damaged tables

Yesterday morning three tables were damaged. The data was present, but everything else seemed to be wrong. I couldn't even copy or query out the table (even after deleting all of the related files besides .db) without getting errors that indicated there was not enough disk space. (not true) When I tried to repair the table I got a turbuild version mismatch error. I don't know how that could happen without any change to paradox (10) or the tables (7).

I tried so many things, that I can't recall what actually worked. I believe I created a new table, and then appended a backup copy of the file to populate.

Interestingly as I tried to create the secondary index, multiple times it disappeared. Also, as I had made many copies during this process there was a point I looked at tablelookups. This particular table had no lookups, and yet multiple errors came up saying "unknown internal operating system error" and gave the names of all the filenames I had duplicated earlier. This stopped happening when I moved all of those tables out the diretory.

This morning after viewing the windows system backup, these same files come up with the error:
[Can not read data. Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.] [ERROR].

Does anyone have any clue what is going on? The tables are working now, but I am very nervous not understanding what happened.
