I've been staring at registry entries for a couple of days, comparing those on a machine which doesn't exhibit this strange behavior with the machine which has the problem. I have not been able to find any differences which look significant (there are some insignificant differences; for example python vs. Python). In particular, the PythonCore keys you refer to below are identical between the machines, with the exception of the difference of the case of the first letter. Since this isn't a Unix machine, case is presumably insignificant (besides, the case in the registry matches the case in the file system for each machine). Not only that, but the PythonCore keys are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so they couldn't account for differences on the same machine between two different user accounts. > > I had previously installed Python2.1, and didn't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip anyway. I'll keep searching. -- Bob Kline mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rksystems.com _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
