Hi Izette. I'm so sorry you're feeling desperate. Just to confirm, you checked out these steps already:
- Open this folder in Windows Explorer: %appdata%\Articulate\Storyline
- 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.
- Change the file extension of the copy on your desktop from *.tmp to *.story.
- Double-click the file to open it in Storyline.
I would also recommend making a copy of the file and renaming it in File Explorer; then try to open the copy. And try Phil's suggestion to import the slides into a new project.
Fingers crossed for you!

I have renamed and copied - no luck.
I have now made peace with it and will start all over.
Thank you !
