It depends of the type of crash you are experiencing. If somethings goes
wrong with XSI's scene structure or internal calls, it usually
recognises a problem and writes the .cop file before doing a controlled
exit. In case the crash is OS or hardware related, XSI simply vanishes
(as any other program would do under these circumstances) and can't
write a .cop.
Sometimes we also find .scn files in the project's system/CrashBackup
folder. I personally never understood under which circumstances XSI
writes a .cop or that CrashBackup/.scn, we simply check for both files
if we're looking for a crash file.
Good luck!

Ok another thing - I have been looking at the Certified hardware page
on www.softimage.com and have found that the Dell precision 670 Quadro
FX3400 is not listed - the 670 is listed with the FX440 or FX1400 -
might this be a problem - in fact the Quadro FX 3400 is not listed at
all for XSI 6.0 or even 5 for that matter - only in the XSI 4.2 section!
Does this mean that it is no longer supported, or are we running such
old hardware (scarey thought), but in todays terms I guess pretty
believable!!
Although under the certified graphics cards section the FX3400 does
appear!!
Anyone??? Anyone from Softimage care to comment, as the more I think
about it - the fact that XSI 5.11 is super happy here, and XSI 6.01 is
not, it makes be believe that the Software is more the one with it's
hand up, saying 'pick me...pick me...PICK ME!'
Also another interesting thing - Andre - when it crashes, it is not
even saving a CrashLoad.cop, or not one I can find - even did a search
of our whole project system..... and then when reloading XSI it says
previously crashed....do you want to load save file....etc.....!!
Thanks

Regarding the crash save, it works, but it will always fail loading
at program startup, where XSI asks if it should load the crashsave file.
Instead, fire up your XSI, deny to load the crashsave and manually
rename the CrashLoad.cop in the project's system folder to *.scn and
load it manually.
