Unrecoverable Error...but you have recently saved

[d.stairmand]

I am getting this message sometimes when I crash R2011
It's my little pet hate - As although it says "don't worry you have recently saved" 9 times out of 10 I haven't saved for 15+ minutes & I loose all the work

Would be good if it just gave me the option always of Saving

Revit - Your just too dam smart for your own good!

for 15+ minutes & I loose all the work

so you are saying the WORSE thing that could happen is you
would lose 15 minutes of work?.. you must be on a very tight
schedule..

but about the crashing: i'm doing something wild and crazy
in revit morning noon and night- and Revit NEVER crashes
on me.. it has to do with how you manage your software-
almost never has to do with hardware..

Not sure what Logan means by "manage you software", but it's quite possible this could be hardware.
Dwane, are you by any chance running XP?
If you are crashing that often, my guess would be that you've got a model that's getting too large for your machine and you're running out of memory.
We had all kinds of crashes until we upgraded our machines to Windows 7-64 with 8 Gig of memory.

My Revit 2011 is crashing lately....and I get the same message, or I get the option to save one... and I am running Win 7 64bit with 8gb of ram..

Problem is it crashes some more during the save and I am out my attempted save file....which just happened 10 minutes ago... :banghead:

Mine won't always crash (unless I try real hard), but I get the "Revit has an error, would you like to save" and I just hit cancel. And keep going. I usually get that when I try to copy a group of elements which I've cut by a ref plane.
Then again with 18gb of ram and 8 cores to run with, it's kinda hard to crash it. Never runs out of resource.
Win7 with 6gb crashed a ton so we upped it to 8, still kept crashing. Then I asked my IT guy where all this ram suddenly came from. Turns out it was the same type, same mfr, different lot. Swapped it out for all new ram from the some box, same lot, ie matched sets. Solved the problem for the most part. But then I got the upgrade. I love upgrades.
