unable to open projects created with dp4.2 in 4.6?

i have a bunch of projects i've created since starting with dp 2.7 when it first came out, but after the last time i backed up my system (moved my projects folder to my windows box because i was reformatting my g5 and un-raiding it to run my 2 hard drives as 2 seperate hard drives) and then when i unraided/reformatted/reinstalled os 10.4/reinstalled dp4.5 (now upgraded to 4.6 but it was happening with 4.5 too) and moved the projects back to the g5 from the windows box, dp won't recognize any of the projects, they're just blank documents.

any ideas on how i may rectify this?

here's a guess - moving the projects to a Windows box was not a good idea - lost something in the 'translation' (not what you wanted to happen, but Windows does not treat files like Mac...

I've had a number of downloads on my PC go south when importing to my Mac, have to go back with the Mac and dl direct.

Don't know why this happens, but contact MOTU, someone probably has had this issue before, and may be able to help, otherwise you may be SOL, sorry...
