Error code "File not found Result code = -43" PLEASE HELP!

I keep getting this error message: "File not found Result code = -43" when trying to load instruments from the media tab. Does anyone know why this is happening and know how to fix this problem? I'm in the middle of a project and need help! Thanks.

Mac book Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.5), 1.83 GHz, Motu Traveler, Logic Pro 7.2

So, I've narrowed down the problem to happening with the following steps (could someone possibly try this and see if the same problem is happening?)

If I load an instrument track and its blank and select a GARAGEBAND loop from the media list, I get the error message.
If I load a new instrument track and select any other instrument from the media list (besides a Garageband instrument) everything loads fine, AND THEN if I select a Garageband instrument from the list, it loads fine with no error.
If I select "No plug-in" in the channel strip after this, and try to load a Garageband loop, I get the error message and all other instruments from the media lists fail to load until I select "no-plugin" again from the channel strip and select an instrument from the media list BESIDES a Garageband instrument and then go from there (and can then load a Garageband instrument).

Is anything like this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

Not quite sure whether this will address your actual problem, but it might. There have been a lot of reports of the Logic 8 installer accidentally deleting some of the instruments and presets that were originally installed with Garageband. I wrote these instructions on how to extract them from the Garageband disk or your original system disk. Check them out, they might help you.

I had the same issue, trashing my preferences worked for me.

I have the same problem (every time i hit play i get "File not found Result code = -43" and then "Fade update failed (Error -43)") but i trashed the two logic preferences in the user library and the two preferences in the main library and i STILL have the problem. Any other suggestions?
Thx
