Cannot open an illustrator file with a broken link

[colind36145276]

Hello,

I am working off a work dropbox and one of the team members re-named the folders, which broke all the links in my Illustrator files. For most of the files I can just re-link, but for one of them it crashes illustrator when I try to open it. It gets stuck on an "Inner Glow" filter while simultaneously giving a broken link error. I can't click anything including the "Stop" button, and have to ctrl-alt-del.

This file is pretty important - is there any way anyone can think of to open it?

This is what pops up when I open the file:

I can move the Inner Glow dialog but can't Stop it or do anything else:

Can you move the Illustrator file out of the DropBox folder to the desktop, create a new folder named Links next to this file and put the links in there. Then try opening the.ai file.
