I reinstalled Lazarus with FPC 2.2.0, because it got too complicated to deal
with several compiler errors. It couldn't find components like TWinControl
and TMenu, though it had not trouble finding them through source using
[Ctrl+Left button] in IDE.

When it began to tell me, that codes from FPC units results in range check
error, I gave up.

Sorry, I should have written all my findings, but it got frustrating and
went back to FPC 2.2.0.
