10132 2001-03-17 09:48:00 This posting is linked to my problem with CD-R.

We've saved a number of files, created in Microsoft Home Publishing 2000 on a CD. This CD is now unreadable (unless someone here can help).

We've found M.H.Pub.2000 to be very unstable as it crashes regularly, forcing us to reboot the computer. This means that a lot of *.tmp files remain in the system.

Is there any way of reading these *.tmp files and maybe recovering at least part of the information that's been lost on the CD. I try opening the *.tmp files with - right click - 'Open', but it trys to open the file in MS Word, which results in a lot of heiroglyphics on screen.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

At the best all you will likely be able to recover is some plain text.
