I am assuming that you are using compressed TBs, as everybody else. If so,
download DATACOMP.EXE from Bob's site (it's part of the tbexe.zip in the TB
directory), and then run
  FOR %f IN (*.emd) DO datacomp t %f >>t.txt
from the command line in the directory that contains your TBs. After it'll
finish check the file t.txt for the possible errors.
