The link does not work because it is a BMP image rather than a PNG, GIF or JPEG I guess.
Well, for your problem, what size is the file? If it is only few KB where it was several MB before, then the file is lost.
If it is still quite big then I guess it became corrupt, but I do not know what could produce that :/

Yeah it works again!

I'ved open the BAK file in AMC. all the files are in yet. Only the pictures are not there but that is simply to make new.

Then saved it to an AMC file en can open the file now!

Thx for your help
