Recovering from a crash, temp files empty

[Darknezz]

I was recording audio, and my power failed. Hoping I could recover the recording as I had in the past, I went and followed the steps on the crash recovery wiki page, only to find out that when I loaded up Audacity 1.3, it wanted to recover it automatically. However, when it tries to do that, it gives me an error message, saying:

"Error: Not well formed (invalid token) at line 1251"

Clicking that away, I get an Audacity window that says (recovered) in the title bar, but there's the audio is not actually there, and there's no temp files in my temp folder for me to try to recover it manually. Closing Audacity after this and reopening it gives me the same thing, every time.

Is there any way to recover my audio, or is it lost and gone forever?

My best guess is that it's gone an lost forever.
Automatic crash recovery is pretty good in Audacity 1.3.12, but power failure can be devastating. If automatic crash recovery does not work, then recovery is probably not possible.

Well that's a shame. Thanks for the reply.
