Corel Application Recovery HELP

[OneUpTenn]

I was doing a very large file in Corel when the Application Recovery Wizard shut it down. It said it saved my files but I cant find them anywhere. Has this happened to anyone before and do you know the default folder in which these files might be found?

different for different operating systems, but you may try C:\Windows\Temp\Cor.cdr (or) C:\Users\blahblahblah\AppData\Local\Temp\Cor.cdr

when you reopen corel it should find the autobackup automatically...

No luck...thanks but they may be history! UGH!

This happens with large files if im on my laptop, which is Vista OS, if im on my PC with XP, it never happens, Im always unsure if its the lower memory in the laptop or if its a Vista thing? It ussualy pops up if I reopen Corel, not always.

do a full hard drive search for .cdr...maybe you'll run across something?

also try a search of .bak files.....corel uses those as backups...worth a shot before you start over!!

 

[OneUpTenn]

I am going to try everything you guys mention.....dangit...i forgot to save it....my own stinking fault. I will let you know for future reference.

in corel there is a option under SAVING........you can set it to save at 5 min or whatever you want. it will back up that file, every 5 min. now the recovery thing.......is seperate of that.

Okay I searched everything on all 3 hard drives....no .bak file, .no .cdr file (for that file) and and I even tried using todays date to search. NO luck.

Thanks Op, I am going to do that now! And a friendly reminder

SAVE YOUR WORK!!!

Saving is a good idea. The application recovery has never worked for me.

this is from corel help:

Corel Application Recovery Manager
Corel Application Recovery Manager (C.A.R.M.) is an online wizard that allows you to save your work and exit in case the application becomes unstable. You can also send an online report to Corel that documents the nature of the problem and the events that led to it.

The C.A.R.M. wizard opens automatically at program failure and then offers three courses of action:

• saving the drawing and closing the application

• exiting the application without saving the drawing

• continue working

With the last option, there is no guarantee that you can recover any work in your drawing after the last time you saved or kept the program open.

After you have made your selection, you can report the details of the problem to Corel with an attached program log. Your report will be vital part of Corel's product improvement efforts.

You can disable C.A.R.M., but doing so can result in your losing any work since the last time you saved.

Lost & Found


It's happened to me too. I found every one as shown above.

when you reopen corel it should find the autobackup automatically...

On the odd occasion it hasn't backed up, so I now save my file every 5 minutes or so, that way I don't lose too much. It's a very memory hungry program, try not to have anything else running in the background.
