That may not be too bad then, though there may be some (up to 9) short sections missing.

Do you have the Unicode version of Audacity installed now? If so, then:

Try opening the project and when that error appears, select the 2nd option "Treat missing audio as silence (this session only)".
When the project has opened, save the project using "File menu > Save Project As..."
Then save the project with a new name.

Check the project carefully to find if any parts are missing. Hopefully if there are some bits missing they will not be important parts, it will probably not be possible to recover them (though if it is really important, we could try, but not tonight because it is late here).
9/10 questions are answered in the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

I opened it as 'Treat missing audio as silence (this session only)'
But it shorted the tracks from the end.
I think that best is if I can record it again, will check it tomorrow.
Either way, thanks a lot!!
