Not a valid project? HELP!

I'm using DVD Architect Studio 5 on Windows 8. I've spent hours on a project, and I'm on a tight deadline. My computer randomly crashed as I was putting the finishing touches. Luckily, I had recently saved the project. However, when I tried to open the project again, I got an error message saying "The file (then it listed the file location) is not a valid project." I tried opening the project by clicking on it with the program closed, but the issue persisted no matter what I did. Other projects open fine.

I perused the forum, but the few references I could find to similar issues did not help me. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance.

Have you run Malware Bytes on your computer? Something is corrupting something and, in my experience, it's not likely DVDA Studio.

Meantime, which operating system are you using? What processor do you have with how much RAM? How much free space is on your hard drive?
