Sudden bigbox error on startup?? :(

My bigbox has been working perfectly for quite some time.  I actually played it on Saturday morning, but in the afternoon I started to receive an error on startup (see picture for details).

I do not see an arcade.xml in my data folder.  I also looked at my backup folders and extracted one from a few days ago and no arcade.xml was in that folder either.   

Nothing changed so I'm at a bit of a loss for why it suddenly became an issue.

Any thoughts on how to fix?  Or do I need to start over?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nate, the Arcade.xml file is located under LaunchBox\Data\Platforms, and apparently it did get corrupted. Your best bet is probably to restore from a backup. You can restore using the Tools menu in LaunchBox, and you can pick from any of the backups in the LaunchBox\Backups folder.
