Default "bad data encountered while translating midi chunk list" diigi wizards help!!

hello
i'm running PT LE 5.1 on a G4 400 blue w/ Digi 001
for the most part i love it
we've recently moved all our session stuff to an EZQuest Cobra+ which after 3 days of trouble shooting i also mostly love.

however, one song, which was never a problem before and is deadlined for release mid march, will not load

at launch i recieve the message

"could ot complete the 'Open Session..' command because: bad data encountered while translating Midi chunk list"

i have never seen this error before (and trust me, i've used the digi nonstop for a long time now, i've seen many) anyway...

i did a search of the online answerbase and found one case relating to Windows
that said it was corrupted session data(makes sense) and the only answer was to make a new session and import audio.
We compose within protools think clicks n cuts or gazzilions of edits...
so imorting the audio files won't much help me get the song back

any advice or workarounds?

any answers much appreciated
we have a record to finish

PS we tried to download the 5.1.1 updater and get a unspecified error if we try to install it we're running 5.1 and even tried reinstalling 5.1 to make sure the update recognized we had it. Any ideas? A corrupted download do you think?

thanks again
