Hmmm, let me review what I think you've said the problem is.

1.  A project compiled successfully.
2.  You made some changes and now it says "file not found: controls.res" 
and similar things.  In other words, DCC is finding controls.pas or 
controls.dcu, but is not finding the corresponding .res file.
3.  Your old project still compiles ok. 
4.  Therefore you have both the old and new projects and can do a file by 
file comparison.  That's what I would do next, use a diff program and see 
if you spot something that jumps out.

What causes a message indicating a .res file can't be found?  In the case 
of controls.pas, on my system as I have it now (D6), it would be when E:
\D6\Source\Vcl is on the path, but E:\D6\Lib is not.  The former contains 
the source for controls.pas, but not the .res file, while the latter is 
where the .res lives, along with controls.dcu.

Have you looked to make sure controls.res is present?  

Hope something helps,

Brandon
