[Eric] Re: Eric crashes on winxp

[Laurent Bonny]

Hello,

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.

regards,
Laurent
