Yesterday evening I installed a fresh copy of BDS2006 Prof on my laptop. After installation I verified if everything was OK and registered it. Next I wanted to apply update #2 and it seemed that it went OK ... BUT ... when trying to start BDS2006 it just flashed the black splashscreen and stopped again. I thought it maybe had to do with the fact that I had .NET 1.0 and 1.1 installed, so I removed 1.0 ... no relief ... so I uninstalled and re-installed BDS2006 again (what a h*ll of a job ...) and the same happenend. I do not have anything special installed, just MS Office and some small utilities. The system is an Acer laptop with a P4 2.53 Mhz, 512MB memory and 30GB HD
Maybe you have some leftovers from the previous version. Configuration files etc... which when only browsed by the IDE during startup already crash it.

In the directory <AppData>\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\<large directory name> there is a file which BDS accesses while startup. You can check with FileMon (www.sysinternals.com) which one it is. Delete this file, then Delphi Update #2 starts normally.

It sounds like someone found the solution to your problem, but on the subject of RAM, I think you'll have a much better D2006 experience if you have at least 1GB, preferably 2BG, in my experience.
