First; my wxPython GUI application is basically used to configure and start/stop the console application. Here is what I did now: I start the GUI application and do a too quick stop - making the win32console come into this concurring failing state. Then I start another instance of the same GUI app. This detects the running console application, and I hit the "stop"-button in this new instance. It then attaches to the console and terminates it without problems. If I now start the console application again I am able to stop it without problems from the new instance of the GUI, but with the old instance I still get the same error each time... So, basically the win32console gets into a failing state when it gets the "Handler is invalid." exception, and it doesn't get out of this state even if I call FreeConsole(). So the question is how to clean up this mess. Is there another function I can call? Can I reinitialize the win32console somehow? Create a new instance or get a clean start in some other way..? I feel like this was a silly question, but I'm in the blue here... Thanks! Stian
