Opening a dvd architect project on a new computer

I have a problem.
I have saved my dvd architect project on my ssd and I installed dvda on to my new computer and the build.
However when I try to open it won't open even after I manually search for the missing files and replaced the location. It gets to 82 % then freezes? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you

Might need a bit more information.

1) You say you installed DVD Architect on your new Windows 10 computer, right? So it's installed on your C drive and you can open a new, blank project with no problems. How large is your C drive?

2) It sounds like you're saying that your project file is on an SSD drive. Is this your second hard drive? How much space is on this hard drive?

Hi

Yes my new computer is Windows 10 pro. Dvd architect is installed on the c drive and the c drive is just under 2tb.

Yes the project is on my ssd and that has 600gb free space. So I don't understand.

Some older version of my project open fine but the most recent final version gets to 82% and freezes.

Sounds like a good thing to make sure of. Here's the location:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\VEGAS\DVD Architect\7.0

/themes and

/userthemes

Hope you backed those folders up or you may need to remake the menu theme. I am 99% sure the DVDA project save file does not include the theme pictures, but it may include some data about it.
