That file is just basically a log, should be able to delete (rename it addr.old or something just in case) it and the program will generate it again.  Keep your bitcoins  Wink

Click on your start menu, type %appdata% in the search box.  Then, click roaming, then Bitcoin, then you will see it there.

Use windows to search for addr.dat, then rename it and run the bitcoin client again.  I don't know where it will be since I don't use XP.

On a related side note, responding to your post led me to checking my own Bitcoin folder whereupon I noticed the size of my block index file increase by 1 kb -- I knew a block had been solved  Grin

It will always remake the file, its a log generated by the client, thats why I said to del/rename it since it was having a problem loading it.  If it's still giving you the same error message after deleting then it must be an issue with the client itself.
