Hi David, one of the reasons I don't use Eagle
much anymore was some of the stranded wire and
dodgy unrouted wires.

It is a bit buggy, the best I can recommend is
to delete whatever they attach to, and add the
parts again. You may have to delete quite a few
things until it comes good, then add them again.
I have seen similar probs with the autorouter,
when ripping up some tracks to manually re-route
them it can get very buggy. Maybe an "expert"
user might know ways around these problems but
I think Eagle really needs some work before it
is friendly and usable for the newbie.
