    I was on a trip and a family member triggered my Bold's secure wipe (wrong password 10 times). I had made a back-up just before the trip and it contains very critical information. When I try to do a restore with Desktop Manager (4.7.0.32, same version as used to make the backup), it crashes as soon as I select the backup file. I tried opening the .ipd backup file from Advanced instead, with the handset disconnected, with the same crash result: "An unhandled win32 exception has occured in DesktopMgr.exe [4340]." where the number in the brackets is different every time.

    Please help me, I will likely lose my job if I cannot restore the information from this backup!

    Same thing after reinstall... I even tried 4.6 instead, and again the same thing.

    I'll gladly pay if someone can help

    Are you on vista? 32 or 64 bit? If vista try running as admin? Have you rebooted the computer?

    There are a number of utility programs that may help.

    Free download ABC Amber BlackBerry Editor, edit contacts in IPD files

    This is a free editor for .ipd files. It will allow you to open, view and edit your contact information. There could be a bad record that is causing Restore to choke.
