I suspect the file was too large. &nbsp;I just found a hdmp (and mdmp) file in the windows\temp directory that was created at the time of the crash. &nbsp;This file is about 2x the normal working file size. &nbsp;If there are any suggestions working off of the hdmp or mdmp files please let me know. &nbsp;I appreciate your comments Robert...and any additional help anyone could give. &nbsp;I have had success with recovery in the past, but can't remember what utilities I used. &nbsp;Thanks again!

Hello. &nbsp;I have a piece of propriety software that crashed earlier today. &nbsp;The file that was being worked on was gone when we got back into the software--after restart. &nbsp;Any suggestions on recovering this file? &nbsp;The software is a report writing software with an integrated database. We are running XP on a custom box.<br />

Thanks

Software Crashed and File Disappeared

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
