Why not, isnt it fun? ;-)

Try playing around with a few things. eg...

* Make sure the BPLs are in your operating system path somewhere
(either move the BPLs or add the BPL directory to your path). I am
not certain that this is supposed to be entirely necessary, but I
found it was required in my configuration - possibly because I tend to
move things about and so Delphi is not saving things to default
locations.

* Make sure the IBO packages are not specifically excluded from your
default project settings.

* If you have any packages that depend on IBO, completely remove them
from the package list and then re-add the IBO packages. Exit and
start up to see if IBO is still there. If so, then try to re-add your
dependant packages.

* Try and ensure that Delphi is loading the IBO packages in the
correct order by removing them all and then re-adding the dependancy
order - exit and restart each time to see if they are being saved.

I hope something here helps.
