[Dxbase] Bad File

When I got home from work, I noticed that we had a brief power outage.
DXB(2005) on my "Radio" computer asked me to "initialize" the file.  Did so
a few minutes ago and I am get a message saying --for example--

"KC1XX <K>> was not found in the DXCC Numeric Statistics Table. You should
correct this problem by fixing the QSO data or by updating the reference
database..."

There were a few instances of the QSOs (same prefixes) not showing on the
County Numeric Data bases.

I would not mind trying the first suggestion but I found that "many many
QSOs also are identified". As far as I could tell, it involves all the
KA,KB,KC,KD,KE...prefixes.

I have virtually the exact same version of DXB and files running on my other
computer on the same network. It would be a small matter to simply copy the
appropriate files over and replace the corrupted files. I have the Log file
as well, not completely backed up but only missing a small number of Qs.

My question is, is this a problem with a specific program file or is it a
problem with the main log file? In other words, which files should I
replace? The only difference between the two installations is the problem is
on a Windows 98 SE and my good files are on a Windows XP machine.

Thanks,
Bill, W5VX
