Have you downloaded and installed all the Delphi 4 patches? They were
still on the Borland website the last time I looked.

Moving from the W95/98/me to the NT OSes can reveal bugs and
idiosyncracies, but this sounds pretty drastic. I don't think
recompiling under a later Dephi would make any difference, but it may
be worth trying.
