  I see. Does this also happen when you browse the online help? What version of PyQt do you have installed? You can find out if you type 'modules()' in the debug window. I'm currently testing on 32bit Windows XP:

  Python 2.7.3
  Type "help()", "copyright()", "credits()" or "license()" for more information.
  Type "modules()" for details about installed modules and version information.
  Use the "print [msg]" statement in inline_script items to print to this debug window.
  >>> modules()
  OpenSesame 0.27-pre1
  Python 2.7.3
  PyQt 4.9.4
  PyGame 1.9.1release
  PyOpenGL 3.0.1
  PsychoPy 1.74.01
  Pyglet 1.1.4

  I'm not sure what this error means, but it looks like it can be captured by overriding QApplication. I suppose I'll have to do that then.

  What do you think about the idea of having a webkit browser integrated? It's a bit heavy maybe, but it's very simple to implement in Qt and it's a very easy way to allow access to offline and online help using a single.

  I have a slightly older version of PyQt4 than you do. I'll upgrade and try again:

  
  OpenSesame 0.27-pre1
  Python 2.7.3
  PyQt 4.9.1
  PyGame 1.9.2pre
  PyOpenGL 3.0.2a5
  PsychoPy 1.74.01
  Pyglet 1.1.4
  

  I liked to notion of being able to browse the help files from inside Opensesame, so surely keep it in there!

  Upgrading to PyQt 4.9.4 did the trick. There is no longer a hard crash after clicking Offline help. Solved!
