EMERGENCY

Tonight i was working on my mod and i got up to do something else. I returned an hour later, and the "save" button didnt do anything. My GECK is buggier than an abandoned bread factory so i thought id just do the small amount of work i did over again, but when i loaded my mod up a second time, ALL the changes from the plugin were gone. Every singloe one. I checked the details menu AND opened the .esp up as a notepad file and both confirmed that all of my changes had been wiped. I loaded up a backup, written earlier before any save whacks could have screwed over my current project, and the same thing happened. I can only assume the GECK is erasing any changes to active files as soon as i load them.

#EDIT# Confirmed. Loaded up a mod i haven't worked on for months and hasn't been exposed to my manipulation since then, and all of it's edits and details are gone too.

The .ESP file is exactly.. 1 kilobyte. 41,035 down.

I only have one backup left. This problem HAS to be fixed before i load it or months of work will be gone for the second time. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on?
