Yes that is what I initially thought. I should have mentioned it.

I reinstalled BIDs on one of the PC's that was having this problem and it works.

On another Machine (Server) I had someone login and they were able to launch BIDS and the package validated relatively fast. That sound like it has to do with a BIDS user file that is corrupt.

I tried staring BIDS from the command line including Safe Mode but no luck so far.

Thanks.
