It's version 2.3.0 non-commerical for Windows. My OS is Windows 2000 Professional SP4. Using this same version of Qt for a Ruby-based implementation of a similar app I didn't experience the access violation crashes when invoking the setCentralWidget() method. It's sporadic, as the crashes sometimes take 2-3 widget opens/closes to happen. Other times it takes more. Trying to debug the crashes the script never makes it past this method. Here's an excerpt from the Dr. Watson error log: function: QGList::findRef 39d2dd42 807c240800 cmp byte ptr [esp+0x8],0x0 ss:00c09513=00 39d2dd47 7407 jz QString::fromUtf8+0x8a (39d36850) FAULT ->39d2dd49 8b4108 mov eax,[ecx+0x8] ds:00cd9f51=48001500 39d2dd4c 33d2 xor edx,edx 39d2dd4e eb06 jmp QString::fromUtf8+0x90 (39d36856) 39d2dd50 8b4110 mov eax,[ecx+0x10] ds:00cd9f51=48001500 39d2dd53 8b5114 mov edx,[ecx+0x14] ds:00cd9f51=48001500 39d2dd56 56 push esi 39d2dd57 85c0 test eax,eax 39d2dd59 740e jz QString::fromLatin1+0xb (39d36869) 39d2dd5b 8b30 mov esi,[eax] ds:007ad4d8=00858340 39d2dd5d 3b742408 cmp esi,[esp+0x8] ss:00c09513=00000000 39d2dd61 7406 jz QString::fromLatin1+0xb (39d36869) 39d2dd63 8b4008 mov eax,[eax+0x8] ds:012873be=00000000 *----> Stack Back Trace <----* FramePtr ReturnAd Param#1 Param#2 Param#3 Param#4 Function Name 0012F664 1E057D56 089FE908 00857948 00000001 088FAAD0 !QGList::findRef 0012F6C8 00000001 00000000 00000000 007A5234 00779288 !PyCFunction_Call -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
