You need to change the names or pointers so it looks at the second table. You have a piece of sand grit jamming the lens mechanism in your camera. Next time you are in a town of any size, look up the yellow pages for camera repairs and take it in. They may be able to blow it out. Because the camera is stuck in the "close" cycle, it won't let you take more pictures. Try taking out the battery and leaving it for a few minutes. Hopefully it will reset.
