The only problem with autosave or manual save... it only saves your project properties. NOT your actual pictures,audio, or video files. The items in your library are only thumbnails to links to the files. If you save and then delete or move your pictures, audio file, or video file, PD can no longer find them because they are not where they were they last time PD saw them..

Rule of thumb is save OFTEN, I have mine set to every 2 minutes and have had it that way for years...

NEVER delete any of your project materials, audio, video, pictures until you have made a GOOD rendered copy. Either saved to file, burned to DVD, or both. Because PD does not actually save them anywhere. The only exception is packing your project.

You did not say if it tried to load your project but got the dreaded cannot find file error. As in cannot find your "stuff". Your options would be ignore or browse. If you only moved your files, use the browse to go find them if you know where they are. If you deleted them... they are gone PD does not have then stashed anywhere... Unless you pack your project...

The way I do projects... EVERYTHING goes into ONE folder with sub folders..... that way I know where it is. I also pack my project which puts everything used to far, only items that had been placed in the timeline. Items still in the library do not get packed, only what you have actually used so far. You can make your saved folder to one of your choice, you can put your packed project in the folder of your choice. I also pack my project each day when I am done with it for the day... I have projects that take up to 3 months to produce... Sometimes I will "pack" every hour or so when I have 1 1/2 hours of project on the timeline... Both will save your bacon more times than you can think of. Even once after you lost a months of work is worth it.... I have lost a months worth of work before... it will never happen again... Pack is in the export button under file...

DREADED cant find file notice...

Thanks for your help on saving my Projects. I was able to recover my lost or deleted PDS file by using the AutoSave files which I located by placing AutoSave in "Search programs and files" in the start menu.
