[DUG] [computing] DElphi XE2 suddenly stops working

[Jeremy North]

You should go to the default registry key and just remove the
components/experts and see if that is all you need to do.

You can disable a component from loading by putting an underscore as the
first character in the "Data" value in the registry.

Might make it quicker to figure out the packages causing the issue.
