Thank you for the reply with further details of your problem.
You say that you are using Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer. Is that correct?
When you get one of the "Where Is the file....?" message, within the dialog, do you go to the place where you know the file is? Are you picking
the file at that location that has the same name the the "Where is the file...?" message is asking for?
What happens...after you click on the file to select it at its location and then click on the Select of the dialog, is that when you are getting the
message about a damaged file? If so, what type of files are involved....video, audio, still....?
Do you know what triggered this problem? Were you moving, deleting, renaming files after the project save/close or are you having problems
with an external hard drive where you were keeping the files that you use in the project?
When you get that "Where is the file....?" message, there is a Skip All button. Click on that to get into the project. When you do, how many files are missing?
The missing files will all have colorful media offline displays. How many files survived?
