Vegas deleted a .veg file I need ASAP! Help!

[Jason K]

I was editing a .veg project when it crashed and deleted itself (?!?). I've tried Recuva and Pareto Logic Data Recovery. Neither worked.

I need this .veg project back urgently, so please respond ASAP! I'll even Paypal $5 to the first person to resolve my problem (not much but it's something for your quick reply).

Yikes!

Ah, nevermind. Found it as a .veg.bak file. God bless this technology!

No $5 for you, but if you're reading this because you have the same problem: find xxx.veg.bak and open that file with Vegas (xxx being the original project name).

Make sure you have auto backup enabled (it is at default), though, or those .bak files won't be created.
