Having a small problem...

[Guest]

I have a file of 800 Mb and no program could open it. I tried everything..
but no effect. The same problem with all of them... blocking and not
responding.
Someone please tell me what to do. I really need to read that file.

What kind of file is it?
If it's a Word document and you have Word 2002 or above, try File-->Open,
select the file, and from the dropdown on the Open button, choose Open and
Repair. NEVER let a file get that big. There's simply no need. There's
something very wrong with it. A file should never need to be more than 40MB
or so... I've never seen one bigger than that was legitimately that large
(didn't have other issues). See:

Are you sure it's not corrupt? That's a pretty hefty size for a Word file.
