[Qgis-user] Unable to load project

[Springfield Harrison]

Hello Phil,

I would say less than 50 layers mostly shapefiles. I was hoping to be able
to tweak the project file but that appears to be out of the question except
possibly by a programmer.

Not sure what can be done next, waiting for expert ideas...
