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!
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.
