That's a bummer. Are you sure? I find it hard to believe that all 800 are corrupt unless the computer they were generated on had a virus or the hard drive was failing in the area(s) where the CPH files were stored. If you sort the CPH files by date, then try to open some of the older ones vs. some newer ones then can you get any of them open?

Just a thought,
Harry

Hi

my project for tomorrow is to collect the "dead hard Drive" from the client, hang it on my test PC and to take it from there.

I agree with you seems fairly remote but .....

Ian,

Tried to open with my version - Corel Print House 2000 (which I believe is Print House 5) but although the files show as a thumbnail in the "open file" dialogue, I am getting an error - "Unexpected File Format" and a crash (probably the same as you are). I believe that rather than being corrupt these files have been created on a newer version of the programme.

Let us know if you manage to open them.

Hi

thanks for that I'll see if I can track down a later version of corel print house.

Watch this space

cheers

Hi

jusy found this via google.

Having tried renaming the files to .tif and failed to open them I'm off to search for printhouse v6 working on the principle that if v5 fails then 6 should work


cheers

Ian


"In earlier versions of Corel, CPT files are TIF files with the CPT
extension and supported in ThumbsPlus. In Corel 7 and later, CPT files
are another proprietary format that can only be supported through
Corel's OLE server.

[steve.ledger]

.cpt is a Corel PHOTO-PAINT bitmap file, so yes TIFF would have been a likely format then.

However, your files are .cph type, which are not bitmaps, so renaming them to .tif will have no effect.
