opening .swar file

HI,

I am working with a Solidworks 2016 sp 5.0 and had a crash, it created a .swar  file but I can't open it and the auto recovery does not come up so is there something I am doing wrong, also after the fact I noticed the Auto-recover was on, but not the Backup under options, so I am guessing that I may be out of luck, but would like to know if there is something I can do with the .swar file on its own or not

Regards,

Jim
