Panic: Delphi 5 Ent. freezing at splash screen

2010-01-13 Thread Jerry Clancy
Help! Earlier this evening I was debugging a project and all was going just 
fine. Then in debug mode D5 itself crashed (a common one) and I noticed that I 
had two copies of delphi32.exe running in Task Manager. Since D5 wouldn't close 
I ended both programs using TMgr. I then decided to restart Delphi by clicking 
the project file and D2009 started by mistake (I have both on the system). I 
closed it after it fully opened. However, on reopening D5 it now freezes a 
few seconds after displaying the D5 splash screen. I notice eventually that a 
2nd Delphi 5 entry appears in Task Manager and the CPU usage is at 100% until I 
kill them.

I am now suspecting a Registry issue. The only Borland D5 file that seems to 
have changed is delphi32.dmt in the Bin folder.

This actually could not have happened at a worst time, as I have deliverables 
due tomorrow. Any thoughts on how to proceed short of reinstalling D5 would be 
most welcome.

Never had this happen in 15 years of using Delphi.

Problem solved.  I started D5 by clicking another project and it opened OK. The 
inadvertent opening of the original project with D2009 corrupted the D5 project 
files. Once these D2009 project files were deleted the D5 project then opened 
without incident.
