    <div>First thing is to see if your current

      <br>
      Rename the directory so the IDE cannot open it, then start the
      IDE,  if it still crashes, then it could be some component/tool
      inmstalled in the IDE - try renaming the relevant dlls.<br>

      If it is default project related, try deleting the project&#39;s dsm
