hi all,
I am having a problem trying to open a CDR file that I think crashed. This is the second time it has happened with different files.
The file still shows up in my external drive but has an icon next to it which it did not have before.
When I click on it, it opens up in corel but as a blank page.
Can I some recover it?
Thanks...
I would be appreciated!
Recovering CorelDraw file with the help of WinZip
With 'Make Back-up on Save enabled, w'hen saving a file a second time, CorelDRAW will rename the original file to "Backup of filename.cdr". If you were to re-save the file again, because Windows will not allow two files with the same name, in the same location at the same time, CorelDRAW will save the file as a .tmp file. Once the save process is complete, the "Backup offilename.cdr" is deleted and the .tmp file is renamed to "Backup of filename.cdr". With this in mind, it may be possible to rename the .tmp file to .zip and then extract the data.
Alternative solutions/resourses which can give you more variants for restoring .cdr file....
