white" csheight="19">??????<center>???????<a href="Chagall_56Bible_lithos.html">1956 Bible Lithographs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/centerU=gÉð&lt;Y??¹±H¤_C¤*»`ú?Ù(a)xn--??h?-5oak.xn--h,n??;? ?x???-ora2f48bua8a5cd3fwe8g8bt346k The incredible part is that we were able to recognize in the lines above, web sites that one of my collegues (in the next door office) was visiting a few minutes before the "crash". My adiminstrator has no idea of what the source of the problem could be and asked me to check it with you.
