I have re-installed 4 times since this version came out (every 2 months I try twice.) The thing is, it doesn't seem able to connect to my local computer (hence, the problem with query), and search doesn't work either... I am currently set to that repository by default:

I'm afraid it didn't help, but thanks for trying. I have posted this as a bug to activestate BTW.


My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features.
