File full of # characters

Post by Wesley1337 »

I've just had a file corrupt, and the program forgot who I am and claims the file is made by another user even though I am the only user of this PC. When I open the file, it just shows a bunch of # like characters

See this post by John_Ha for possible solutions. If your file is showing all XXX or ??? or similar it is damaged beyond repair, possibly due to over-hasty shutdown of your computer. Use the methods outlined by John_Ha as soon as possible.
