I have had a similar problem with my Elite. I discovered that the problem
in my files was in the header. When I saved my files I got an error
message saying the there was a problem saving the file for some reason I
can not remember. The FCS file format only allows for a certain size
file. I ran my files through an FCS file reading program we created and it
determined that the data area was invalid (It has been a while but I think
that is because there are not enough digits in the header space to allow
for a very large data area. What I now do is pregate the data using
the listgate feature (under the options screen on the cytometer - useful if
you are gating out non-indo loaded cells if you are running an indo
experiment). This doesn't really help with the files you have already saved
though.
