I am using Windows 98, but it is not connected to the Internet. My files in Quickbook Pro starting 1/1/09 up to present were lost. I used the restoration system, but I did not used back up since I don't have any. I decided to start it in new company, and every files was successfully exported, but sad to note that upon opening the files, I can't open it, and it said “C;QbooksSWPre.Qbw” is not QuickBooks data file or it is damaged(-5). I've tried it over and over again, but still it doesn't work. Please, help me to fix this problem. Thank you so much.
