Error reading symbol files?

Hi

I`m new to Delphi and this error message seems very cryptic. When my project loads I`m getting the error : error reading symbol files. There was a Borland tip I found about deleting certain project files that was suppose to eliminate this error. Unfortunately, the problem reoccurs even if the files are deleted.
 
I just joined today, so this may be a little late now.
Anyway, that's nothing to worry about.
Delphi's just trying to read the symbol files to help itself
debugging your code.
If there are no symbol files yet, you'll see the message you've received, and Delphi will generate them the next time you compile.
To avoid this the next time you open your project
you have to tell delphi (somewhere in the environment options)
to automatically store "desktop & symbols".

Hope this will help.
