dumb recovery for a scratch project
Hello, I am jake451998, I was working far into a scratch project when it crashed the VM, It said that the data would be stored in a folder or file called "Dump.dmp" But I can't find the folder or file on my hardrive, Probably I should try my D: hardrive, but in 2.0 you should add a recovery for that thing like in open office. Any other way I can recover the scratch project?
Thanks for your help

Are you using a mac? Because that same thing happened to me and I just searched for it in spotlight.

I'm using vista (that's probably why it crashed)

Dump.dmp is a file that stores why it crashed.
