  Hi,

  We have a problem that Project Professional crashes when users try to save a project. The save job gets stuck in the server queue with the status "Getting queued". The save job does NOT continue when Project Professional starts up again. THe project is still in the cache, but the project cannot be checked in because there is already a save job in the queue.

  Cancelling the save job or force checking in the project lead to the cache getting corrupted. The only thing we can do then is to remove the cache and the users will lose all their changes.

  We have checked the server Sharepoint and windows event logs and the client windows event log and have not found any error messages.

  We're running Project Professional 2010, EPM 2010, Sql Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 64 bit. We're running Project Professional on a Citrix server.

  We have activated monitoring counters on the client citrix machine to see if we have a resource problem (memory, hard drive space,...). Does anybody have experience with this kind of issue? What else can we investigate? Is there anything we can try so that users will not lose all their data when this happens?

  Thanks,

  Quint Mouthaan
