Hi,
I'm running Windows 2000 SP2 and I really wanted to get started with
wxPython, because I've read so many good things about it. I've downloaded
the latest windows installer binaries (both normal and hybrid version) and
they install fine. However whenever I run any of the demos it crashes with
an exception error (Stack Overflow) in Kernal32.dll.
I'm stumped, can anyone help me get it working?
Cheers,
Andrew Wilkinson
Probably not 
All I can tell you is that I run the same OS, and have installed and
deinstalled several versions of wxPython (I needed pre-release features at
one stage, then had to fall back to current production for other reasons)
and my system never missed a beat. Do you have compatible Python and
wxPython, or is there a release mismatch? That's about all I can think of
that might account for your woes. [You do have Python installed, right?]
regards

How are you attempting to run the demos? How far is it getting? (Does
running
python -c "import wxPython.wx"
also crash?) How about demo/simple.py?

I think this kmay be the beg I posted a message about a couple of months
back. On some machines the message loop seems to get into an infinate
recursive loop handling a windows message (I think it is a font message but
I cannot remember).
This only happened on Single Frame ptograms. MDI frames still worked.
The only slightly unusual thing about the machine it happened on ws that
nvdesk.dll appeared in the stack trace. (NVidia drivers?)

And IIRC when the user stopped using nVidia's multi-desktop tool then the
problem went away. Has anybody else with NVidia seen this?
