I have started working on a song and spent quite a bit of time on it so far.
I used three of my old Xpansion Tank 2.5.4 sample modules in the track which sound great but when I now try to reload the song X3 just sits there with the rotating circle cursor and never finishes loading.

All my other tracks load fine and even one that uses a single Xpansion tank module.
I plan to try Sampletank 3 64 bit using my existing sample modules now that it has been released but in the meantime I would at least like to be able to load the song so that I can remove the Xpansion plugins that seem to be causing the problems.
 
So is there any way to load the song and tell Sonar not to load the plugins?
 
Thanks

OK, to answer my own question. I did eventually find it in the X3 reference guide...Page 1373 File recovery mode.
Just hold the shift key down while opening the project.
