Running 64-bit version of Moss 2007 Enterprise on W2K3R2 server. Site contains one portal and three top level sites. On the portal and only one of the top level sites I receive this error when clicking on Manage Content and Structure or any of the Reports: "Cannot perform this action. Please try again."

I removed all 3-rd party web parts and used the ?contents=1 to ensure the page is clean, verfied the web.config does not trust anything other than what was installed by default. The two other Top Level Sites are fine. I did notice using Designer 2007SP1, that both the portal and the bad Top Level site both contain default.aspx files in both the root of the sites as well as the /pages folder. I know MOSS is supposed to use the default.aspx in the /pages folder. The default.aspx file on the root are set a the site's home page but the welcome page setting located in the browser is pointing to the /pages/defaul.aspx file.

The options to change the home page by right-clicking on the file in the folder list of Designer is grey-out and none of the files will allow me to delete them. I have farm administrator and full control permissions to all of the sites.

I have searched the web for 3 weeks now and the only references I have seen to this problem is that it may have been caused by someone opening the sites in FrontPage instead of Designer or a failed Service Pack installation. The service pack seemed to install fine. I cannot ensure that another administrator did not open it in FrontPage since management decides what the permissions will be. Unfortunately, there were no solutions available.
