Hi,

I was working on a project for weeks it worked well. Today I tried to open the same project it wouldn't. Vegas Pro 21 loaded as usual but will not open any of the projects I was working on. But it let me start a NEW Project normally. What happened? I've been using Vegas Pro 21 for many years without any significant problems.

Thank you

Were the projects saved using a later version of Vegas (22 or 23).
You could try 'restating' your PC and/or resetting Vegas 21. 'Reset all preferences and clear cached data":
