I recently had to get a new tower with a new Hard Drive. I installed the old drive as a secondary drive and used Recuva to recover the files in Outlook Express. I saved the recovered files in a new folder on the new drive. However, I cannot get the files to open in a legible manner. They carry a Recuva logo and open in WordPad showing squares and numbers!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is the same problem that I am having. I wish that they would give you a response.

Drkngl, have a look at this topic:
