Try this. Boot in SAFE MODE and open it with NOTEPAD.
What happens?
No mention of OS or what Antivirus/Anti-parasite regimen you follow makes me think your issues are just beginning.

I have a file that seems to have been corrupted (a valuable one, I have a week?s work in it) It was created on Wordperfect as a WPD file, and that is how it appears both in Windows and DOS, even with the correct file size. However, when I try to open it WP asks if I wish to convert it from Unicode.txt. Also, when I try to copy it in Windows I?m told Access Denied.
Is there any hope of recovering this data, even in asci?
Thanks so much if you can help.
