I suspect that the AUP file may be corrupt. If you could attach the AUP file to your reply we can take a look and check. See here for how to attach a file to your forum post: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936

An Audacity Project Manager, AUP file, is a text file and will open in a text editor. Open yours in your editor (don't save anything) and see if it's healthy.

I expect it to look something like this. This is a cleaned up version of a real project.



If it's blank, or contains nothing but lines of NUL NUL NUL...., then you have a damaged project. Let us know which way it goes, and what kind of project it was. If it was a raw, first-pass, mono performance, there might be a way to rescue it.

If the error message says "Error Importing" then you are trying to import the file using File > Import > Audio.

Try File > Open instead.

I've been informed that the error message you received ("Error Importing") can also occur when opening a damaged Audacity project (AUP) file. Take a look inside the AUP file as Koz suggests.
