Retrieving knackered files from floppys/memory keys
Help please!
Not interesting reading i'm sure but would be delighted if ye could help me out.
After years of problems with floppys, finally got a memory key there about a forthnight ago.
Put everything from college on it.
Now, just tried to open files and this message came up.
"The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open.
Click Ok and then close open dialog boxes to continue."
I don't know what a dialog box is. All i have open is Internet Explorer, the memory key window and the MSWord that i'm trying to open.
After i click ok another 'cannot open' comes up.
And then says "file is locked for editing by 'another user'."
And gives the options to open it as read-only, create a local copy and merge changes later or to receive notification when original copy is available.
When i click any of these it says,
"Word experienced an error trying to open the file
Try these suggestions
*Check the file permissions for the document or drive.(???)
*Make sure there is sufficient free memory (There is!!)
*Open the file with the text recovery convertor (can't find that)
What to do?
