Are you saying you booted to D: and edited the WPS INIs on C:? Generally,
that's not a good idea. It's too easy to corrupt the good INIs on D:.

Are you saying that when booted to the volume with the bad INIs, the WPS
did come up, but just very well?

If so, you might want to try a non-destructive makeini. That might be
sufficient to uncorrupt the handle table. It's unknown how much you will
lose as a result.
