Hmm, does anyone know how to repair a corrupted file? The file is a non system, non program file.

Unless there is some CRC or similar error checking I don't think it can be done. How would the comp know which bits are pooched if it doesn't have something to check against.

I'd love to be proven wrong though.

If that file were to be perhaps an mp3, one could use a program called UnCook. It doesn't work every time, but it's worked for me on the occassions I needed it to.


If it's a pron video, it's more fun to make your own

It depends a lot on what kind of file it is. There are certain applications that will repair specific file types. ie: office files, digital photos, video, rar, etc.

What kind of file is it?

The file format is *.max as in 3ds Max's file format.
