Hi, Annie. One thing you might consider, (I'm assuming that on your old
computer you saved your CV onto its hard drive) is to take your old computer to a computer store/person that/who knows how to retrieve data from a "toasted" computer, to see if they can read your old hard drive files and to see if they can "unlock" your CV file with your password. If you saved your CV onto a DVD or CD-R or CD-RW, then I'd take that to them too to see if they can read and unlock your CV. Good Luck Ricahrd "Annie" wrote in message news Can any one help please.

Hi Annie,
Topstudio's Easycrypto used the 'blowfish' encryption system. If you know the password of the encrypted file (be sure you use upper/lower case correctly) you should be able to open it without having a separate blowfish decryption software utility installed, but the MS Word encryption engine uses a different method. If you've copied the file to your hard drive then been able to decrypt it with the password try using File=Open in Word and the 'Recover Text...' file type to see if you get anything readable. The TopStudio website has closed down. I don't recall if they were bought out or just quit, but you may want to search for downloads for Blowfish decryption software. ===== "Annie" wrote in message news Can any one help please.

Hello Everyone, Sorry no replys, I have been away. You have all been so
helpful and I have tried everything that has been suggested, so I have to admit to defeat on this one. CyberCitizen - Thank you for your suggestion but the thought of sending such personal info to someone I dont know did worry me, so the only way out will be to dig out all my old p45's and p60's, as it is the dates, names etc and start all over again. BUT THIS TIME PRINT OFF A COPY FOR ME TO FILE. -- With Kind Regards & Best Wishes Apple Pie xx "CyberCitizen" wrote: Hello Annie, I Believe That I Can Help You With Your Problem.

Do you want acure for your files.What you done is what you must undo. You
smashed you comp with win98. Now borrow the loan of a comp with wins98 and problem solved. So eay. I had the same problem. I was going nut because I knew the program I used for decrypting was good. So you try that my friend. I certainly would not give my comp to any shark. We all know who the spies are. Hope this will help if the thread is not too late. I try to help people. url:http://www.ureader.com/msg/1011406.aspx |
