Is it, by chance, an error 126 you get in such cases? Back in HH times, we often had this problem of intermittent build breakers, which vanished when you simply did the build, again. In most cases, 126 was the error code dumped to the console. I discussed this with Ause at times, and he suspected the Virus scanner (McAffee) on our new-by-this-time machines. IIRC, disabling the scanner didn't help - which doesn't mean it is not guilty, there might still be some components deep in the system causing this. Sadly, we never found the time/courage/whatever to completely isolate a standard machine from the Corp. network, completely uninstall the scanner, and challenge our theory. So: Is there some error code when your build breaks, and what's your virus scanner? Ciao Frank
