A stupid question
Hello all. Let me say first that I have no idea what python is or what it does. I bought a floor model computer, and it came with all sorts of ridiculousness on it that I promptly uninstalled. However, now whenever I start windows I get a message saying "LoadLibrary (pythondll ) failed." It also says this when I try to download into a bittorrent client, and it keeps it from downloading. What does this mean, and how can I make it go away? Thanks for any help, and sorry for the dumb question! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: A stupid question
It says exactly: The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed Don't know if that helps at all.

Re: A stupid question
I knew what everything was for when I uninstalled it, I just didn't happen to know about every component part, apparently. ;) I have tried reinstalling the Bittorrent client, and to no avail. (The computer is a Toshiba Satellite laptop, if that helps anyone.) Any other ideas?
