VI isn't a valid labview file

[woully]

Hello,

i had a computer crash yesterday evening during the development of a VI.

Now, i can't open the VI any more. Labview generates folllowing error :   

LabView : End of File (EOF) found. The file "ChangeDevice.vi" isn't a valid Labview File.

---------------------------------------------

The file seems to be corrupt. Somebody knows if i can recover the file ?

Thanks for help

Hello woully,

could you add the corrupt file, please?

Woully,

Sorry - I can't help you. But - I wanted to add that the same thing happened to me last month
when the computer hung when I turned a PXI chasis back on while the PC was running. I know
now that is not the right sequence. Anyway - my "myname.vi" VI continuously prompts me to
find "myname.vi" when I open it. I was lucky and had a backup copy from the day before,
so lost only one day's work.

I downloaded some file recovery utilities and went searching for left over file pieces - but found
none. This suggests to me that LabView overwrites the existing file rather than making a new
file then renaming the old - as I often do when developing robust file handling protocals.

I am using LV 7.1.1
