Default Magic ID does not match
I have a problem opening a file. The last time I shut down Pro-Tools 9 I saved my file and all was well. I then went to You Tube, had a slight issue and what I perceived at the time as a minor crash, came back into the system, booted Pro-Tools 9 (all updated and working perfectly), tried to re-open the last file and was met with HORROR OF HORRORS this:

"Magic ID does not match"

Is the file corrupt? Is it retrievable? Gulp.

Win 7 64 bit, Intel Quad 3.00GHz, 8Gb RAM, Readyboost is in use also

I think your file is now corrupt.
I had this message once and could not recover

Create a new session and try to import everything from the old.

Yep, this situation is one from the EPIC FAIL category.

Do you have Time Machine running in the background?
