Jon,

Sorry, you are right. It was just that I thought it would explain my
problem clearer. After many hours re-installing Delphi, .NET etc etc I
was beginning to get really frustated.

Anyway, because nothing helped and I could not find an answer on the
Internet, I just reformatted my entire drive and installed Win XP from
scratch. Which ofcours took a while and I just installed XanaNews to
see any replies from my message. I did install Delphi just yet, but
will be soon. And after each and every step I wil make a complete image
of my C drive to my second drive. And will repeat this for any
component I will install. If I am able to find how or why it messed up
the help I will post a new message (without any attachment!).

Again, sorry.

Regards,
Fons

Roy,

I did, but their solutions unfortunately did not work for me. See my
reply to Jon for the rest of the story...

Just thought - if you're retired who cares about the download speed - you've got plenty of time. At least until you reach the next stage - death - and then you've got even more time, but the internet connections are lousy or so I've been told.
