My repository has suddenly stopped working.  I'm not certain exactly when it happened.  I tried upgrading to dnn 5.5 to fix it but that didn't help.  Here is the error from the event viewer:

Unfortunately the error doesn't, at least not that I can determine, say which file has the server tag that is "not well formed."  Anyone else ever have this problem?  I'd really hate to have to remove the module and redo all of the items.  Perhaps there is a way to remove the module, re-add it and then move the items from the old copy to the new one?

Thanks for your help.

I'm using version 3.1.15.  As far as windows updates, I'm not sure about that.  I run those on my local machines all the time.  However, my web site is hosted. by a hosting company so my running windows updates wouldn't impact it.  However, the hosting company could run windows updates.  Even so, it doesn't make any since that a windows update would mess with the dnn as?x or dll files.  If that happened it would likely break a lot more than just the repository module and it would be a wide-spread problem.  Precisely which quote character are you talking about?  I could easily pull up the repository.ascx file and search for it.

No custom template, no new uploads since the last time it was working.  I did as you suggested and added a temp page with another repository instance.  It gives me the same error.
