   It seems fairly clear that the problem lies in your system's setup, so I'd   
   strip it to the bare bones.   
      
   First, back out the PMMERGE from FP6 - IIRC, it had problems.   
      
   Next, disable all of your add-ons:  empty your startup folder, rem-out RUN=   
   statements in config.sys, and deregister questionable WPS classes.   
      
   FWIW... a few years ago, all my compiles started failing.  After I disabled   
   everything then started adding stuff back, I discovered the cause was FT2LIB.   
   It certainly wasn't what I expected because compilers, linkers, etc, are all   
   text-mode apps while FT2LIB only loads into PM processes.  Still, it _was_   
   the cause of the problem.  The moral here:  leave no stone unturned.
