The time saving options can still be quite useful about 70% of the 
time.  So, instead of turning them off I'd first suggest closing the 
workspace and deleting all the temporary files (.ncb, .plg, etc... if 
you don't know these yet, learn them), re-opening the workspace and 
doing a full compile.  98% of the time this corrects any problems 
you're having with out the need for turning off options like "edit 
and continue".  If it still doesn't work you've hit that other 2%, so 
then try Dave's advice.
