DB Error from nowhere in Admin

Please can someone advise me on this?

I'm confused, all of a sudden I have this error message under the menu in admin

1034 Incorrect key file for table 'zen_customers'; try to repair it
in:
[select count(*) as count from zen_customers]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Nothing has been changed on the site. just one day logged in and this message was there....

Just thought

had this a while back from the hosts, could that be whats affected it?

MySQL will be updated from 5.0 to 5.1 series to keep the most currently
available version for cPanel for our customers.

"1034 Incorrect key file" means you've got a damaged database. If you know how to repair tables using phpMyAdmin, you can do it yourself. Or, since this may be a sign of more serious problems, contact your hosting company for specific help.

philip did you try repair and then optimize using phpmyadmin? Maybe that may help. Its pretty easy, just select all tables from zen and drop-down-arrow for repair and then the same for optimize.
