Hi there,

I'm currently using audacity 2.1.2 on Windows 10

I've tried to open my audacity project using the file>open command, to no avail... the program repeatedly prompts me to use the file>open command, which is what I'm doing. My other projects will open, no problem. This is what I have in my log:

14:43:33: File name is C:\Users\Lawrence\Music\raps\Ouija\9. Ouija Board (Prod. By CollegeBoii x The ScreamMaker).aup
14:43:33: Mime type is *
14:43:33: Opening with libsndfile
14:43:33: Opening with liboggvorbis
14:43:33: Opening with libflac
14:43:33: Opening with lof
14:43:33: Opening with libav
14:43:33: Error: Importer::Import: Opening failed.
14:45:39: File name is C:\Users\Lawrence\Music\raps\Ouija\9. Ouija Board (Prod. By CollegeBoii x The ScreamMaker).aup
14:45:39: Mime type is *
14:45:39: Opening with libsndfile
14:45:39: Opening with liboggvorbis
14:45:39: Opening with libflac
14:45:39: Opening with lof
14:45:39: Opening with libav
14:45:39: Error: Importer::Import: Opening failed.

I've been all over the internet looking for a solution and don't know where to go from here, could you please help me out?

What is the exact message?

The exact message is as follows '[file] is an audacity project file. Use 'file>open' command to open Audacity projects', thanks in advance

Does it actually say "'[file]" or does it say:
"C:\Users\Lawrence\Music\raps\Ouija\9. Ouija Board (Prod. By CollegeBoii x The ScreamMaker).aup is an audacity project file.
Use 'file>open' command to open Audacity projects."

and you are definitely using "File menu > Open" and not "File menu > Import" or "File menu > Recent" ?

Yes, without a doubt... I've used audacity in the past and familiar with it but this is the first time this has happened with a project

What's the file size of the AUP file?

The AUP file is 61kb

That sounds about right. Please attach it to your reply and I'll have a look to see if there's anything peculiar about it.
