This morning (half an hour ago) I turned my computer on, waiting to see iSiloX start working right away (as it does every Monday morning). But it didn't.

So I opened iSiloX manually. Its window appeared, but not "maximized", as it was the last time (every time, actually) I used it... something was wrong, I could tell. The name of my WCC was in the title bar, but I could not see anything, it was only a series of blank rows.

I right-clicked every row, only to find out that they were actually empty (I was hoping it was only a malfunction of the display, white fonts or something, what do I know?). I copied my WCC file to other folders. I closed and reopened the file, as well as iSiloX. No use.
I can open other .ixl files, they work fine... but my WCC is gone.

I made a couple of searches in the forums, but apparently this hasn't occurred to anyone else.
Can someone tell me how to recover my file? Could it be stored somewhere else?
Is this common?

In any case, backup your .ixl files, buddies. Spare yourselves the pain and sorrow of seeing your WCC disappear.
