I am having some trouble opening my .blend files. Some of them are fine and some say that their size is 0kb. Some of them show their actual size, but they still won't open. I have them stored on a flash drive which I know is not the problem because I can open all other kinds of files no problem. I am using the latest version of Blender. Will reinstalling blender work? I have Blender highly customized and it will take a while to get it back to how I want it, so I want to make absolutely certain that reinstalling it will work.

- Blender does not require any installation, therefore you can run tests without installing/reinstalling anything. Every version will simply create preferences folders in C:\Users\mon PC\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender the first time it is launched.
- If you do reinstall / or use a fresh unzip of the program / or run a new version : you can transfer over all your settings in one step by copying over the contents of said preference folders.
These might help you track your problem more easily.
