Default Avira Rescue CD Problems

Hello,
I have used the rescue CD for about a year now without any problems but on the most recent version I get the following error:

“The scanner could not be found or the rescue system device is unknown.”
I get the error when it is trying to load the vbase015.vdf file.

I thought it might be a bad version so I waited about 24 hours and downloaded it again. It states the same error.
There have not been any hardware/software changes on my system. Also, this is from burning the iso to CD, as I always do.

I have googled the error and checked the Avira forum, but I have not found an answer that has helped.

Anyone seen this or have any idea where I might start to correct this please?

Thank you.

Have you tried a clean reinstall first?
