    Hi necy,

    In addition: there is no easy way to find out what Python program is causing this. You'll have to find out yourself.

    When the error comes up, what programs are running? What is listed in Task list (under Ctrl+Alt+Del)? After some times, you'll see what program is common to all those situations.

    Kind regards

    Hans

    Try removing and reinstalling (if you need it) the Python software.
