Thanks for the added information Ed, kind of what I had thought but for
my own edification I needed to hear it from someone such as yourself.
Thanks again

Larry,
As I sit here thinking, I can't recall that there would be a
PROBLEM if you
leave the Force Download feature turned on. It's just a manual setting
for
getting you out of buggy situations which is possible for most
computerized
industries. ( I know some of the PC guys out there will say it's a
Microsoft Windows thing and not so common for other software platforms.
)
Any hoo, Something in the back of my mind says I do recall
hearing to set
it back to off when you are finished with it. But again, not
necessarily
because of PROBLEMS that would result.
Let's get technical for a moment... What is happening there is
when you
load a file to your machine, although pretty fast and among other things
that are happening, you might be able to see as the percentage bar
builds
across the screen -while the design is being sent to the machine, both
RSA
and CSA files are being sent as well. RSA files are for the Amaya and
CSA
files are for the PC. Both RSA and CSA files have version numbers.
Most
recent versions of these files are sent to the Amaya whenever you first
install the machine, upgrade software, change out the main board, or
turn on
the Force Download feature.
Normally, as you turn on the machine, the Amaya talks to the PC,
compares
version numbers and says "yeah, yeah, yeah, - I've got the same version
RSA
and CSA files I had the last time I was powered up". Hence, no reason
to
send over the same files. If the PC says "hey girl, I've got some new
file
versions over here...", then automatically they are sent over, updated,
and
stored on the main board for all future power ups.
Sometimes power glitches, software bugs, space invaders(games),
screen
savers, multi tasking, other networks tied into the Amaya PC, and the
list
goes on... all the while you are running the Amaya or simply have the
Amaya
turned on could cause the RSA or CSA files to become unhappy. Otherwise
known as "corrupted". By resending them or Force Downloading them, this
resets them and makes them happy again. (..Supposed to anyway.)
Now I remember!!! (This just in...) If you leave the Force
Download
feature on, it could have an effect (or possibly negate) the power save
rescue feature of the Amaya. What this means is if for any reason you
were
to lose power to the entire system, when you power back up, you should
be
able to pick up where you left off just like on the older machines built
prior to Amayas (i.e. EMT...). Once you power back up, and the Force
Download feature is left on, the RSA and CSA files would reset and then
you'd have to figure out for yourself where in world you left off at.
And
that's no fun.
So I guess you would turn this feature off for the same reasons
you would
turn the auto save feature on in Design Shop. As a preventive measure.
If
you haven't turned on the Auto Save feature in Design Shop yet, do it
now
and save yourself a headache later.
Good Luck.

Good evening Ed:
I just went through the same thing with a tech from Melco 2 weeks ago
for a problem that required a force download. He (the tech) told me to
leave it in the force download setting and not to set it back to the
default. My question is this having had no problems to date, have I set
myself up for a failure by not putting it back as found. I realize you
may not know this as a positive but I would greatly appreciate your
opinion.

First try a different design.
Same results? Try this.
With nothing on but the computer..
Open Amaya OS. Don't turn the machine on yet.
After it loads, click on the "tools" tab, then "options", then
"Ethernet".
Click on the "Force Download" box to turn it on.
Click okay,
Now turn on your machine.
Try a different design, preferrably on that you know worked before.
If this fixes your troubles, go back and turn that setting back off.
The
default for that feature is "off".
If you still have problems,
you may have to uninstall Amaya OS and then reinstall it.
Sounds like something in the program files got messed up.
Sometimes the "Force Download" will fix it and others reinstalling
software
will do it.
Let us know of your progress.

Whenever we go to load a design the machine instead of finding center
goes
all the way to the side and jams. Any ideas? We have tried re-starting
and
re-booting. Thanks for any advice, Mike & Bobbie
