Hmm, OK. This does actually sound like a bug in Delphi to some extent (I'm usually very loathe to call any problem a problem in the compiler since 99.99% of the time if a program doesn't work or has a problem it's my fault, however this is somewhat special in that these types of internal compiler type errors are not really "meant to happen" I think.) It might be worth posting on the borland newsgroups about this and/or on qc.borland.com. The key issue though is that for any meaningful help or fix to be given (including on this list) with this type of issue you ideally need to isolate what causes the problem and provide a test case/test application that demonstrates the problem. This is sometimes very time consuming, difficultor impossible. Nevertheless, can you have a look and try and establish through a process of elimination which component/aspect of your app is causing Delphi to be unhappy and post an as simple as possible application that causes delphi to break? One other thing (in the face of MemProof not being an option in this case) I'd try using MemProof as well (j.meier/Bob suggested it as well), it's pretty good (though I prefer MemCheck for the most part, as you can no doubt tell.) However, MemProof has the advantage of being seperate/independent from the IDE/compiler. It's available here: http://www.automatedqa.com/downloads/memproof/ Note, IIRC, you need to install the older complete Installation program version first, install it, *and* you must then update the exe file with the latest exe file (you'll see there's several downloads on that page.)
