Corrupt Lookout 6.1 file - and lks won't compile

I have a corrupt lookout 6.1 file - reports 'not a lookout process file' and when I go to recompile the lks the cbl is reporting an error and crashing.  Is there anything I can do. Any help would be appreciated.

Back from the dead.

 

Have had this happen more to me as well (granted on 5.1)

 

Lookout seems to write corrupted data to the process AND the lks file.

 

Memory error?

 

Example:  Yesterday, closed a clients process to compact databases.  While closing Lookout the process was being saved.  Next startup, invalid process file and corrupt lks.  Found 2 things in the lks:

1) Some object names were replaced with "INVALIDSIGNAL"

2) ASCII character 5 (not a displayable character) was in the middle of an expression

 

After fixing these errors, the process compiled.

 Any ideas?

 

Mike
