After making the appropriate backups, try
viewing the form as a text file (use convert.exe
in the Bin folder). You might spot the problem
and be able to manually fix it - of course you
have to turn the text file back into a .dfm to
find out.

If it doesn't work, at the very least you can use
the text file as a description of the form if you
need to recreate it.
