It's hard to tell without any more info, but it sounds like one of your scripts might deleting one of the Rev components. I did this once accidently using the delete command when setting the default folder had failed (the folder didn't exist) so instead of deleting my temporary files, I deleted parts of the Revolution folder instead.
The only corruption of the program I have heard of is when revolution fails to complete it's startup, getting stuck at the splash screen where it says "Loading plugins". This is fixed by replacing the "Saves" folder inside the "Components" folder, but it sounds like you are getting beyond this stage.
I would check your scripts for any "delete" commands and check very carefully to make sure what you are deleting.
Good idea, Sarah.
There have been cases where unexpected behavior has occured when referring to stacks by number rather than by name. While numbers refer to specific windows (the equivalent of Rev "stacks") in a SuperCard file, in Revolution it's used very differently. I don't know if Stephen comes from a SuperCard background, but if so it might help explain what's going on.
For more information on the relationship between numeric stack references and the unexpected results that might superficially appear to be corruption, see:

Of course the best diagnosis can only come from seeing the script. Stephen, if the problem persists could I trouble you to post the portion of the code that's doing the deleting?
