recovered .XML config not loading

[THX-UltraII]

I had to do a full reinstallation of my system. Unfortunately I forgot to backup my .XML eventghost configution. My configuration took my days if not weeks to make.... I found a free tool called Recuva and I was able to recover my .XML from my formatted HDD. However, when I try to load my config it does not work.

Here is the log:

I also did attach my .XML config.

Looks corrupted. When you open it in notepad it's gobbledegook. Try another recovery program perhaps?

Agree, this is not a xml document

I tried 3 different recovery tools last night but all give the same result (the .xml I posted in this topic).

I think that somehow this .xml file is corrupted or something. Maybe it can be 'decoded' to it s original state? I think I need to ask on a 'PC help' community maybe.

Well, a xml file is a plain text file. Your file looks more like if you open and view an exe fil. Or an encrypted file
