That error message is a pretty good indication that your database is corrupted. The easiest way to fix it is to log out of your KA1 and then sign in to create a new database.
This will remove any annotations, etc. so you might want to grab a copy of the corrupted database before doing the sign out. Depending on how damaged the database is, you may be able to recover some information from it.
