Swype dictionary keeps getting deleted Every few weeks, when I go to type something, I find that the Swype dictionary has been deleted (or at least can't be accessed) for no apparent reason.  This kills the 2 benefits of Swype: typing without lifting your finger, and predictive word completion (and correction).  Without these 2 features, Swype becomes much harder to use, and I find I'm better off with the standard keyboard.

So the question is, why is this happening, and is it possible to fix without re-installing Swype?  (I've been able to fix this in the past by re-installing Swype, but that's a pain in the butt.)
So I was facing the same issue as well, and after getting no help from internet and forums, I contacted swype, here is the reply I received from them. I have not tried it yet, but I expect it to work.

  This is, unfortunately, a known issue
  with the beta on some devices; it is
  particularly prevalent on the HTC
  Incredible, and occurs specifically
  after a reboot of the device (though
  it can, in rare occasions, occur at
  other times).  The issue is related to
  a feature of some phones known as
  “fastboot” which is designed to bring
  the system into a usable state faster
  by delaying the start of some system
  functions until after the system has
  been made ready for user interaction. 
  In our case, the ESN variable (a
  hardware identifier tied to the
  telephony radio) is not loaded into
  memory until after Swype has already
  started loading.  This value is needed
  to verify Swype’s license, and so
  Swype’s licensing mechanism fails.
  The workaround for this issue is to
  switch the input method off of Swype,
  type a few characters with another
  keyboard, then switch back to Swype. 
  This will trigger Swype to reload the
  license.  To do this, simply
  long-press on any text input box,
  choose “Input Method”, and select an
  alternative keyboard.  Type a few
  characters then use the same procedure
  to switch back to Swype.   I hope this
  helps relieve the frustration of
  having to reinstall Swype all the
  time.  It’s not a perfect solution,
  but it’s much better than reinstalling
