My GFS data went missing on my 6 mo. old installation on a different computer I was using rather than my several year old original installation on another computer that’s also running WD to upload data to my web site. I fired up the old installation, and voila, GFS present and accounted for and a good forecast was created. Both installations have the 3/2013 versions of WXSIMATE and WXSIM2 while the old installation has the previous version of WRET, not the latest.
I tried changing WRET back to the prior version in my WXSIM installation, but the error messsage persisted. I ran chkdsk.exe on the hard drive, but no errors were found.

I suspect a corrupt file somewhere, but I’m not sure where to look since so many files are created/updated with each autorun.
