Now THAT'S creepy.

Just last night I had a major problem and had to rebuild several partition directories and each time DW finished it quit when the window came up to save the report. I had to restart the app each time and it really drove me nuts and I couldn't save the reports.

Have now renamed the conflicting file and will see what happens next time I use DW.

Thanks kelly!

FWIW:

I have been using the following technique for over 6 months (on 6 different volumes on 2 different machines), always with no problems.

In my emails with Alsoft, they remained steadfast that the genesis of the problem lies with QT.

1. Quit DiskWarrior 3.x
2. Control click on DiskWarrior 3.x and from the contextual menu select "Show Package Contents"
3. Locate the "Complete.aiff" sound file - the path is: - DiskWarrior 3.x app -> Contents -> Resources -> Complete.aiff
4. Rename the "Complete.aiff" sound file "Alert Complete.aiff" - then close ALL windows"

And joy again returned to Camelot.

I thiiink I posted this problem several months ago, but don't recall it generated any responses.

This is good news, now.

Not from me because I hadn't used DW in a while and hadn't encounterd the problem. But coincidence entered and it suddenly became important to me.

Harv, I did rename the file and tonight used DW on my Dad's eMac (by booting from the FW external backup) and it didn't crash.
