<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Have you checked your .inp file?
If it still looks good you can likely recover your project by going to
file->open then change “<i>Files of type</i>” to inp files then
browse for your inp file. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>If you’re original .inp file
is no good but you have created parametric runs you still have a chance at
recovery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>If you have created parametric
runs for your project then you should have an .inp file that says <i>“Project
Name” - Baseline Design.inp</i> in your project directory. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Open that file and your project
should be recovered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Sequence of events…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Laptop was running eQUEST and had file open and was
operational. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I left the laptop unattended for a while and upon return it
asked to perform some Microsoft updates. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I said ‘OK’ and eQUEST closed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Computer restarted and performed updates (I’m assuming
as I wasn’t babysitting it through this process).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Upon return to the ‘updated’ computer I tried to
open the project file again and this error is what I see.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>After clicking ‘OK’ I find several similar error
messages each pertaining to one of my several building shells.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When the final message is clicked ‘OK’ eQUEST
sits there as if it has a file open but there is no data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am running version 3.63b.<o:p></o:p></p>
