I cannot open a file on maya but it seems to be working on another computer. I am using Maya 2019.2. Other files can open but not this particular file.

Try saving them as .ma.

If this doesn't work you can try export as FBX or any other format.

 

Switching between different Maya Versions during a project is not a good idea (exchanging models by using export and import should not be a problem).

The file is saved as an .ma, I do not get why this file will work on other computers but will not work on the one I am currently using.

Only possible option out of this is to either try exporting the specific scene/model in different formats , if that doesn't work there is no way around you have to use 2018 MAYA then

Hi!

Without any error message or the scene-file there is no way to check what's the problem.

 

However @Anonymous  has a good idea, to export your model and then re-import this.

I can suggest to delete all history you don't need anymore before you save a Maya file.
