    It's unlikely reinstalling will help -- but it sure won't hurt.

    If you can't open the project file because it is corrupted, it might be worth trying to open one of your most recent Auto-Saves.

    So, any chance reinstalling will help? Your thoughts?

    What exactly are you doing when this message appears?

    Which version of the program are you using on what operating system?

    Are you trying to open the project in the same version of the program in which it was created?

    I have a feeling that it got corrupted when I updated my Operating system. That's what an Adobe rep thinks. Anyone know how to go back to my old version? And will that restore my file?
