This might be related to my previous problem (X5 suddenly needing registration again) but I wne to open X5 as usual and it couldn't find my project (or any of the other ones).
I looked in the appropriate folder and it was totally EMPTY! What has happened? This has never occured before. I do have some backups, but they are not as up to date as they should be, so I am left with major changes needing to be made again. I am not happy.

And now my backup file refuses to load with "An error occurred...."
Wayne, I am a long time user of WX5 and have never lost a file. To delete a project takes a deliberate step. However, it is quite easy in windows explorer to misplace a file or who directory.
Have you tried searching (in windows explorer) your whole hard drive for *.iwprj or project.iwprj? If the folders have been moved you can move them back. If that fails, have you checked the recycle bin?

I have used this from Version 8 onwards and never had a problem either. I tried searching and found nothing! There are some old files from Version 11, but nothing from Version 12. I have not deleted them....I do have a NAS backup of my entire drive, done a few weeks back. Hopefully I can find them on there.

I found my NAS files but they are still pretty old. No sign of the other newer ones. Any suggestions, Incomedia?
Hello Wayne,
If there is no .IWPRJ file or you don't have an IWZIP file of the project then unfortunately there's no other way than to use the old ones you found.
Many thanks!
