Problem Saving To Zip In Fruityloops

Right, I have no idea why this happens, but sometimes when I go to save, the zip doesn't save and i don't see the save progress bar, I can save as everything else tho so my work isn't lost, just pisses me right off coz i keep my samples organised in different parts of the HDD which means the flp wont seek them. any ideas ?

oh yea, its 3.56 and i use XP

mmm, hav used 3.56 on XP for much time and it never happened.
U should check for:

- corrupted files, reistall fruity and your zip-codecs
- do usual HD checking stuff, like defrag and scandisk (with a full surface exam)
- your windows may be overloaded with memory resident programs that aways mess things up when they are many. Get a registry cleaning program.

Other than that, no ideias...

As far as the samples, why dont u add your samples folders on the browser? Theres no limit on the number of additional folders u can add.

I dunno if this will help, but the reason I myself couldn't use fruitzips for such a long time was that I had more than 1 sample with the same name... Like I'd use 2 different kicks, but each of them would have the name "kick.wav"... In that case fruity didn't like them and I'd never even get my Zip started.... Once I renamed the offending duplicate to kick#2.wav or something it starteed working.

it only seems to do it at times, my new tune doesn't do it at all, but the previous one did, no sample names are the same, i reakon it's a bug or summat.
