These objects, server vms on an esxi host, all used to work at one point. Recently I began receiving a down status with the message, "Input string was not in a correct format." I have tried deleting and recreating the objects, but I receive the same message each time.

Is this ESX(i) 4.x? The thing is that ESXi 4.x is no longer supported in PRTG as of version 15.3.19.4028.
I would advice upgrading ESX(i) since general support already ended and technical guidance will also end this year in a few months. See also: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/support/Product-Lifecycle-Matrix.pdf
If you absolutely need to continue using ESX(i) 4, write us an email (support@paessler.com), reference this KB post in order to provide you with the old executables used by the sensors. The downside to this would be however that you won't be able to use the new Datastore Sensor and you would have to do replace those sensor after every update of PRTG.
Kind regards.
