Maya takes 30 MINUTES to save a small file!

[labruja]

Here's the problem: Maya on my computer spends 20 minutes or more saving a 56kb file, and I don't know why - I have a dual processor, 1 gig of memory, and a 400 gig harddrive, so it shouldn't be a matter of resources; but Maya just goes into "not responding" mode for a LONG time every time I try to save a file (no matter how small it is). Does anybody know why that might be happening??
Thanks!!

describe whats in the file! Sounds like maya is waiting for some arbitraty data and then finaly giving up on timeout.

There are few referenced models in that file (the original referenced files are around 50 mb)

I think maybe u can save ur file as a .ma file and notice if there r some iffy/redundant connections btw lightLinker1 and hyperGraphLayout.msg. if so , delete them and re-save. i have met such problem before. hope this can help u.
