No idea if this will work (I haven't run into this particular
problem), but have you tried deleting ALL the files in the directories
for those bad save game slots?

That might get rid of whatever is corrupted and let you start using
those slots again.

When you start the game, there are no files in a save game slot until
you actually use it, so clearing all the files should just put the
slot back to it's original condition.


Also, how are you fixed for free disk space?  I've noticed that those
save game directories keep taking up more and more space the longer
you play the game - wonder if that could be causing any problems?
(Just a wild guess, in case you hadn't looked into this already...)
