Hi, I have the following problem, please see the attached image.
How can I fix this? I get this popup window when loading projects done in ver AC19 and earlier. Currently using AC20.

Any help, tank you.

The problem is with autosave IMHO. Some data is corrupted..
When opening a normal file it loads ok or shows something similar?

The dialog You see may be a sign of HDD failure.

It is caused by legacy library parts. A couple of versions back (AC17 I think) Graphisoft eliminated some global variables. Unfortunately I have library parts I still use that go back to AC6 and so everytime I load my personal library I get the same error.

Since I am not familiar with GDL I don't have any way to fix it. Too bad Graphisoft didn't included a fix when migrating libraries.

Hi Piotr
I have no problem with New files... Just the old ones...

Hi Gpowless

Yes I think this might be the problem... Some of the project I work on date back to AC15 / AC16...
Thanks for your assistance.
