If it hasn't been too long then maybe you can do system restore on your computer and sometimes that'll work.

Incase you don't know how
1.) click START\ go to PROGRAMS\ ACCESSORIES \SYSTEM TOOLS\ SYSTEM RESTORE.
2.) select a restore date before your problem occurred.


I don't know if this will work or not but it's worth a try.
Peace

did you use outside samples(meaning did you bring insamples from your mpc) if this is the case then you need to bring them back into your computer. seems like the computer is lookin for the samples and there not there.

i 've had this happen but i use a floppy to import my samples so when the pc is searching i have to put the floppy back in so i can go back to my project,

and the thing is that once i put into the pc i erase it , so i can use the same disc to export it back to my mpc.
i've lost much projects this way.

good luck hope this can help you
peace

Thanks a-lot for the tips... but usualy i'm recording to Pro Tools and from there i'm taking it, really some times, to Wavelab... becouse its more easy to cut something, to add... by one word wave edit... and this time... was exacly this time when i did that in Wavelab... plus... the beat is not a problem... but the whole montage... that was hell... 3 days WITHOUT stops... one of my ever longest... damnich... i'm totaly in depression right now...

Thanks a-lot once more... good luck bro, all the best

i always save my projects self contained. with all seq and sounds labelled and in there own directories. i then back em up to dvd-r.
