Project won't open...

Okay. I just solved this myself. But will leave question here as it might prove useful to someone else.

One of my main website projects won't open. Haven't worked on it recently (last summer was the last time). All other projects are opening fine. This one doesn't seem to open. And there are no pop-ups suggesting a problem. When I try to open the last backup file of the project the pop-up suggests there may be a problem with the 'zip' file.

When I go to the actual file and check the package contents everything seems to be there.

Any suggestions about what I might try? This is a rather big website. It would be a nightmare to rebuild. The last time I worked on it everything was working just fine, no issues. Never had a problem with that project before. Did not move any files around on the drive (it's on the laptop main drive).

A possibility ... I remember something like this happening once before. I use two external monitors when working normally (film editing). Today I'm on the road, no external monitors. I'm thinking maybe the 'project' is set to open on an external monitor ... and that's why I'm not seeing anything. I can't figure out if there is a way in-the-app to set the 'project' to show up on the main laptop monitor if somehow it has auto set itself to open on the external monitor.????

Yes!!! This was exactly the issue. All I had to do was click 'Window' > 'Bring All To Front' ... and the missing window showed up where it was supposed to, on the main laptop monitor.
