Unrecognizable file format

[Jesse532]

Hello,

Hoping someone can help me out here.

Does anyone use Microsoft Project? I get this message when opening mpp extesion file "Project cannot recognize this file format. Do you want to open this file as text only?". But i need to open the file completely.
How to stop this annoying error?

I am running Windows 8.1
My Laptop is Lenovo IdeaPad Y700-15AC
Microsoft Office 2013

Your help/advice will be great appreciated.

Probably a corrupt file, does it have the appropriate file extension? Usually you'll get that if the file is unreadable.

Is it recovery tool?

Yes. Click on choose file. It should give you an option to download the repaired file. I've never used this service though.
