- John,
-
- I had the same problem. You need to go into regedit. Navigate through
- Local_Machine\Software\Borland\Borland C++\5.0 and delete the entries
- for IDE and Workshop. That solved the problem for me. There is also a
- patch available on the Borland Web site that addresses a number of
- problems.
-
- Good luck!
