Windows 98 Directory Problem?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I teach Mastercam at the NTMA in Ontario California. We have 20 Identical PC's running Mastercam in the upstairs lab. Windows 98 is the OS. We have the students create a folder in the MC8 folder to keep their own files in. On rare (though more frequently lately) occasions a folder will just propogate itself creating folders 100 or so layers deep. I have tried to reproduce it but to no avail. Any one else have this issue come up? My personal thoughts are the students are leaning on the keyboards or on the mice in just the right way. None of my customer's have called me about this either. I feel like a dork for calling CNC on this if it is OE (operator error) related.

Thanks for your input.

James: That same thing has happened to me, I thought the same thing, was maybe I leaned on the keyboard or something. I deleted all the folders (100's of them), and haven't had another problem.

:confused

This was a tough one to fix but we have corrected this for V8.1. It took us a while to reproduce the problem - it had to do with focus being on a directory while selecting files. If you inadvertantly dragged and dropped a directory onto itself, oops!!!

Thanks Pete. We'll be looking forward to V8.1
