Updating Audacity and Error

Hello! And help!! I updated Audacity and now I am getting an error message that says when I try to open my previous recordings:

“This project was created with a newer version of Audacity. You will need to upgrade to open it.”

I’ve tried everything to figure out how to upgrade but I haven’t. I am fairly new to Audacity. I also cannot open any of my audacity files now and I am stuck.

Thanks in advance.

How about going to the Audacity website and download the newest version? Changing version during “production” is never a good idea.

Thanks. I tried this. Unfortunately my computer crashed so I had to start over.

With or without success? Maybe you can remember what version of Audacity you used to create your project. There is a link on the website which directs you to older version downloads. At least the same version should be able to open a project.

Fortunately my daughter loaned me her backup laptop which has Audacity on it. I was able to re-create most of my recordings and since we are snowed in for the foreseeable future I have plenty of time to meet my deadline on Friday.

I am meeting with one of the tech people online tomorrow from my voice over program, I’ll post what the results are in case anyone ever has this same problem.

Thank you so much for following up.
