Easiest correction is to delete both modules from AHP. clear the interface, recreate the two modulles with the addresses they are supposed to have, including all timers, then re-save the file and download to the interface. A good idea, by the way, is to back up your .ahx files (found in C:\Program Files\Active Home Pro) whenever you make a change.  Windows is known for sometimes deleting a file by itself, even though that's not a regular thing.

Just as an added note to Dans post:
 Backing up ones AHX files is a good habit to get into before any update. Lots of screwy things can happen to your configuration files (I know first hand :'( ) and it can take weeks to find the prob.  ;)
