Restoring file after abnormal termination

[Jon]

I seem to have learned the hard way that Visio 2000 has a
bug. I lost power to my computer while working on a Visio
file and now I cannot open the file. It's terrible,
because I didn't just lose the changes I made since last
saving -- I can't access the file, period.

Knowledge base article 264660 describes the problem I had
and lists this as the resolution:

RESOLUTION
The information and shapes in a damaged (corrupted)
drawing can seldom be recovered.

Can anyone help me try to have one of the "seldom"
recovered files?

Thanks!
J
