recovered .XML file seems corrupt or something

[THX-UltraII]

I use a program called 'Eventghost'. I always save my configuration in this program and the exported format is .XML. I formatted my HDD but forgot to backup my configuration file. I used the deep scan in the free edition of Recuva and was able to find my .xml file. However, the file seems corrupt or broken or something because 'Eventghost' won t open it. I included the file in this post. On the Evenghost forum they say that the file is not a .XML file and that it is gobbledegook but I am 100% sure this is the correct file. Can the 'corrupted' / 'broken' .XML file be fixed in some way?

Here is the link to the topic I posted on the official Eventghost community (you can also find the .xml file there):

That's not an XML file, not even close. Your recovery program restored something but certainly not an XML file.
