Sean,

Have you tried my previous suggestion to rebuild all files in the
project?  If so and it didn't work, please ZIP up your entire project
directory and send it to me.  I suspect the code is fine, and since you
reinstalled the compiler I'd expect the compiler to be fine; chances are
the compiler has got a conflict with some other piece of software (driver,
VxD, something currently running, etc.) somewhere on your machine.

I can tell you that there are probably millions of happy satisfied
customers out there running the exact same compiler on a smattering of
different machines, and they're not all having the same problem.  Would
you be opposed to removing and reinstalling Windows and all the software
packages you use?  That's my last-ditch-effort suggestion, but I've had to
do it before and it certainly cleared up some weird problems for me!

Jeff
