Reboot your machine and try again. I once had this problem in a VB5
application. My typically 1.5 meg exe had ballooned to like 50 megs for no
reason. Apparently alot of garbage was being included and to this date, i
have no idea why. In any case, it finally occurred to me to reboot and
subsequently everything was normal. So reboot, its worth a shot.
