my mistake,
The Profile.xml (Note capital P) file is in
C:/Work/Personal/OSCAR/Profile/<UserName>/Profile.xml
The Preferences.xml file looks good. That's a good sign.
Can you also copy that file to my dropbox.
Thanks

I uploaded one of the old profile.xml files that OSCAR doesn't think is a profile.

There are several issues that triggered this problem.
However there is a solution and you can recovered your old data.

1) Oscar code, since day one, has treat an empty user-name in the xml as not a profile.
2) Some how, the Profile.xml file that you sent had an empty username.

This implies that Oscar has a problem in that an empty user name was stored in Profile.xml file.
but that does not solve the issue that your having.
However, if the user name has junk characters. The profile is considered valid. and would open.
The user would then have to select the user and the problem is corrected.

so in the meantime, here is what you can do to get your old data back.
in file: C:/Work/Personal/OSCAR (CPAP Data)/Profiles/Joe/Profile.xml

change
<UserName type="QString"></UserName>
to
<UserName type="QString">Joe</UserName>
