Don't you just love those informative Windows error messages?
I had that error message before (can't remember the circumstances),
and never found out what the problem was. Had to work around it
rather than fix it.

When I've had these errors, it's usually indicated
that -- at some point -- one of my network drives
has gone down, especially but not limited to the
one I'm hosting my python-site-packages directory
on. Forcing a reconnection to the drive
(ie net use /del followed by net use) seems to solve it,
even if the drive is by now up and running again.
YMMV

This is a standalone PC with only a dialup modem for connectivity.
It's an old Win95 machine.
Basically I want to do GUI progrmaming in Python on windows to expand
my offerings as a programmer. I thuoght the win32 api would be good
but I'm also considering wxPython now (I really don't like Tkinter)
FWIW - I'm an unemployed software developer who likes programming in
Python and Smalltalk if anyone needs a warm body.

I'm afraid that win32all no longer supports Win95 - that is the cause of
the error. Windows 98 or better works.
I realize this sucks, but at some stage I have to let go - and if it is
good enough for MS to call 95 "unsupporte d", it is good enough for me <wink>

As soon as I install wxPython on a Py2.3.5, my win32ui / win32gui apps
freak out. buttons in dialogs are magically pressed. backgrounds of

this is with current wxPython (it was the same situation with a wx

When I uninstall wxPython the other win32ui/win32gui apps work again.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
