Hi :) 1st thing is to copy the file that appears to be corrupted. 2nd is to find the "User Profile" and inside it the "back-up" folder and copy the relevant file that is hopefully in there too.
Preferably put those copies on Usb-stick or email them to yourselves so that you have a copy that hasn't been worked on yet. So any advice from anyone can be safely tried without further harming the one version of the files.
