Problem opening a company file in Accounting Express 2007

I had to reinstall my computer's OS (Vista-ULT-32 from Vista-ULT-64) because
of problems. I have reinstalled Accounting Express 2007 and I cannot open my
company file. I searched the discussion groups and saw that the file is
associated with the computer name. I right-clicked the company file and
opened it with wordpad. I saw what my previous computer name was and changed
it back to match. The file still didn't open. Then I changed the entry in the
company file to match my new computer name, still didnt work.
I also saw that there are tools to use to recover a company file. When I try
the data tools-Recover File option, my company file doesn't appear in the
list, just the sample companies.
I thought that I was being careful in keeping my company file safe. Is their
any way to open this company file?

HELP!

Thanks,
Tom
