- The issue can be corrected by rebuilding the system data
- To check which company is corrupted, you can use the command vutil.exe -c vpcnt???.pay
- You can rebuild the one company that is corrupted with the command vutil.exe -r -a VP???xxx.pay, where xxx denotes the company number
- In order to rebuild all the data in the system folder, use the command vutil.exe -r -a * .pay in command prompt
- Take note, that should you have many companies or data, the rebuild process can take very long
- Once the rebuild is complete, access the system to confirm the rebuild resolved the issue
