i had been sketching in paint stop and suddenly some thing happened [ some thing like inactivate the tabs and buttons] so more safe i saved the documents…when i open it again all gone :(…now it’s a 6 mb file but before saving it was a 12 mb file 
plezz help me to recover my file and again continue sketching…thanx
Hmm, I have to say it doesn’t sound good but if you can send the file to me I’ll take a look. I’ll PM you with the address.
thanx marcus…i sent it too you 
i’ve had a few small problems myself where i thought i lost my work, but was lucky to find that somehow a copy ended up in the ZBrush3\ZStartup\ZPlugs\PaintStopData31\Docs
folder so you might want to give that a look and see.
ohhhhh i checked but dude it contains only a blank text document
Take note of the ‘Revert’ option in the PaintStop Edit menu. This is useful for getting back to a previous stage of your painting if an operation leads to an unexpected result.
ohh thanx dude it’s a good tip …by the way i think we can’t recover that file …i’ll sketch it again
