Hello,<br><br>I can confirm what Winfried reported. I use eric4-4-2-3 and it crashed all the time as long as I didn't stop the autoupdate (furthermore the crash let a pythonw process runing which takes loads of ressources). After configuring the proxy, I restarted the autoupdate and every thing worked fine.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
in our company we use windows XP and I had crashes every time I try to<br>
start eric 4.20. After the splash screen at start up there was a hint<br>
about a illegal address and eric4 crashed. I use eric4 often at home<br>
on linux: he is stable and I like him. So I played around with the the<br>
configuration utility and switched the auto update thing OFF<br>
(Application/Preferences/update/Check period to NONE). We use a proxy<br>
in our company and so I later switched the use proxy checkbox Use prox<br>
to ON and inserted the proxy address and port here. After that I could<br>
check for updates, manual and auto triggered.<br>
<br>
I think, eric4 has a problem, when he is installed behind a proxy and<br>
he tries to get information about newer versions from the internet (at<br>
least on Windows XP).<br>
<br>
regards<br>
Winfried<br>
