Happy Saturday! It’s my pleasure to introduce to those of you who haven’t met, “File Repair”.

We’ve all had souring experiences with file corruption due to unexpected power failure, network interruption, virus infection, network sharing and application errors. This utility fixes them all.

It will fix the following types of errors: ‘file is not in a recognizable format’, ‘unable to read file’, ‘file cannot be accessed’, ‘application cannot open the type of file represented by filename’, ‘out of memory errors’, or ‘low system resources errors’.

Types of files it can repair:

“corrupted Word documents (.doc, .docx, .docm, .rtf)
corrupted Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xla, .xlsx)
corrupted Zip or RAR archives (.zip, .rar)
corrupted videos (.avi, .mp4, .mov, .flv, .wmv, .asf, .mpg)
corrupted JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PNG or RAW images (.jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .tiff, .bmp, .png)
corrupted PDF documents (.pdf)
corrupted Access databases (.mdb, .mde, .accdb, .accde)
corrupted PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pps, .pptx)
corrupted music (.mp3, .wav)” – File Repair Website

This is pretty good, especially for free.

Doc - this would be a life saver even if they charged for it! I cannot tell you the number of times I had to extract raw data out of a corrupt file for a teacher! ( I would write a simple program that would just read the data and strip the headers).

Great find! Now I can retire!

Well, just when I thought I'd heard them all, leave it to the Capt'n to come up with a new one.

I could have said "as useless as a lawn mower to a pirate", I guess.

Or I could have said "useless as crotchless knickers to Ron Jeremy."

"Or a peek-a-boo bra to Bill Clinton"??? But then again... Hilary mightn't mind him role playing and playing 'dress ups'

I installed Everything and let me tell you. After the install when it runs for the first time.Wow! In less than tenseconds it found stuff on my HD that I didn't even know was there. For example. A folder in syswow marked widows old dated 2009. I didn't even have my laptop then. I only got it last year.
