I assume you are not talking about Delphi components such as Imagelists, ActionLists, Menus, etc, as I don't see any way to inactivate them. Although I suppose ActionLists can be set to Suspended.
I am using some 3rd party components, such as an explorer drag & drop, RXTrayIcon, some Indy components, and a serial port component. The first 2 can be set to Disabled in the IDE. I'm not sure the Indy components are actively doing anything until utilized in code. Same with the serial port component. So that leaves RXTrayIcon and the Drag'n'Drop component. I'll try anything.

Wrapping the activation in a try..finally should then hopefully catch the exception (if it is, as I believe, a component is involved) and get you closer to finding out what is causing it.
