I forgot to mention that this is installed on a machine running Windoze XP
Pro.

I just noticed an earlier posting (9/17) from somebody experiencing some of
the same problems. We have this running on another machine under Windoze 2k
Pro and it works just fine.

Perhaps there's something in XP that screws up parts of Delphi?

Just like the earlier poster said, NONE of the library paths were set up
after I did the install; my 3rd party component libs had trouble finding
built-in stuff; I have to manually set up lib paths to EVERYTHING, and add
explicit search paths in the project when I've never had to do that before.
There's something really screwy with this installation...
