May be you can check crash log of RB to see where exactly it have crash.

Since it crashes on COMPILE, this is not V4R bug.
REALbasic do not like something in your project ...
Maybe really project is corrupted
Try re-save it from RB to other location or other name


Another TIP in such cases:
    just try remove parts of project from project
    and try compile it to see if this help.

you mean 1.x here.  Since you already did porting to 2008
I do not see sense even try it.

But even if youtry it, you mustuse
   a) old V4RB 1.11
   b) old REALbasic CARBON
