Project is Corrupt from the Desktop

[BradKirschVO]

When opening an Audiobook file that I am working on from my Desktop, I get this error message with this code which I chose to send in an Error Report. Is There any chance that this file is not lost forever?

Thanks

There any chance that this file is not lost forever?

Yes. In most cases you can recover it completely. See: Corrupt or Otherwise Broken Audacity Project Recovery

Thank you for the Info. I will let you know how it works

Do you have this for MAC OS?

No. You are going to have to ask a friend with a Windows computer who is willing to help.
