Have come across this problem a couple of times in the past.
For some reason, the program has loaded into memory but has not had the correct termination command and thus has not correctly saved the file, enabling you to see the file in memory.
THe only way around this is to use the "Init" function.
Goto "Edit" mode and select the "Init" function button, should be on the next screen.
You will be asked to confirm this by pressing either Y/N. press Y and all should be reset on the memory.
BE AWARE THAT DOING THIS WILL WIPE ANY PROGRAMS STORED IN MEMORY!
But from what you are saying, you have no programs stored in memory anyway.
Have a look in your program file and look for a % sign at the end of file.
On our OSP5020M machining centre we need a % sign at the end of file.
the first line of the file contains the on machine filename... as compared to the filename on the PC.
i.e.
$PROGRAM1.MIN%
N100 ...
N102 ETC
%
Hope this helps.
