This is just a guess:  DA's are supposed to not have their slot number hard-
coded into them (they're supposed to figure out which one they are at runtime).
Some very old DAs didn't do this, and if they're installed in a slot other
than the one they were compiled for, they fail (these DAs typically came
with their own installers).  Try removing the DAs that seem (or you remember
to be) the oldest until the problem goes away.  Then reinstall until it comes
back.  Then don't use that DA, or find a newer version.

Most DA installers (probably all) don't check for this problem.
