I've fixed this problem a few times by downloading and using CCleaner from CCleaner.com. Use the registry cleaner regularly and the problem doesn't seem to reoccur.

Of course, the other fix is the backup of the database. You can copy and paste the backup over the corrupted version and that'll take care of it.
Jersey Jim provided an excellent "walk through" of this process a while back. It really needs to be reposted and placed in an accessible spot for people who have this problem in the future.
