I get this message when I open the program. I have disabled Autosave, rebooted, re-enabled it. Reset X9 with the shift key. My recent files list is empty, although the last image I was working on had 28 layers, each one involve a separate image added. I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall X9. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try turning on the autosave , working on a new image so that autosave is invoked and hope that a correct autosave will overwrite the damaged one. close program. Reopen and see if the message disappears and then turn off autosave.
Systems available Win7, Win 8.1,Win 10 Version 1607 Build 14393.2007 & version 20H2 Build 19042.867
I did that already, worked on the 28 layer image after resetting the Autosave. That was yesterday. Today I got the message again, and all the images I opened from the Manage tab, are not showing in my recent file list. I will try turning off autosave and working on a new image without it and then close and reopen the program.
Edit to add: I'm getting that message when I open X9 even with Autosave turned off. Where is this file saved?
You'll find where PSP saves those files under menu File\preferences\File locations... Undo/Temporary files.
For X7 under Windows 10, default:
drive:\Users\Your Name\Appdata\Local\Temp\Corel PaintShop Pro X7 Temp Files
In that folder PSP creates a subfolder like PSP12345_YourName, another PSPF123, and temporary save files go there.
Auto-save files are not normal image files as far as I can tell from a short test (I don't use the auto-save or -preserve facilities myself). With two open images and one edit each I got 4 xxxx.TMP files.
These files were erased by PSP when the workspace images were closed normally.
I found the folder, right where it was supposed to be. X9 had 562 zero byte files, and one file with a bunch of numbers and .autosave as the file extension. I renamed the folder, opened the program without the error message. Then I deleted all those files, so far so good. BTW, my older versions of PSP have no autosave file in their respective temp files folder.
