Generic Error. The file could not be loaded.

Hello,

I'm currently working on a project for school. I saved a VI after a few modifications, closed the program, and now it can't open at all on my computer. Does anyone know if I can recover the file, or do I have to completely restart? Here's the VI if you can open it.

On rare occasions you may find auto-backups of your files in "My Documents\LabVIEW Data\LVAutoSave". 

I wouldn't count on it though, it's mostly for files that you have modified but not yet saved when you run a VI, so that on the occasion of a hard crash you can get your modifications back.

I couldn't find it in the LVAutoSave, but thank you for the help.

Hopefully you have a backup.  Hard lesson learned here: always have backups of your work.  Even better is to have your code in a Source Code Control (SCC) such as GIT, Mercurial, or SVN.  Personally, I am a fan of Tortoise SVN.
