If you have a post in the service requests forum, there's no need to duplicate it here. But, let's see what we can figure out. Do you have any more information? Did you install any hacks prior to the error showing up? Is this a brand new install? If it's not a new install and you haven't installed any hacks ... did you make any changes to any of the php files?

Assuming you are not on a dedicated server, you can not. You have to contact your hosting company and pass them the error message so that they can fix it. It is very likely something on their end.

As Dean mentioned the error message you get sounds like a MYSQL problem, rather than a table corruption problem. So it seems that you can not do anything on your end. Hopefully hosting company will fix it soon.

Let's look at the bright side: This incident reminds the importance of getting database backups frequently.

I'm not sure if you solved this. My host is ipowerweb and they limit the number of SQL queries to 5000 an hour. I've read that this is a too low of a setting for VBulletin. I see that this is a few years old and I'm sure you don't have this issue any longer. I thought I'd write about my experience in case someone digs up this thread for same problem.
