My friend, Stan, asked for help with FCE. I don't use it, but thought
someone here might be willing to help. Here are the emails he has sent
me.

'Would you like to be involved with the recovery of a few Final Cut
Express documents that I lost touch with after an AppZapp session? I
AppZapped 1.8.0 a corrupted Final Cut Express 2.0.3 app and reinstalled
FCE w/ updates on OS 10.4.11. Previous FCE projects still show as icons
and iDVD can still access project files but reinstalled FCE 2.0.3 can't
open the files, "Unable to read file. It appears to have been
corrupted."'

[Then I asked him if he could give more details.]

'FCE was opening to a black screen and I could only see FCE project
files briefly during a mouse click but could not select before screen
returned to black. Then I AppZapped FCE in preparation for the
reinstall to FE 2.0.3 and discovered that I could no longer open my
previous projects. FCE runs fine on new projects. It feels like I
AppZapped an address that referenced the projects. The capture,
scratch, rendered, sequence files are there but are not recognized as
the total project that it once was. Confusing enough? I've heard of
an incompatibility between OS 10.4.11, QuickTime 7.6.4 and FCE 2.0.3.
All of my previous FCE projects will not open, although I was only
working on one particular project at the time. I suspect that I misused
AppZapper in my haste and made much waste.'

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide Stan.
