Is there a way to force maxwell to stop rendering?

I have this render that I did over a couple of days but now it doesn't come of it when I hit the stop button..
Also the temp file is corrupted..

sounds like the render have hung
if the temp mxi is broken then render have stucked during last autosave
try to print screen the image you see to save at least "something"

[Tok_Tok]

that would be the last option, but I have no choice

thanx anyway

instead of print-screen just look for the image maxwell last saved - not only the mxi but the ldr image

Good one, but I already rendered another image so that file is overwriten... too bad

I seem to have found te problem why maxwell stopped rendering after a certain time.
Windows 7 has it's power settings set to "turn the harddisk after 4 hours" or so. You will have to go to the advanced options
to change it. The weird thing is, is that the rest of the power settings is set NOT to Sleep..

So if anybody else has the same problem, this COULD be the solution.

I had similar problems , I configed the pc to never standby, hibernate or anything other than turn monitor off....

Also be careful about Windows updates that restart your computer.

who needs them, I canceled auto-updates ...
