Error opening sequence

[DavidPeterson]

I had completed a sequence in LORI, but when I tried to open it yesterday, I am getting an error: An exception occurred! Type:UTFDataFormatException, Message:invalid byte 1(+_) of a 1-byte sequence. The +- is actually a symbol with the - right below the +. All my other LORI sequences open in II. Is there any way to fix this?

will it open in LOR1?

Are you sure you did not create in LORII and trying to open in LOR1?

The original sequence was actually one of the free TSO sequences that LOR offers, I just made modifications. This is my first year, so did it that way to make it easier on myself the first time. I have a version that I can use, just may not have all my edits. I'll try that once I get power at home, the remnants of Ike knocked out 90% of the power companys customers in Cincinnati so may not have power for a while.

Please send a copy of that sequence to support@Lightorama.com

Was there ever a resolution to this problem? I a getting the same error on a newly wiped and reinstalled system running the latest LOR and attempting to open sequences from many different sources, downloaded and personally created. I assume that my stripped-down system is missing some needed system file (like .net, or something similar) but I didn't see anything listed in the sw requirements. Perhaps a codec, since LOR also balks when I try to create a new sequence claiming the mp3s appear non-standard. The mp3s and sequences all work fine on my other install under VMWare on a Mac.
