Charts are not calling up my saved Chart books

I start my charts up and get an empty Chartbook. I have (had) saved Chartbook and a >>>.cbak.
The path has and is the same as it ever was. I downloaded the latest version #1188. When I put my thumbdrive in and open my saved chartbooks from there, its fine. So after doing that, I "SAVE AS" my existing chartbook that was suppose to open. At first it kept saying "cant find the file path to save". Then after several start/stops, I first saved the .cbak (that I open from my thumbdrive)to my harddrive, so you'd think it would have the transferred the "good" file saved, then I saved my open ".cbak chartbook "AS" the normal Chartbook I always open. It of course said there's an existing, and do I want to "overwrite it". I said yes because a proper one was open and labeled the same. When I close down and RE-started Sierra Charts, I get no charts again. Here's the log.

My C:>SierraChart>Data path, and the data files Im referring to are there and seem to have the same size (KB)that the good ones have, so it seems the data is there, its just not finding it. Yes I checked the path under Data Files Folder, and its correct (C:\SierraChart\Data\ )
What do you think is happening?
Thanks,
Todd

Did you notice this problem after updating Sierra Chart?

We need to get one of your Chartbooks so we can test it. Attach it by following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#AttachFile


The proper procedure to restore a Chartbook from a backup is to put a copy of it in:
C:\SierraChart\Data

There is also a new Backups folder which contains backup Chartbooks for the last seven days. Here are the instructions to use it:
