[amibroker] Re: Ongoing problem with black chart panes in saved Layouts. Help!

OK Tomasz, I screwed up big time. Learned my lesson. But meanwhile 
I'm screwed. This is the situation now:

I checked out any black panes referring to files that "do not
exist", traced their .afl file names and either moved these files 
back to their original locations or created dummy files under the 
same name. 

** I then removed ALL layout files (NOT folders) including the .awl 
files from the Layout subfolder in the database folder ** (did back'm 
up)

Re-opened AB to find the default Layout (MACD etc.) but a hopeless 
situation: 

Any, ANY chart pane applied, including Basic charts like Price, after 
closing and re-opening AB, turn up as black panes with (when 
Ctrl+E`d) this message (literally) :

File does not exist:
"

No more reference to any specific file but just one "-sign.  
Desperately out of options.

TJ, please hit me hard... and then help me out.
