hi. i have just started using adobe premiere elements and its totally awsome but the last time i tried to open one of my project files a message comes up saying 'The project appears to be damaged, it cannot ne opened'. Now i don't know what the hell happened but i really need that file so if anyone knows how to fix it please help! :cry:

It has probably corrupted in which case you are screwed - always make backuops of your project files. - If you look in my directories there are usually 20+ versions of a project all project, projectbackup2 projectbackup3 and so on.

Do you have Norton Utilities? If so, run Win Doctor and see if it fixes it. I have had this happen to me as well and I ran Win Doctor and it fixed it for me.

It is a very good idea making back-up copies like irishmark stated though.

Under the folder in which you saved your project, there should be a folder called 'Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save' containing automatic backups.

Also, I believe you can import one project into another. Worth a try. you might get something.
