CorelDraw image opening problem

[kennyrobbins]

I like to use CorelDraw X5 almost every day. But yesterday was bad day for me. I tried to open .cdr file and I couldn't by the reason of - Error reading a bitmap in the file Arch32.cdr. This message I got without any reason. I've seen it first time during my experience with CorelDraw.

- rename the file to ".zip "

- open the zip-file with Winzip or WinRar (these programs has a repair-function for zip)

- try to repair the file

- then extract the riffdata.cdr from content-folder of zip-file and open this file in CorelDRAW

These steps work for me.
