IMHO, this problem seems not related to MLO. Reason: MLO immediately saves any changes to the file and has the file not actively open, afaik. This could be related to a corruption within the file-system itself on Windows-Level, based on the uncontrolled shutdown. Did you run ever a "chkdsk <drive - like c:>" on your drive where you store your files of MLO? If not, i would strongly recommend to do so and see if there are even other errors. -a
