Hello;

We had this error too and it has always been a corrupted file.

Here is how we found the file and fixed the problem. Our bank has several
branch servers and each branch is backed up using Backup Exec. First we
Terminal Services into that branch server and then review the Error using
the NT4/2000 event viewer. The event viewer will display the filename and
location of the corrupt file.

In our case the corrupt file was an Outlook PST file. We had the user delete
there stored deleted email, and perform some maintenance on there Outlook
account. Once they did this Outlook re-wrote the file and the problem was
solved.

Hope this helps you.
