When that happens I open an already existing project and then click on save as and title it New or whatever you want.
I called the EQ co and the guy I talked to said it is because EQ5 is 10 yrs old and it was made to be compatible with the old systems and the newer systems don't interface with it so well. So in his words you will find errors when trying to use it on a newer system. He said if you can find a way around it then that is what you should do. So the way I do it is the way around that error message.
Open your EQ5 click on open existing project.
Then after you open a project just go up to file and find save as and give it a new name and save it.
If that doesn't work then you will have to upgrade to 6 or 7.
