You don't say which operating system you use, but one way to get corrupt files is if the write to disk never completes - say because a PC (without battery backup) is switched off rather than closed down, or if a removable storage medium is unplugged before the write process is complete - or, obviously, if you have a damaged disk. Sometimes the front end seems to get hung while performing dynamic operations, and I can imagine that saving your work in such a situation might cause problems. Do you have a specific scenario that provokes this problem - if you do, you might want to share the details here, and also inform Wolfram support. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
