URGENT: Damaged Project?

[thenewgirll]

Please help!

There was a momentary power outtage as I was editing my project. The power blinked off and on, and the project came back, and I saved it. But I returned to it the next day and Premiere would not open it, saying "The project appears to be damaged." The only way I can retrieve my project is by editing off the AutoSave files. AustoSave, however, only saves every hour, so I've been losing the last of my work each day.

Each time I work off an AutoSave file, rename it and save it, Premiere claims that it's damaged and will not open it the next day. Is the file really damaged, or is this boneheaded contraption just being fickle? Why is AutoSave able to save it, but I can't? And if the project IS damaged, how can I fix this? PLEASE HELP!

Many thanks in advance.

Before you go to the trouble of a full re-install, you might first try a new preferences file by starting Premiere with CTRL+SHIFT held down until the splash screen appears. You'll then need to reset your scratch disk and other preferences before starting editing again.
