So what can we do about this? I'm wary about two things: 1. Thomas reported one instance of Win98FE rot, of a kind that simply plagues Windows for any number of reasons. He wasn't able to reproduce it. So while I've noted his report, I'm giving it little weight so far. 2. I never use Tkinter, except indirectly for IDLE. I've been in and out of 2b1 IDLE on Win98SE all day and haven't seen a hint of trouble. But you're a Tkinter power user of the highest order. So one thing I'm wary of is that you may have magical Tcl/Tk envars (or God only knows what else) set up to deal with the multiple copies of Tcl/Tk I'm betting you have on your machine. In fact, I *know* you have multiple Tcl/Tks sitting around because of your wish comment: the Python installer no longer installs wish, so you got that from somewhere else. Are you positive you're not mixing versions somehow? If anyone could mix them in a way we can't stop, it's you <wink>. If anyone else is having Tkinter problems, they haven't reported them. Although I doubt few have tried it! In the absence of more helpers, can you pass on a specific (small if possible) program that exhibits the "hang" problem? And by "extremely unstable", do you mean that there are many strange problems, or is the "hang on exit" problem the only one? Thanks in advance! beleagueredly y'rs - tim
