>From some Googling, it looks like this error can happen in Windows when you have registry problems. This isn't a Python problem as far as I can tell. A few things for you to try: * Try running your code on another machine with the same directory. * Run cmd.exe and see if you can run "dir f:\\code\\python\pgmgallery/*.*" * Try using other drives besides F: (C: is a good start) * Try using other directories under F: drive in your program and see when you start hitting the problem.
