Things have moved on from here but I am still not fully sorted. Rather than trying to repair the installation I completely removed my installation, removed all redundent registry references and reinstalled from my original disk. This got me a partly working IDE - now when I try to run the IDE it is not finding a number of procedure in dbxCommonDriver100.dbl. Also the IDE and the start up screens do not reflect the current version I was using.
Help About reports I have version 11.0.2627.5503 installed but when I run the check for updates it reports there are no further updates. I also notice that the IDE is not closing down properly and leaves BDS.exe running as processes after closing. CodeGear have a December 2007 update which should be installed but that requires certain earler updates which I cannot find to be installed. Any suggestions about where I go from here?

As the application came up it kept on reporting that it could not find certain packages and asked if it should attempt to re-load them next time. Now this is where I went wrong - to many of the popups I choose No. Needless to say Delphi 2006 didn't work, but to my surprise when I tried to run my current version od Delphi 2007 it loaded much more quickly - obviously skipping all the packages it should have been installing. Now I cannot do anything with it. If I try and open anything up in the IDE or attempt to start a new project I get a memory access violation. I have tried repairing Delphi and re-installing from my original disk and then running updates but to no avail. Can someone advise me on how I can recover the situation?
