Hi. Running Audacity 1.3.7 Unicode, on Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I was recording some audio when the power went out for a split second, but long enough for the computer to shut off. Lost about 20 minutes of audio. There was only one track for the project.
When I launched Audacity, it display's the Automatic Crash Recovery box, with the project "New Project - 2010-04-27 16-06-41 N-3", but when I try to recover, it says, "Error opening project" "Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1011."
I navigated to where the project file is located and it's called "New Project - 2010-04-27 16-06-41 N-3.autosave", but there are no .aup or .au files. I tried searching my entire computer but can't find any other .aup or .au files. Any ideas?

Re: problems recovering after power outage
Here's what we know about crash recovery http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/CrashRecovery
Personally, if automatic crash recovery does not work I give up on it and start again (or hopefully have a backup I can return to).
