Re: Help
Can you please be more specific? What kind of things are in your project? Have you added any new blocks or used any blocks usually not available in Scratch? That may be your issue!
Back. For now. Maybe.

Re: Help
Unfortunately, it sounds like the project file may have been corrupted. This can be caused by closing a project whilst it's saving (You'll know when a project has saved when the outline of a box moves across the screen). If this is the case.. Their won't be a way to get the project back I'm afraid. If you have another or older version of it saved somewhere, you might be able to continue from their though.

That happened to me in BYOB. I didn't have a backup copy. And it was big.
