Unexpected error occurred? Camera on N70

Hi there,
Suddenly my camera on N70 (the main one, 2MPix) stopped to work. The problem is that when I open the cover or run the camera application I get the message: "Unexpected error occurred. Power off th.." Place is available, I cannot access any settings, camera used to function very well. No physical damage to the phone happened.
Front side camera works fine. I did install some applications but all on MMC and removing MMC and rebooting phone does not help. Software version is 5.0616.2.0.3, RM-84. Any ideas???

To get rid of this error, make sure you have:
C:\Nokia\Images and E:\Images
It happened to me also, when trying to free some sapce from C drive I accidentaly delete the folder Nokia and I thought it will be generated automaticaly, but it isn't. The same error was displayed on the screen and thje only options were Go to gallery, Help and Exit.

Yes, only "go to gallery", "help" and exit... I have these folders :/ Use "Nokia Software Update" don't resolve this problem, too. :/

The file which causes this problem is C:\System\Shareddata\101ffa86.ini - 972 bytes and if is deleted the problem disappears. The problem is that none of the file explorer can delete this file because is in use. I think the only option you have left is a soft format or a factory reset.

Try to power off and then back on your phone (NOT A RESTART!, use the power button), it did the trick for me.
