Hi Could it be delphi direct? This polls a borland database over the internet occasionally for new 'news' from borland. Usually just after the ide is started. Try turning it off in tools/enviroment options/delphi direct. Warren

When I start D7 it sometimes appears to lock up. Usually just after the ide loads, but sometimes a few minutes later when I try to log into freevcs. When it does lock up, I can't run any other internet application: email, ftp, browser etc. Killing the processes is very difficult, and I have resorted to rebooting a few times. Lately I find if I leave it for 10 or 20 minutes (and go and have breakfast) it all comes back online fine. I thought maybe something to do with ZoneAlarm firewall but there's nothing in the logs. It doesn't do it all the time, just occasionally. It never does it with d5 which I also use regularly. Maybe D7 doesn't like it when I start work on an empty stomach.
