Sounds like an OS problem to me. 

If so you can use the System File Checker  to see if a file is corrupt or
missing and restore it. 
In Win98SE you find it under Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System
Information. There is probably something in Win2K/XP that will  so a
similar job of looking for a file that went south.

That's where I would start anyway.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
