Get that file backed up, and then you can try it while it's behaving itself.Well, that's the mystery of intermittent failure. As was suggested, perhaps the hard drive is failing. You might not be able to do anything that will help.You mentioned that it's one year old. How literal is that? If it's less than 12 months old, you can still buy AppleCare for another two years of free repairs. If it's just a little over 12 months old, you might try that anyway and see if you can persuade someone to sell it to you. Be nice. It might work. If not, you might need to have it looked at and decide if the cost is worth it to you.Good luck! ...and let us know how it goes.</blockquote>
