Seems like a bug in the wallet...  

I've got things moving in the right direction; I opened the wallet so I could access the dmd ion in bottom right corner, clicked on icon in bottom right to "open" the miner (although the gui was not visible, but the dmd icon was shown on the task bar).  
I then hovered mouse over, the small preview window came up, and I right clicked on it.  I had already tried restore, so I tried maximize and it popped up.  
However, I can now only view gui in full screen.  I had to move my dmd files back around to get the correct ones in place because I had been trying different back ups and was losing my mind thinking I was going to lose more dmd...
I thought I was good late last night as it was syncing AND I could see it!  
I was ecstatic this morning, as my most recent (last crash) disappearance of dmd was back!  (Although says my entire balance is Immature)  It was stuck on 3 weeks behind and I thought that was odd because it had never taken that long to sync.  

As of now, at night, it is still stuck on three weeks behind.  I tried to restart, rescan, and recover transactions 2, but no luck.  Files are not in typical AppData folder.  Additional help would be much appreciated!
