Smart Proxy deletes proxy file on sleep

[MaxVal]

Greetings...

Mediastudio 5 pro ultimate
Win7 64
AMD 960T on six cores
Asus M5A78L M LX +
8 GB
HD 3000 integrated graphics
OS is installed on a 128 MB SSD
Project target file is on a 500GB WD Blue.

I have ripped a Blue Ray DVD as an .m2t, at an average bit rate of about 18.5 Mb/sec, with a resulting file size of over 16GB. Needles to say this file bogs the machine when not running the proxy. When I finish a session and close the program, the proxy file is gone the next time I open the project. The same thing happens when the machine goes to sleep with the project open. I have to either slog through working directly on the project without the proxy while it slowly rebuilds, or wait a couple of hours for the rebuild to complete.

Any way to stop the file from being deleted? I went to power options and selected never, but the next day it was gone again.
Another help would be to increase the speed of the proxy creation, as it only uses about 20% of the CPU. Better to get it done faster... I have tried raising the priority of the process to high with little if any change.

I have exactly the same problem using Videostudio X4 which I have raised before in these forums.

Like you, my program files and operating system are on a different drive from my project and proxy files. When starting up Videostudio finds the project files, audio files, video files etc, but not the proxy files.

I tried using the same hard drive for all the files on a small test project and this worked OK so the problem does seem to be related to having the video, audio and proxy files on an external hard drive.
