"Spurious internal error has occurred." in Xara Xtreme 2.0f

Thanks, but I already tried the expandXar - without success.

Live Effects and Brushes can corrupt documents. Newer releases of Xtreme support Live Effects/Brushes, but older ones don't - so when you have a faulty document sometimes opening it with an older version of Xtreme will strip out the fault and leave you with the rest. You also sometimes get further if you *import* a file rather than *open* it.

Obviously I don't know what is missing because the file is corrupt and it won't open, but attached is what is visible from your document when opened in Xara X¹ (Xtreme 2.0's predecessor).

Rescued or not, take the gentle hint from the Gods and invest in some automatic backup software

Daniel that is very clever using an older version to strip out a Live Effects error.

Curious about the word 'SPURIOUS' I googled 'define: spurious'

Definitions of Spurious on the Web:

specious: plausible but false; "a specious claim"; "spurious inferences"
bastardly: born out of wedlock; "the dominions of both rulers passed away to their spurious or doubtful offspring"- E.A.Freeman
inauthentic: intended to deceive; "a spurious work of art"

Spurious signals are any outputs in the spectrum of a source (VCO) that are neither part of the carrier, not its harmonic and they may be discreet or bands of frequencies. Modco VCO'S do not contain any spurious outputs.

A false piece made to deceive, often an original creation rather than a copy of a known item. Not genuine. Counterfeit. False.

this word is applied to the anterior feet of some of the Lepidoptera, in which these members are destitute of nails, and not suitable for walking.

Make of it what you will - I guess

VCO... Voltage controlled Oscillator. There is no pure DC, thus you can't have a VCO without some level of garbage... ie spurious outputs. Advertising BS.
