Can you post a minimal working example that duplicates the problem?

(If you follow the instructions at the link above, the process of creating the minimal example might itself reveal where the problem lies.)

Thanks but I don t think there such a MWE for my problem as the file is big and it is to do with the TOC...I usd to compile the same .tex code and the output file somehow now is changes...I did not change any thining in the code or the class file...

But I got recently this error, Please see attached

Coudl it be due to this error?

Thanks for your help

There is no situation in which a MWE is inappropriate. Did you read the link I gave you? Even if you can't create one from the ground up, you should be able to create one by working in the other direction. But it appears your problem has changed.

It sometimes takes three compilations before a table of contents appears correctly.

But I got recently this error, Please see attached

Try starting a new thread in the TeXnicCenter subforum. I don't use TXC, or Windows for that matter, and have no no clue what that error means, but if you post there you're more likely to attract the attention of someone who does. It doesn't look like the kind of error that would be related to your TOC numbering issue, however.

It has already been made clear under what conditions it would be possible to help you with this issue. This is not something someone can solve "just by thinking about it". We need to see sample code that generates the problem. I gave you a link to instructions on how to create such an example.

You should work on your general attitude towards the forum. It's not the first time that you have been asked for a properly phrased question along with an appropriate example.

Regarding the problem, you should check the particular code for the concerned chapter heading. It seems like it was done with the \chapter* command and then added to the ToC with \addcontentsline.
