This is really getting scary...!

[cmpan1]

Ok ... this is the 2nd time this happened. Once with the downloaded ver. And now again with the CD ver.

All of a sudden... out of nowhere I cannot open up a site I'm working on. And I get these two errors.... the first one I get..... but the second one just bumps me out of the program.

I've spent over a month developing this site, now I think I've lost it all. And yes, of course I have backups... 2, as a matter of fact. And I get the same with them also.

Any advice would be so appreciated....

I've done a repair of Xtreme... I've done a reinstall.... nada!

Thanks
Cliff

Hi Cliff,

Yeh these can be annoying and frustrating - there's usually a good reason, though tracking it down can be difficult, especially since you can't open any of those files.

Try Xara's ExpandXar
Used to try and recover corrupted Xar files. Please view the readme.txt file for useage instructions.

If you have trouble - you're more than welcome to send me the file and I'll see what can be recovered.

For what it's worth Cliff, I was getting these error messages when building a site and in the end I did change the fonts to Verdana from the Impact bold and all was ok.

Thanks Sledger and sty........

Sledger your relaxed answer leads me to believe this can be fixed... I hope so... no.. I'm doin a little prayer here.

Anyway, I will give 'ExpandXar' a try and let you know.

thanks.

Sledger... there's no instructions on how to use 'ExpandXar'.

When I run it I just a flash of a cmd screen, and gone.

??

thanks

Syntax:

ExpandXar <input file> <output file>

<input file> file you are trying to recover
<output file> the file name you give the result

it will not run in windows itself, you need to run it in the command prompt window


you need to give full path names, so it is easier if the program and the input file are in the same folder, and you run it from there [in the command prompt]
