Can't preview layer after crashing

[thetricktoellie]

Hi, my laptop crashed suddenly and so Illustrator recovered the document I was working on, however every time I try to change the visibility on one of the layers it defaults to outline mode and 'cant finish previewing'

The only paths that I can preview are these three if the other paths aren't visible:

Any ideas on how to fix this please? I have tried Cmd+Y and no use.

How much RAM do you have?

Is this file special? Like huge filsize? Lot of transparency, anything that could cause Illustrator to not like it?

@thetricktoellie, in addition to what @Monika Gause mentioned, try duplicating the file and saving as a different file name. Or, if it lets you select everything, try copying and pasting the layers into a new document.
