Sorry for any confusion. yes, I could have said Audacity is working, that was never the problem. I just can’t open one specific file. yes, I have tried Menu, File, Open. That was what I did earl on. The file does not open. I get the error message about Audacity not being able to import an AUP3 file. But yes, I tried this right away and it didn’t work. and clicking Open With and choosing Audacity does not work either. Same error message.
OK, looks like file is corrupt and if it is as small as you say it is there is nothing to recover. From file explorer right click the file and check properties and see the filesize there, also its hardly blocked, did it come from another computer.?? There is a Unblock box in file properties if it is blocked, just click the box to unblock.
This below is a link to audacity project tools for your info, but you would need to be a programmer…??

Sorry I am not able to help, but maybe someone with knowledge of these thing will come online.
Are you trying to open a file from a new Audacity version with an old version of Audacity?
I am using the most recent Audacity version and the music file was created with this version.
