Reedy (tjreedy) Date: 2006-04-21 01:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=593130 I have opposite experience. Winxp home sp2, upgraded without uninstall. Did not turn off Win Firewall or AV. Idle 1.1.3 starts up nice as can be. File/Recent File list is still there. Opened one with test code and it just reran; all tests pass as did before with, I believe, same test report output. What happens when you open a Python command window? Have you run test/regrtest.py or anything else? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-04-21 01:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 1. Start up a command line (Start -> Run -> cmd). 2. Change to the directory in which Python is installed (the following will likely work, if you installed Python using the default configuration)... c: cd \python24 3. Run idle from the command line... python lib\idlelib\idle.pyw Tell us what it prints out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1471806&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
