AWESOME - my life just got THAT much better. The bug you suggested is exactly the problem that I was having... I had looked through the bugs being tracked, but the title of that one didn't jump out at me as something that would help. Thanks!
- Chris P.S. For anyone reading this group who wants to know exactly what I did: 1) Uninstall Pywin32 2) Open the registry editor ('regedit' at the command prompt) 3) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python[version]\Python for Win32 You will likely find many many many keys that have the format "ToolbarDefault-Bar#". These keys filling up your registry cause Windows 2000 to become extremely slow/unstable when Python is running (especially if your debugger is running.) 4) Delete the keys... I just deleted it at the "Python[version]" root 5) Reinstall Pywin32 "Roger Upole" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > These look like symptoms of sf bug #1017504 > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1017504&group_id=78018&atid=551954 > > What version of Pywin32 are you running ? > There's a (semi) fix for this in the latest build. > hth > Roger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
