If you can't see what to do after that, come back here with the output

HTH,

That was a great help, thank you. I now see what is causing the
problem but I don't know how to fix it. I used easy_install to install
several packages. When I run Python from an administrator command
window all of the directories in C:\Program Files\Python25\Lib\site-
packages\easy-install.pth are added to the sys.path. When I run it as
a regular user, those directories are not added to the sys.path and so
Python can't find the modules.
I know how to manually add those directories to Python's search path
but then I'll need to update the path every time I install something.
How do I get Python to automatically load the easy-install.pth file
for the regular user account?

in particular what is in sys.path for the non-admin user.
Also what are the access rights to the easy-install.pth file?
