   Currently I am getting 404 link errors when clicking on Old Entries, Archives, Categories links.

   When I click on the Valid XHTML there are 8 errors which are related to embedded flash videos which I resently addded.

   Is it possible the code from these added flash videos has corrupted the MYSQL database?

   I am able to link into Site Admin.

   Wouldn't have thought so, but never say never.

   Have you been playing around with your Permalinks lately? Or added/changed/updated any plugins? Or edited your .htaccess file?

   Go to:
   Admin > Settings > Permalinks
   Switch to the default structure, then save changes.
   Switch back to the previous structure. Save changes again.

   What happens?

   Please reset your .htaccess file using the above method by @alism , just SAVE the settings once again and WordPress should rewrite the .htaccess file automatically.

   Also check that if you are using Custom Structure the value mentioned is correct eg /%postname%/

   No.

   Go to:
   Admin > Settings > Permalinks
   Switch to the default structure, then save changes.
   Switch back to the previous structure. Save changes again.

   I had permalinks set to custom which had been working.

   As you suggested, I switched to the default and saved.

   Now the links work.
