I've also experienced this message regularly, always when working from my main C drive and I've never been able to work out a pattern for why or when it occurs. Come to think of it I haven't seen it for a while now.
To get around it I exit Storyline, copy and rename the file and then it opens without a problem.
Hi, David -- Thanks so much for your question and I'm really sorry to hear of your troubles! There is a chance it could be corrupt beyond recovery. However, there may still be a working version of your project in your temp files. Here's how to check:
1) Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
2) Scan the contents of this folder for a file that starts with the name of your project. If you find one, copy it to your desktop. If you find more than one, copy the latest version to your desktop.
3) Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the answer. I could hug you right now. That was several day's worth of work.
Thank you!!

I keep getting this error message for all of my articulate files. What can I do?

David,
are your files stored locally on your PC? so you're not trying to access from a network, USB or external drive.
Also, check that it isn't opened in another instance.
I have had this message if I am uploading to dropbox and the stream gets interrupted.

4) Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
I'd also recommend, in order to avoid corruption in the future, please see this article: Follow These Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Corrupting or Losing Project Files.
Please let us know if you are all set or still need more help! :)
