Thats the problem, you haven't read the instructions in the upgrade tool.
If you attempt to run version 7 on a version 8 database it will damage the database and make it unstable and unusable.
Hopefully you did follow the part about backing up your database before running the upgrade tool.
What you will need to do is go back to your version 7 backup database (beofre the upgrade tool was run on it), compact and repair it, then run the upgrade tool on the database. Once upgraded ONLY run the upgraded database with version 8, NOT with version 7 or you will end up with an unstable database.
