2) Restore Automatically Backup

If it does not work, you can try to Restore the Automatically Backup files:

The automatic backup method in WinPIM is: If you did not disable the Automatic Backup option, WinPIM will backup the data files automatically to the 'bakcup' sub-folder of the user data folder. The automatic backup rule is: It only backup modified files, and it only backup one time each day. WinPIM keeps 2 recently backups, the latest named *.wpf.yqb1, and the other is *.wpf.yqb2. It will NOT backup if the files did not been modified since last backup. And it will NOT backup more than one time within one day.

You can set the automatic Backup Folder in WinPIM Options.

To restore the automatic backup, in backup folder, strip .yqb1 or .yqb2 and copy all the files to a WinPIM data folder and replace the original files.
