Cant open project now

Well yesterday it worked fine and i have saved it and reopened but when i opened up my computer and tryed to open the project file it just errors and says unexpected file format.


Can some1 plz help me :?

Program: Rpg Maker Xp ( Pokemon Essentails )
 
Is this a demo you downloaded that you are trying to open? If so you need the exact version. I.e. the legal 1.02e version to open 1.02e projects.

Are you using "Postality Knights" edition (i.e. a crack)? If so you will be unable to open projects made in 1.02 (and to be honest my suggestion to you is either buy the program or get a better crack).

The unexpected file format error typically means that one or more of your data files has been corrupted :(
If that's true, then there is no change of saving the corrupt files. (I do hope you have backups)

Changes are that not all data files have been corrupted.
I would suggest that you make a new project and then copy 1 file at a time from the data folder of your corrupted project to the new one and then run the project.
That way you can find which files are corrupted.
