Couple things you can do here. 

1) in the reports only window, open a new account tree, which will appear at the bottom of your tabs. I think you can then close the account tree only window. I remember messing with this in the past, but I don't recall the results.

2) in the account-tree window, recreate each report that is in the other window (you can use the report-only-window to check your report configuration). once you've recreated them all, you can close the reports-only window and move ahead. 

3) in the report-windoow, "Save" each report (be sure to give them custom names first!!!!!), then close them all, restart gnucash and you can open your reports from the Reports => Custom =>  menu selection.
