Error 100 when opening .vsd file

[oldcabins]

This morning the UPS on my computer died and a Visio drawing that was open at the time now seems to be corrupt. I've found information about this error, and have downloaded and installed a patch to resolve this issue. (q278261.exe

However, even after installing this patch on Visio 2000 SR-1 my file still will not open. I spent at least 8 hours on this drawing yesterday alone. I would be so appreciative if anyone has ideas or suggestions as to how I can salvage this file

Kind Regards
Bill

Unfortunately, the patch only prevents the corruption from occurring the
*next* time (your system crashes or the power goes out abruptly), it can't
correct the already corrupted file. Once the file is corrupted, it can't be
recovered.

Sorry to have to give you such bad news.
