I wanted to see what I thought the Select button would reveal as "choices". I didn't realize that the "Select" button would actually change my database, which it apparently did.

The following day, when I turned on the computer and went to the OOTP Main screen, I hit the "Continue" button for the current game and got the first of 4 error messages, but no game.

A warning to everyone: DON'T MESS THE THE SELECT BUTTON IN THE EXPERT SETTINGS SECTION OF PREFERENCES.

Still waiting for someone to pull me out of the abyss...........
Have you checked to see if your league file (x.lg) is still in the ..data\saved_games folder?

I suspect that it might be and that your only problem is that the game no longer points to that folder.

If that is the case then an easy fix may be made by editing one of the path files in the config folder.
