Project can not be saved - the project is corrupt

Hi,

I’m having an issue since 9.5… never had that on previews versions.
Not sure what is causing it, but here for example I’m opening a project, working fine.
Just wanting to backup (backup project) to start a different version.
It does all it needs (copying, removing files…etc) but can’t create the cpr file and say :
“project could not be saved because : the project is corrupt. No new project could be created”.
What is weird is because if I just open that project and want to save it before doing the backup, it works fine.

First time I saw that message was when I copied an audio event from a project to another (having the 2 projects loaded).
Then it wouldn’t let me save the project where I added the event, saying the same message.

There must be an issue somewhere. Didn’t loose anything so far, but it makes me worried it could happen in a middle of a session.
I’ll go crazy with saving new versions now

If you’re on a Windows machine, I would run CheckDisk to look for and correct/re-map bad sectors on your hard drive. That could be the cause of the corruption. It’s a good maintenance thing to do monthly anyway to keep this from happening in the future.
