Help Programs on SD Card Disappeared/Other Programs Failing

This is the second time the same thing has happened. Last time I called Verizon and they had me clean the phone. I was not thrilled. I've combed the web and can't find anything on this. Do I need to go to Verizon for a new phone tomorrow (please say no)?

Problems I'm Having:

- On my homescreen, any apps stored on the SD card are displaying the generic Android icon.
- None of them are listed in the list of all apps.
- None of them are listed anywhere in settings > apps.
- I go to the Market, it acts like they're not on the phone at all.
- When I go to most of the other apps I've been logged out, if it lets me open the app at all. After login I immediately get a "stopped unexpectedly" error message. None of them will let me get anywhere.
- On bootup I get several "stopped unexpectedly" errors from random apps I assume open on bootup.

What I've Tried/Know:

- Tried rebooting and pulling the battery a couple times.
- Tried ejecting then reinserting SD card a couple times. (in settings > storage, it's still listed at the same level)
