Hi

Open MEP 2015 and then do a program reset File, Settings, Reset program settings to default - note this will lose any customisation of the settings you have made.

The project file is likely to be corrupt so select File, Load backup project and browse to the folder where the project is - there should be some backup files as shown in the example below, with names which include the name of the project and BAK .

Note: if the files are not there they may be in the folder 1 level up from the project folder - if not use Windows Explorer,  searching for  *.MV_

Try loading the latest one by date/time - MEP creates a rotating set of 10 backup files

At most you should have lost the last 10 minutes editing if you have the default backup time set in the programs settings.

If the last backup is no good work your way through them in reverse order of date/time.

Once you have a good file loaded save the project immediately with a new name.
