Cannot Create Full-Text Catalog

I had a perfectly good FT catalog, but I was trying to repopulate it after
making changes to the noiseeng file. I restarted the Full-Text search
engine.
When I tried to run a full-text query against the table, I got this error
"no such interface supported". In the message there was a recommendation to
create a new catalog.
I decided to delete the existing catalog, but now cannot create a new one.
I get the following full message:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Cannot execute changes.
Create failed for FullTextCatalog 'FTCDoctors'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

The links are dead links now. Figures.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Ross
Unable to find a cure, I uninstalled the Full-Text engine, rebooted,
reinstalled Full-Text, rebooted and was able to rebuild the catalog and
index. But I'd sure like to know what happened and what this error really
means.
