Can I recover appointments if mswkscal.wcd file is corrupt?

Posted: 29 Aug 2006 11:04 AM PDT

Hi Cindy,

I think that the msworkswkscal.wcd file is an Access database file. You may
try to rename the extension of a copy of your corrupted calendar (from wcd
to mdb).
Then you should be able to open it with Ms Acces or a compatible software.
(I cannot confirm that the data are easy to recover then)
(I'm surprised that you got a blank calendar after restoring your backup)

Regards.

Problems with Works Suite/Word

Posted: 25 Aug 2006 11:12 AM PDT

Hi,

If you could previously open Word okay and this problem recently occurred
then I would suspect a corrupt template (the screen which displays when
opening)

Perhaps Microsoft Word has a corrupt template (normal.dot).

Word will create a new template (normal.dot) if you delete or rename the
existing normal.dot to normal.old.

Assure Word is closed and Windows XP is set to view "hidden files and
folders".

Search for Normal.dot and rename it normal.old.

Typical location of normal.dot in Windows xp....
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates

Start Word a new template will be created.

Another thought: Some other program (application) may be interfering. To
eliminate other programs, Start the computer in Safe Mode, does Word open?

Re: Uninstall/Install, when uninstalling not all components are removed, if
the corruption is there, when reinstalling they may be reused. It is best
to use the cleanup utilities.

Follow the instruction in this link on how to use the cleanup utilities.

Yep. It's simpler to do it in stages for new users - then you can combine.

In List View, see if you have two records with apparantly no data, and

No, just save from MS Works in an MS Word format - or even WordPerfect 5.1
