Draydin_r -- If the above does not work or Juanjo can't find solution: lws files are just text files (readable by humans) and can be opened in a text editor. There have been a couple occasions where I could not open old scenes or they caused a crash every time - and I had very specific camera and light setups etc... What I did in all cases was make a clean scene, load all the objects and save it. Then open it and the problematic scene file in text editor (Notepad++ is my weapon of choice) and copy/paste the camera data and the object and light positions/transformations into new scene, saved it, opened in LW and finished setting up the scenes, and was good-to-go. This can certainly save the day, if you are truly in a pinch. It goes faster than it sounds and likely way faster than starting completely from scratch. And although a lot of stuff in scene files might be intimidating to non-programmers (I'm a JS programmer myself), you should be able to make sense of it after a couple minutes and find the stuff you need. Especially if you just need camera and a couple object positions etc.
Good luck bro!
