Hi all,<br><br>a program I've written on pyqt4 behaves on a strange way on some windows systems, and I would like to ask your opinion, based on similar experience you might have faced. The application fetches some images and displays them on mainwindow. While this works as expected on linux, mac and windows xp professional platforms, it does not display all images on windows xp home systems. So instead of displaying 10 images, as it should do, it shows 2 or three. The code behind each image display is the same, and works perfectly on the former systems, still for a mysterious reason it doesn't work on the later ones!
<br><br>I don't have a clue why this might happen. If anyone has an idea what might go wrong with these systems... The package has been built to windows executable on a windows professional system, so could this be the reason it doesn't work on home editions? Still why it manages to display 2 or 3 (out of ten) images each time is a mystery...Unfortunately currently I have not access to a windows xp home system to built it there and see if it works fine.
<br><br>Another important issue is that when the program searches on the internet for the images to display, the mainwindows seems to freeze (especially on slow connections) and the user might think that the application has crashed, while when it gets the results it 'comes back to life'. Is there a way to avoid this, and keep the mainwindow appear normally, while it fetches and displays the images?
<br><br>If anyone has a clue or wants to see how these happen, please check <a href="http://indywikia.sourceforge.net">http://indywikia.sourceforge.net</a> for the source and drop a sentence. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>
