Visio 2003 crashes when trying to open a specific file

Hi,

I've worked with an ordinary Visio 2003 file for some time
now and today when I was going to save the file Visio
crashed and I lost the whole days work. I re-opened the
file, perfomed the work again and saved the file. Again,
Visio crashed and now I can't open the file at all.

I can still start Visio and work with other files but not
this specific one - the one that matters. I've used the
Detect and repair function, and tried to re-install the
latest update, update the OS (WinXP), defrag the HDDs,
searched for viruses, etc., but without any success.

I've also tried to copy the content of the file into a new
file, through the Insert - Object - From file function,
and to open the file itself as a copy, both unsuccessfully.

....numerous re-starts, so on and so forth.

The file has either, as far as I understand it, become
corrupt, or my installation of Visio 2003 is especially
unstable.

Has someone else encountered this problem and if so, how
did you get around it?

Best regards

JL
