Hi,
      I have mozill version 0.2 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20050203 Mozilla Sunbird/0.2).
      Yesterday, my laptop crashed and restarted by itself(I dont know why). I
had my calendar open when it crashed. After it boots up, I was not able to see
any of my events in the calender-it looks blank. Even if I type something
new(either task or event) it is not showing up. I restarted the computer,
restarted the calendar, no improvements. Is there any way to get my tasks/events
back?

Thanks!!!

Reproducible: Always

Your calendar file was likely truncated, resulting in an invalid .ics file. 
Something similar happens in bug 257175.  See especially the 5th comment there.
 You should open the .ics file in question in text editor and fix the truncation.

There definitely should be.  Sunbird stores all of its data in .ics files. 
These can be found in your profile folder. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile#Sunbird

A typical Windows XP 'Find' search will not reveal them, because the
'Application Data' folder is hidden by default.

Found the .ics file.  Removed unwanted stuff and inserted END:VCALENDAR. 
Now it works fine:)  I got all my events back.

Thanks

Sorry to be picky, but we don't mark bugs fixed unless they are solved by a
change in a particular area of the codebase.  The truncation issue has been
mostly fixed on trunk builds.  Therefore, this should be WORKSFORME.
