I don't know how the version numbers compare, but the DeskWriter (no C, or 550C) driver 3.1 I couldn't get the ANSI library to compile. Removing the driver let it compile. I have version 3.9 of the driver now and was able to recompile the library when I upgraded to Symantec C++ 6.0. I also used to have project files die on me, and that went away as well. It sounds like you found the problem, so I wouldn't worry about the driver. I had a couple of bombs when I first used 32 bit ints with one of my projects. It turned out that I had computed the size wrong and I guess I was overwriting a malloc block. Actually the changed in size probably moved things so that I was overwriting the malloc block only with 32 bit ints.
