Problem with Full-text searching

I am getting this error message from SQL Server when attempting any full-text
catalog operation:
Error 7619: Execution of a full-text operation failed. The parameter is
incorrect.
The service appears to be installed and running on Windows 2003 Server and
the error appears to be coming from stored procedures like
sp_fulltext_database. What do I need to check next to resolve this problem?
can you create your catalog or fulltext indexes through the wizard?

No. The wizard terminates after this error message appears.

creating a table.
Can you try this for me
create database fulltextest
GO
use fulltextest
GO
sp_fulltext_database 'enable'
GO
create table fulltext
(pk int not null identity constraint pk primary key,
charcol char (20))
GO
sp_fulltext_catalog 'test','create'
GO
sp_fulltext_table 'fulltext', 'create', 'test','pk'
GO
sp_fulltext_column 'fulltext','charcol','add'
GO
sp_fulltext_table 'fulltext','start_full'
GO

The first step that broke was the one with sp_fulltext_database 'enable'. I
worked it out with a Microsoft support engineer, though.
