*** Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from or write to the database ***
The quickest and most thorough way to solve this problem is a batch file, written
by fellow MVP Torgeir Bakken from Norway. Reboot the computer and, before
running any other program, run the batch file. It will tell you when it is finished.

Here it is: http://www.michna.com/kb/fixdb.bat
