[Maya] Can't open a file. Maya closes after loading the scene. SOLVED, THANK YOU

AnastasSh

Hi everyone! I'm doing a car for my school project and after finishing wheels I saved the file. Everything was fine, but when I tried  to open the file again- maya crashed. I have an error with startup camera, but the file opened correctly every time before even with this error. I don't know what happened. I found where maya saves crash files and tried to open any of them- and still maya closes after loading it. No fatal errors or anything. Does anyone know what can be a reason  and how to fix it? I don't want to lose my work. Here is a screenshot of the last thing I see before maya closes.

Here is the file if you need it http://www.mediafire.com/download/ap2vijvg4rxleqt/car.ma
I would appreciate any advice because I don't want to start over

I can open your file just fine.

You mentioned this is for a school project. Do you know if your version of Maya is different for the version used on school computers? Maya has version issues, but this can be solved with a preference known as Ignore Version seen here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Maya/files/GUID-8E332DD5-879C-4AFD-8C6C-7C403FEF310F-htm.html
Other then that, I would attempt an Import of your object into a fresh file. Hope this helped!

I'm so glad it can be opened! I'm not sure but I think we have a different version at school. Also I checked Preferences and Ignore Version preference is already applied. I would be very grateful if you could save it as a fresh file!

Oh, it still crashes for some reason. Damn. The problem might be in my program. All other files I have open normally, but the original file and the one you sent me still crash maya

Try importing the .mb or .ma file into a fresh scene rather than opening it outright.

Thank you for advice, but it doesn't work. Maya closes after file loading reaches 100%

I took the liberty to export your car into an OBJ in the hopes that importing that would do the trick.
