content from pagefile.sys

I have lost much of my MSN logging but I can find bits of it in the
pagefile.sys. The "header" is clearly readable, but the content from the word
"Context:" is not readable - just a lot of rubbish. Is there a way to make it
readable? Here is an example of a bit of the rubbish:

Greetings,

This could've been a display picture, or other piece of binary data sent through Messenger or
maybe even some other random piece of data in the pagefile. I really don't think you're
going to be getting anything from it. Major props for trying though.

My suggestion for you is that in the future, you use Messenger Plus Live (www.msgplus.net)
which will save conversations as they happen instead of when you close the window. Then if
Windows crashes, the power fails or whatever, you still have your conversation saved.
