The change may be in the behavior; there were situations in previous versions of Fox where the 'recompile all' would freeze Fox. The error may be caught now, and you may be experiencing a reported error instead of freezing. There were usually a couple of tricks to get out of this:
- pack the project (there's an option in the Project menu)
- open the project as a table and blank Object memo. Close, open the project and try to recompile.
- track what it's compiling and catch the last file compiled; edit that file and change the code a little - add a comment or move a couple of lines
- try again
- If nothing else works, rebuild project from scratch.

So, there's no sure-fire magic here, just a few things to try. Might work.
