I was BS today up till a couple of hours ago without issue.  But now when I double click on a recipe and open it, all the information is saved and displays other than actual ingredient list window.  If I simply look at the recipe preview window, I show all the ingredients.  However when I open the recipe that window is blank.  What can I do to restore the window?  I tried closing down and restarting BS, now I'll try closing down and restarting my PC....
 
Restarting the PC didn't improve the situation.  Every recipe I open has a blank ingredients window.... Help!
 
I found this related article..

My question though is do I have to backup each recipe individually?  Or by highlighting 1 recipe in "my recipes" and doing the export feature (choosing "All Items in Current View") are all recipes in "my recipes" and "my brew log" backed up in 1 shot?  I don't want to uninstall and reinstall until I'm sure...  Thanks!
 
Hi,

  In most cases this is caused by a corrupt "newopts14.opts" file.

  By default BeerSmith is in the "C:\Program Files\BeerSmith" directory.

  However under Vista you may also have a "Compatibility files" directory that shows up on the toolbar when you go to the BeerSmith directory.  This is where your data and the opts file likely lives.  The full path to the compatibility diectory is:  C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\BeerSmith

  where {USERNAME} is your login name for Vista/Win 7.

  Note that on many systems this is a hidden/system directory which will not show up unless you go into the options for Windows file explorer and set it to show hidden/system files.

  If you delete the newopts14.opts directory there you should be in business.
