Look for backup files in the autoback directory. They are in wierd formats.

Also, try merging or X-refing the files.

Yeah, your files are corrupted.

Did you download any Windows patches or updates recently?

All you have to do to restore a backup gmax file is to simply Open the .gx or .bak file from the 'autoback' folder under Gmax, you don't need to do anything special like merge or x-ref. Just keep opening the backup files until you find the most recent and functional one.
