Good morning,
I get the message you can see in the attachment on Admin Tools, at the top of the page.
How to fix the tables, and do you know what caused this problem?
Thank you,
have a good day

Try reinstalling the Admin Tools package without uninstalling it before. This will cause the database update code to run again which should fix any missing tables.

If the problem persists please use phpMyAdmin on your hosting control panel to select the tables with _admintools_ in their name. Then select Repair from the drop-down at the very bottom of the tables list. If that gives you an error you will have to contact your host.

I cannot tell you exactly why the tables are corrupt, only that it has to do with your database server. This is NOT normal and something you shouldn't experience. It is probably an indication of the MySQL service shutting down improperly (crashing) while a write operation was taking place on the table. If that happens frequently you should contact your host. It might be something as simple as server configuration or something as important as an early indication of the server's drive array reaching its life limit.
