Help! Geeks to the rescue?
I lost a file I *really* don't want to recreate.
I am running Word 2003 under Vista. Yes, there are my first two problems right there.
Word crashed and DIDN'T give me a doc I was working on in autorecover. Or rather it did, but it was yesterday's version from when I created the file, not the fished version.
I was able to locate the .tmp file that I'm pretty sure from the timestamp and size MUST have at least some of the data in it, but I can't usefully open it.
Google has given me links to some very scary looking software that claims to fix this sort of thing but it all triggers my bullshit or trojan or spyware or rip-off alerts. Anyone know of any reputable way to do this?
Any ideas?
