Please give a little history.   (I don't know if it matters, but which version of Zorin are you using?)
Are you saying that you have previously opened this same file with the same 5.0.0 that you are now using?  If that is the case, then perhaps the file has been damaged.  Do you have any backups?
Have you just upgraded from a prior version (either of Zorin or of KMM?)  If so, what version?  For it to have not actually upgraded from that old data format, but actually read it seems unlikely unless it was an extremely old version.
Note that the currently released version of KMM is 5.1.3, so 5.0.0 is considered extremely old, and no longer directly supported, other than helping you get your data successfully open in a recent version.

Hi Jack, Thanks for helping,

I'm using Zorin Lite 32bit (is an old netbook ,compaq mini CQ-10), and i've just opened the file with the same SO an the same KMM. One thing i've just remembered is that i've used the pendrive where the file is on a windows PC, before KMM came up with that warning. I will try to install a   newer version of the SO on 64bit PC with the newer virsion of the KMM. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Paulo Fonseca

If there are still problems when updating the file to version 5.1.3, please reopen the ticket with the relevant information.
