SOLVED OneNote 2010 error message that file unreadable

[davyvannier]

All I get is the below error message after launching it: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

I was using the OneNote 2010 free edition on Windows 7 computer without any problems for months. Now, I dont know, why all of a sudden this application just doesnt want to open anymore?

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks for all!

1. Start-->Run, and type: onenote.exe /forcerepair "filepath" where filepath (in quotes!) is the full path to the file that is corrupted. You can get this path by hovering the mouse over the section tab in OneNote. It's probably something like, "C:\Documents and Settings\your-name\My Documents\OneNote Notebooks\notebook-name\section-name.one"
2. In OneNote, go to File-->Info-->Open Backups, and open the latest backup. If the file looks fine, you can drag it into your notebook and delete the corrupt file.
