Default song won't play

I opened up a song I'd been working on. I hit spacebar to get it to play, nothing happens. The play and the stop button flash for a second and that's it. So frustrating.

Try deleting the PT prefs and databases.

Sometimes you can accidentally select a tiny region when you think you are dropping the cursor, so hit the ENTER key on the keyboard to return to zero. I have hit this one several times myself.

Ive had this happen and toggled the Playback Buffer, and it was fixed for a while. Prefs and Databases didn't help. ff
