Re: [Visualpython-users] Odd crashes in Win98

[Gary P. <pa...@in...>]

Follow up:
I installed new Nvidia drivers.  Still crashes, but less frequently, I
think.
If I run programs without Idle, ie from a DOS window, everything works fine.
No crashes.

To sum up:  If I run from Idle with either old or new drivers, I get
crashes.  If I run the old drivers from either Idle or command line, I get
crashes.  If I run from the command line *with* new drivers, then no
crashes.
