If you need more information, you can email the Sanction Support team at: casemap.support@lexisnexis.com, or call 800.833.3346 (option 3). The Sanction Support team is available between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00.
When you open your case file, Sanction creates a backup of it so that if your case file is accidentally deleted or becomes corrupt, you can continue working on the case by using the backup copy. Note that only the case file itself is backed up in this way; exhibit files, transcripts, and media elements of the case are not backed up. The backup case file is saved alongside the case file in the same folder. The backup copy is named the same as the case file, but with the hour, minute, and second of the last backup, formatted as .HHMMSS, appended to the case name. For example, a case named Hawkins V Anstar.lns3 might have a backup file named Hawkins V Anstar.123400.lns3.

For example, if your case name is MyCase.lns3 rename it to MyCase_OLD.lns3.
For example, if the backup case name is MyCase14567.lns3 rename it to MyCase.lns3.

Symptom After importing a media file, when you try to open it in the media player, an error message box opens saying it cannot play the file. Cause A codec may be missing that allows your computer to play the media file. Background A codec is a small program that allows your computer to play a specific type of media file. Your computer needs a different codec for each type of media file you want to play. When you attempt to open a media item in Sanction, playback will fail if the codec required to play that type of file is not installed. More Information Codec support for the media player in Sanction is provided by the Microsoft Windows Media Player 12. The range of codecs installed with Windows Media Player 12 is extensive and allows playback of the most commonly used media file types and subtypes. For more information on working with codecs with Windows Media Player 12, especially with determining which codecs are installed on your computer and how to add new ones, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, Basics about videos and video codecs in Windows Media Player on the Microsoft support website. |
