File name to long error

Hi
I am having a real problem... I am using AC 10. After a system crash I restored my files and since then I have received this error message every time a library file is accessed.

This is the message I am getting.
" The file or folder name is too long.
msa_cmustd.sash_8x8x16 top(1)/gsm"

the first line is the same
the second line is for the name of the library items from archicad.

Hope someone out there can help!!

If that message repeats itself for every library item, you're in trouble. Your restore didn't work as it should. Most library objects have a .gsm extension to their file names, seems the dot's been exchanged to a slash?

I would try to re-install Archicad with its libraries from the original CDs,and then download and apply the appropriate hotfixes. And pray that I've got a good backup for the office's own library parts.
