Hello, thanks for all of the input. To answer some common suggestions:
1. No, the files were not write-protected nor read-only
2. Yes, we were able to create new files, open, edit, and save them, but they in
turn would occasionally become corrupt themselves 3. To clarify the problem, the
errors we were having were in conjunction with a repeat until big block, with a
rotation sensor range as the condition. The error was further confusing to us
because in some corrupt programs, only a single block would be un-editable, the
rest being fine, while in others, the entire program would be un-editable. Being
un-editable for us meant that we could go through the repeat until settings to
the rot sensor range, but when we tried to change the values, we were not able
to close the window by clicking Done, or hitting Enter. In the fully corrupted
files, when we tried to move stacks around, we could detach them from a stack,
but could not reattach them elsewhere, or even to the originating stack. 4. In
regards to copying the files, or saving them under different names, we were able
to do this, but it did not do anything to solve the problem. 5. Inside the
repeat command, we had a motor control block, using motors A and C, driving them
for .1 second. This was done for accuracy, and did not seem to be affecting the
program. 6. This problem is not computer-specific, and seems to be directly (and
solely) related to the use of a rot sensor range in a repeat until command to
control motors. I have written other programs on my own computer for different
uses (namely a robotic sailcar) which have had similar problems. Re-installing
the RIS 2.0 software does nothing for the problem.
Thank you all again for the input, and any further would be appreciated. If
desired, I can supply copies of the affected programs for inspection.

| I know this is a bit late, but we hit major RIS problems the first year we did FLL. We switched to ROBOLAB. No regrets!!!! Even kids who were reluctant to change are sold on ROBOLAB. No comparison. You'll save yourself a lot of time and frustration. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) There is a bug that we have dealt with that sounds similar--if a time for a Big Block is set below 0.1, so that all that displays onscreen is 0.0 in a block, it sometimes causes the program to become corrupt. You then can't edit it or do (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
