John, I can empathize with your frustration. With any luck Component | Install Packages will have the missing packages listed but unchecked and with the full path of the package listed below. If so, try to add them back in. Also check your library paths which at this point may also be screwed up or ill-ordered or have a mixture of both versions. I've been there before. It's a bit of trial and error trying to reload the IDE.
Only thoughts I have at the moment.

As the application came up it kept on reporting that it could not find certain packages and asked if it should attempt to re-load them next time. Now this is where I went wrong - to many of the popups I choose No. Needless to say Delphi 2006 didn't work, but to my surprise when I tried to run my current version od Delphi 2007 it loaded much more quickly - obviously skipping all the packages it should have been installing. Now I cannot do anything with it. If I try and open anything up in the IDE or attempt to start a new project I get a memory access violation. I have tried repairing Delphi and re-installing from my original disk and then running updates but to no avail. Can someone advise me on how I can recover the situation?
