Lost Work

Has anybody had this happen to them and if so is there a solution.
Xara photo & graphic designer 7 on Xp.

And it wouldn't let me load one up from Backup just kept saying "Failed to read XAR file(Failed to read record 4625 65535). Lost a few Hours Work.

You might try the Expand.xar utility, which you can download from this page: http://xaraxone.com/html/shareware.html.

You'll need to scroll down a ways. Perhaps the utility will help you recover your work.

BTW, the XaraXone is an excellent resource (thanks to the inimitable Gary Priester).

Yes tried it with no success.
It's just Happend again but i've managed to copy everything to xara photo & graphic desiger 6 and saved it.
looks like i'll be using version 6 for a while moving backwards what a shame!
Auto backups just poped up again saying it can not save it, Looks like i'll have to swirch 7 off.

a thought - you may [and it is only a may] have a problem on your hard drive where ver 7 is making the backups - worth doing a disc check ...

Thanks alot for your suggestion
But I've found out what was causing the problem.
I've attached xara file explaining what went wrong.
Blend Test 1.xar

ok good - is this just a version 7 problem?

EDit - re-reading your posts I think it is - so I'll move the thread to Dear Xara forum to bring it to their attention
