I tried the Repair Option but it did not seem to work. Even the last backups were giving the error. What I did was just resave them with a different name and it seems to be working okay now. Monitoring now.

Thank you. I will do that. I do not have the Pak installed.
The fact that all three have gone faulty, point to a hard disk / file corruption problem.
Do you have "System Restore" available for the drive that holds the files?
