Sitefinity: Unexpected end of file has occurred

I am hoping someone might be able to answer this question on Sitefinity. This happens when we try and save a page after some changes were made. We are trying to work out why this could be happening because this does work on the localhost installation. Our thinking is that when we send the database back to the client to restore, they need to downgrade from from SQL2008 to SQL2000.

Here's the error...

Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: SettingTypeName, BaseSettingValue, ArrayOfBaseSettingValue. Line 1, position 4001.

Many thanks!

Do you have any custom aspx controls in sitefinity or have you edited any of the base sitefinity page widgets where you might be missing an end quote on an attribute?

e.g.

<SettingTypeName myAttribute="heresAnAttribute >blah blah blah</SettingTypeName>

If I remember correctly, the lack of the closing end quote gives a similar error to what you're seeing...
