After your comments about this, I have copied all my BPL and DCP files
to "delphi/lib" but that makes no difference.

I should expand a little on my previous post: If I go to
"Components|Install Packagages" and I only re-add one of the design
packages (doesn't matter which one) then I can just switch the other
ones in the list of design packages back on by clicking in the
checkbox next to them and all is well again (until I close Delphi down
again, of course) It's almost like it can't "remember" the path, and
once it has been reset, it's all fine again.

I'd like to learn more about IBO, but I don't really want to go
through this rigmarole every single time I want to run Delphi.
