Loss of Form image in designer (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

Hello, folks. We have a question/problem. We have designed a form in our application that we have been using for weeks. The system began to act as though memory was being used up (slow recreation of windows etc after closing a window that was covering it) so we shut the system and did a scandisk etc on rebooting the system. We started up OI again and opened up the designer and our form. NOT THERE. But it is does exist: the designer window is empty, and we can view the window properties. We just can't see the form. If we run the application and open the form as a mdichild, the form appears in the frame and we are able to run the application normally. But we can not see the form in the designer.
Can we assume that the form is 'toast' and what we are looking at in the application is the compiled form? If we look at the form entity list, the form is still listed.
Anyone had something like this happen? We do have a recent backup of the form, but is there a way to salvage the current one?
Thanks.

John,
This occasionally happens when the Form Designer is closed while minimized I believe. All that really happened is that the X,Y position of your window got reset to a very large negative number. Hence, the window is beyond visible rnage. You can edit the source record using the System Editor and change those number back to 0,0.
